FreeBSD ports. To help users upgrade from GNOME 2.4, we have constructed an

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like the thank the following users for their
wonderful testing and patching efforts. We would especially like to thank
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> for his wonderful new splash screen.
Without these people, our team, and our team alumni, GNOME on FreeBSD would
not be possible.

Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several
different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar
variants and the POSIX cpio format.

This code is present in -CURRENT but Tim currently has no intention of
MFC'ing it. The port will allow 4.x users to benefit from Tim's current
work and the tools he is building on top of it (bsdtar, libpkg).

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.

Important changes:
==================
KDE:
- Audio/arts does not install artswrapper anymore, instead it is provided by
audio/artswrapper. See UPDATING.
- misc/kdeaddons3 is now a metaport with
editors/kate-plugins
editors/vimpart
games/atlantikdesigner
misc/kaddressbook-plugins
misc/kfile-plugins
misc/kicker-applets
misc/knewsticker-scripts
misc/konq-plugins
misc/ksig
misc/renamedlgplugins
multimedia/noatun-plugins
net/kontact-plugins
as slave ports.
- A number of KDE ports now uses OPTIONS do make various WITH_* options more
visible.
- Plist fixes
- devel/kdevelop should be able to detect FreeBSD's autoconf/automake now for
newly created projects.
- kdebase will no longer remove previous KDM configurations. This won't take
effect during the update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1 (as deinstalling 3.2.0 will still
remove the configuration), but subsequent updates will merge old configs.
QT:
- Previous versions of QT could be compiled with debugging-support enabled by
defining DEBUG. This switch has been renamed to the more unambiguous
WANT_QT_DEBUG (similar to WANT_KDE_DEBUG in the KDE ports).
the distfile was renamed (only the EXTRACT_SUFX changed and it still has
the same content and checksum).
- Some cleanup, no longer chmod(8) the distfile in DISTDIR executable
without reason and add a do-build target to brandelf(1) the binaries
instead of doing this in the do-install target so that the binaries in
WRKDIR actually can be used after a `make all` run.

"The Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven
package management system capable of installing, uninstalling,
verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each
software package consists of an archive of files along with information
about the package like its version, a description, and the like.
There is also a related API ("Application Program Interface"),
permitting advanced developers to bypass 'shelling out' to a command
line, and to manage such transactions from within a native coding
language.

4.0.4 was chosen because:
. The only newer version available as a tarball (4.1) is buggy.
. This version closely corresponds to our current default linux_base.
. This version uses the version of popt we have in the tree (unfortunately
it uses an earlier version of beecrypt).
. This version is a lot less work to port than 4.2 (elfutils).
However, I am considering how best this port could be updated to a more
recent version (e.g. 4.1.1 or 4.2, probably the latter).
This wasn't an update to the current rpm port as I haven't done enough
testing of other ports that use rpm with it.
Tested on 4.9/i386, 5.2/sparc64 and 5.2/alpha.
Maybe ruby 1.6 will be supported again, but for the moment mark this
port IGNORE when it is being built with ruby 1.6.

UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable
packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an
excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression.
Important changes:
==================
- Kmail and knode have been moved from kdenetwork to kdepim. This
means you will have to install kdepim if you want to continue using
kmail or knode. This is to ease integration with korganizer, in
the new 'Kontact' application.
- The arabic translations for KDE and KOffice have been moved from
misc to the arabic category.
- There is a new module called kdeaccessibility in the accessibility
category. It contains a few utilities for disabled users like a
magnification lens and a text-to-speech frontend.
- In KDM, you need to select the 'CUSTOM' session profile in order
to have your .xsession executed. This is particularly important if
you're using the aegypten tools
(http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/aegypten-kmail.php).
- We have started making more parts of the ports optional. In kdepim,
both Kandy and KPilot can be turned off with ports-knobs. This
process will continue in the 3.2 series.
These patches do the following things for PEAR ports:
* devel-pear-PEAR-Makefile.common.patch
- provides a do-install target and all that jazz in
devel/pear-PEAR/Makefile.common
- individual PEAR ports now just set a few variables:
* pear-ports-Makefile.common-ng.patch
contains changes for all pear-* ports including devel/pear-PEAR
See http://smradoch.innuendo.cz/FreeBSD/ for complete description.
Note: still missing are:
devel/pear-HTML_Common
devel/pear-I18N
net/pear-Net_NNTP
security/pear-Auth

rpm2cpio.pl so that it doesn't conflict with the binary version from
archivers/rpm.
PR: ports/59980
Submitted by: Juergen Lock <nox@jelal.kn-bremen.de> (maintainer)
patch involved patching the core auto* routines in KDE to accept the
PTHREAD_* variables in the environment, with fallbacks. We decided the
easiest way to implement this in ports was to generate configure instead
of risking incorrect generation at port configure time.
Said patch has already been committed to HEAD in KDE and as such will be
removed with the 3.2 upgrade once it is released.
Ports using Makefile.kde that shouldn't be using them (i.e. non-KDE
modules) have this support commented out due to lack of patch.

Without these contirbuters, and our faithful users, GNOME 2.4.0 would not
be possible.
Please check the FreeBSD GNOME site for any FreeBSD gotchas, as well as
general FAQs and documentation (GNOME 2.4 updates to be posted soon). The
best way to upgrade so that you get all shared library dependencies is:
portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes atk
portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2

Thanks for committing my patch. However, the port does not build at the
present (I think we must include <inttypes.h>, but I don't know whether
it is present on -current). This patch (pls. replace old patch file) works
on -stable with both gcc 2.95.4 and 3.3.1.

Script Lib/myconf has problem with detecting Big or Little Endian
machine and he always set "Big Endian machine". archivers/unadf will
compile but when you want to unpack some files you will get this
message:

This port did not build with gcc 3.3.1. I also fixed a
possible buffer overflow (they used gets() to read from
stdin).
Please review the patch file ``patch-cftypes.cpp'' with
extra care, since I am not sure whether this makes sense
(2 positions in the file, marked with ``TODO'' - thanks.
Also added some lines in cftypes.cpp to overcome the absence of
values.h on -current.

(may not work until a few hours after this commit - we jumped the gun a little
in order to have the update in place at the time the security notifications for
KDE 3.1.2 will be released together with the announcement of KDE 3.1.3).
Changelog from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 release:

Thanks and credits need to go to the whole KDE-FreeBSD team, as well
as everyone on kde@freebsd.org for providing feedback, reporting bugs
and just using the KDE ports.

* kill devel/libtool and move to devel/libtool13, upgrading to 1.3.5
* upgrade repo-copied devel/libtool14 to 1.4.3
* break out libltdl into its own separate port
* move to version-numbered binaries/scripts (ie: there is *no* 'libtool'
any more -- USE_LIBTOOL and USE_LIBTOOL_VER are your friends)
