little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some
warnings in some cases [2]
- fix a cut&past error in the linux_base-8 pkg-install script [3]
- convert the binary knob "USE_LINUX" to a version specifier, e.g.
USE_LINUX=<value> specifies a dependency upon
emulators/linux_base-<value>, exceptions are a value of "7" (which
does what you want and adds a dependency to linux_base) and any
value without a corresponding port in
PORTSDIR/emulators/linux_base-<value> (which adds a dependency to
the default linux_base)
- don't implicitly add USE_LINUX with the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob,
this allows us to use the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob for linux_base and
paves the way for splitting up future linux base ports into
individual pieces
- remove RESTRICTED from some GPL licensed ports, even when we only
distribute binaries, we get them from official linux sites, so
anyone can grab them there if he needs to
- add a dependency upon the linux X11 bits where necessary (based upon
guesswork)
- don't use USE_X_PREFIX in some linux ports since it adds a dependency
to the FreeBSD X11 libs, as a workaround use PREFIX?= (the clean
solution would be to remove the implicit USE_XLIB from USE_X_PREFIX)
- bump the portrevision of the linux ports ("better safe than sorry"
algorithm)
- pass maintainership of the important linux infrastructure to a
mailinglist, hijack freebsd-emulation@ for this purpose (if somebody
doesn't like this: tell us your bikeshed color at freebsd-emulation@,
my color would be "linuxolator@" in case someone cares...)
- add a pkg-install script for linux-fontconfig, but don't use it;
everything should work without it (the FreeBSD fc-cache program should
do all the work), but in case we need it we just need to decomment the
pkg-install part in the Makefile
- fix some dependencies
- fix some bugs
- add some static plists
- unbreak the ports with dependecies to more than one linux_base
This also fixes some ports which are marked BROKEN because of dependencies
to v7 and v8 of linux_base at the same time.
Known bugs:
- the linux-mesa and linux-devtools ports install libGL*.so symlinks
- some "minor" plist bugs (e.g. ld.so.{conf,cache} are modified by
the linux X11 port, so linx_Base-8 moans at deinstall time)
Future work (interested souls should coordinate with freebsd-emulation@):
- add some kind of USE_LINUX_X11 knob to streamline the X11 dependencies,
or modify the behavior of USE_XLIB in the USE_LINUX case
AFAIK trevor has some patches.
- make USE_XLIB and USE_X_PREFIX orthogonal to be able to get rid of
the PREFIX?= workaround in some linux ports
Should be discussed/coordinated on/with x11@.
- move the RPM bits from x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/Makefile to PORTSDIR/Mk/
- update to a more recent linux base

English; and 7.02 for French, German, Japanese, and Brazilian
Portuguese. These are reportedly free of the onunload referrer bug
(#145579 in bugzilla).
The Sun Java plugin is no longer available from the same places.
AIM is needed by the 7.02 versions. The DOM inspector and "venkman"
JavaScript debugger are available for 7.1.
Compress generated files with bzip2; omit "linux-" from their names.
The RDF files provided by the ports are no longer needed.
Update references to Netscape 6.
Run chmod to fix permissions on extracted files (for the Portuguese
slave port).
Remove unneeded XXXchecksum target.
Change the configuration process, so that extraneous files are not
downloaded. This resolves PR 44101, submitted by Fernan Aguero.
(thanks to peter and sumikawa for help).
Mark forbidden due to another security bug (scanning a firewalled
or non-routable network from a hostile Web site with Javascript).
Do not share a profile between Netscape and Mozilla builds. Doing
this can lead to unpredictable results, some of which may include
loss of Search settings and preferences and unchecked growth of
the Bookmarks file (large enough to freeze your system). It is
best to create a new profile for each or manually copy (and change
the name [of]) an existing profile.
Warn users about this.
ports/japanese and ports/www. In their place, I add corresponding netscape7
ports, after repo copies. Now ports/www/netscape7 will no longer be a slave
port. Instead it is the master port for the others.
The French, German, and Japanese ports now have AIM, because I had trouble
getting them to work without it.
I add a security warning to all these ports, about the "forward referrer" bug
(Mozilla bug 145579).
Greymagic's Mozilla Disk Explorer (http://sec.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ns/)
which demonstrates a security bug. The demo does not work with
6.2.3. I am assuming that the zlib double free() bug, if it existed,
may have been addressed, so I am removing the FORBIDDEN line.
I didn't bother to update the generated files for this release,
since the old ones seem to work fine.
Add hitherto forgotten PKGNAMEPREFIX so the English, French, German
and Japanese versions may all be installed without conflicting.
(the English port was already updated, because Netscape released
that binary before releasing the others).
Install Netscape in a different directory for each different language.
The startup command is now called netscape6english, netscape6french,
and so on, rather than just netscape6. Because of this, I set
PORTREVISION for the English version.
Allow batch builds, with all components selected by default (myself).
Respect WRKDIRPREFIX and set IS_INTERACTIVE (Simon Schubert
<corecode@corecode.ath.cx>).
Allow packages to be built, but warn that they should not be
distributed.
Add checksum target, copied from bsd.port.mk. I modified it to
only check files which exist.

the ECHO macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if
make(1) is invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to
the echo command.
the Java plugin was installed in the wrong directory. Bump
PORTREVISION in case this bit anyone else.
