--=-oMmpfFRJkb/zEohlCk5S Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This update to the FreeBSD ports infrastructure comes right on the heals of the previous changes. Basically, the previous patches raised a lot of interests, and revealed some interesting bugs. This patch attempts to address some of those bugs as well as add some much-needed recursive optimizations, changes the default threading library on -CURRENT, updates to Perl 5.8 on -CURRENT, adds new PHP and MySQL porting hooks, and much more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: New bsd.php.mk added Affects: bsd.port.mk bsd.php.mk Description: The bsd.php.mk file has been moved out of the lang/php4 port into the Mk directory. This will make it much easier to include PHP support in PHP-dependent ports. Instead of including bsd.php.mk directly, a port can simply set USE_PHP=3Dyes, and the ports system with Do the Right Thing. Submitted by: ale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Remove trailing whitespace from bsd.port.mk Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: All trailing whitespace has been removed from bsd.port.mk. Submitted by: marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Enhanced OPTIONS handling Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: Enhance the new OPTIONS code by only including saved options if the port defines OPTIONS, attempt to use LATEST_LINK as the unique name for a port (fall back to ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}${PORTNAME} otherwise), bring the =3D=3D=3D> messages in line with the existing ones by using PKGNAME instead of PORTNAME, use PKGNAME in the dialog, use ECHO_CMD instead of ECHO_MSG to write the OPTIONSFILE, display a message during compilation indicating that user-specified options have been found, and make the output of the showconfig target a little more user-friendly. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61683 Submitted by: eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add a USE_ICONV macro Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: A new USE_ICONV macro has been added that takes the place of an explicit LIB_DEPENDS on converters/libiconv. This will help with future shared lib version bumps. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D62131 Submitted by: trevor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add a USE_GETTEXT macro Affects: bsd.port.mk Too many ports to list Description: A new USE_GETTEXT macro has been added that takes the place of an explicit LIB_DEPENDS on devel/gettext. This will help with future shared lib version bumps. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61992 Submitted by: trevor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add support for p5-Module::Build Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It will eventually replace the obsoleted ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Many new Perl modules have already switched to using Build.PL instead of Makefile.PL. To facilitate building those modules, a new PERL_MODBUILD macro has been added. Use that in place of PERL_CONFIGURE when porting Perl modules that make use of the Module::Build framework. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61621 Submitted by: skv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Enhance bsd.sdl.mk with WANT_SDL Affects: bsd.port.mk bsd.sdl.mk Description: Certain ports want to check for the availability of SDL libraries before including them. This change adds a new WANT_SDL macro similar to WANT_GNOME. By setting this, the porter indicates that her port can optional use SDL if present on the system. WANT_SDL should be defined _before_ bsd.port.pre.mk is included. After including bsd.port.pre.mk, the list of available SDL components will be returned in the HAVE_SDL macro. For details on how to process this component list, refer to bsd.sdl.mk. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61877 Submitted by: edwin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Remove NetBSD and OpenBSD bits from bsd.port.mk Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The OpenBSD and NetBSD projects diverged from the FreeBSD ports tree years ago, and it no longer make sense to include obsolete references to incorrect paths in the FreeBSD ports system. This change removes the NetBSD and OpenBSD PORTSDIR compatibility bits from bsd.port.mk. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61401 Submitted by: Markus Brueffer <brueffer@phoenix-systems.de> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Correct a type in PKGDIR description in bsd.port.mk Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The comment for PKGDIR read, ``A direction containing any package creating file.'' The word ``direction'' should be ``directory.'' This has been fixed. Submitted by: trevor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add new DIRNAME macro Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: A new DIRNAME macro has been added that points to /usr/bin/dirname. All direct use of dirname in ports can be switched to this macro. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61684 Submitted by: eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Cleanup bsd.port.mk Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: Direct use of commands dirname, id, and rm have been corrected to use their macro equivalents instead. Some useless ${HEAD} -n 1 statements have been removed. A strange comment in the do-install target and an out of place ``fi'' have been fixed as well. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61684 PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61955 Submitted by: des eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: The default Perl for -CURRENT has been updated to 5.8.2 Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: On 5-CURRENT after the 5.2-RELEASE split, the default Perl version has been updated from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2. As well, some Perl definitions in bsd.port.mk have been moved to their correct locations which corrects the PERL_LEVEL definition. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61857 Submitted by: des ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Optimize recursive operations on the ports tree Affects: bsd.port.mk bsd.port.subdir.mk Description: The following optimizations have been added to the ports system to speed up recursive operations such as make describe, make index, make ignorelist, etc. bsd.gnome.mk is now only included if a port defines USE_GNOME, WANT_GNOME, and/or USE_GTK. More variables are cached and passed down through bsd.port.subdir.mk. Perl is no longer invoked when a simple ``echo'' will do. More subshell variable assignments have been hidden behind conditionals so that the commands are not spawned everytime. Finally, dependency lists are only constructed if ports actually declare dependencies. These optimizations give make index approximately a 43% speedup. Submitted by: kris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Do not attempt to remove _CPUCFLAGS from CFLAGS if _CPUCFLAGS is not defined Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: If CPUFLAGS is not defined (this _CPUCFLAGS is empty), trying to remove _CPUCFLAGS from CFLAGS will result in an error. This change fixes that. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61757 Submitted by: marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Remove sysutils/rc_subr dependency on -CURRENT Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: On recent versions of 5.X, /etc/rc.subr exists, and there is no reason to install another copy in ${LOCALBASE}/etc. The reason this was ever done was to workaround some build issues on bento. However, testing OSVERSION seems to work in spite of those build issues. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61454 Submitted by: Sergey Matveychuk <sem@ciam.ru> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add MySQL 5.X support to the ports system Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The ports system now supports MySQL 3.23, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0. Also, the ability to scale to newer versions was also but in place. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D60559 Submitted by: ale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Fix a comment typo related to MySQL Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: An .endif comment indicated that the .if block checked WANT_MYSQL when, in fact, it was checking WANT_MYSQL_VER. This has been corrected. Submitted by: linimon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Change PTHREAD_{CFLAGS,LIBS} behavior Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The PTHREAD{CFLAGS,LIBS} macros have been made overridable on all versions of FreeBSD to allow for alternate threading implementations (e.g. -lc_r, -lthr, -mt, etc.). The default threading library has been changed to -lpthread from -lc_r on -CURRENT. Submitted by: eischen netchild ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Do not check distfile size on FreeBSD < 4.8 Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The new SIZE support broke distfiles fetching on FreeBSD < 4.8. On those versions of FreeBSD, the SIZE distfile attribute is now ignored. Also, defining DISABLE_SIZE in, for example, /etc/make.conf, will ignore the SIZE attribute on all versions of FreeBSD. This is useful with alternate values for FETCH_CMD. Submitted by: marcus netchild ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Do not install ports with security vulnerabilities Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: A new vulnerabilities database has been added to the ports system in order to keep more accurate, up-to-date, track of security vulnerabilities. The ports system now knows how to query that database and dynamically prevents the installation of vulnerable ports. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D62039 Submitted by: eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Use ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/pkg_* tools if found Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: In order to allow for more rapid development of the package tools, the ports system will prefer to use pkg_* tools found in ${LOCALBASE} over those in the base system. However, all PKG_* macros are still overridable. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D62039 Submitted by: eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: A new net-mgmt physical category has been added Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: A new physical category, net-mgmt, has been created to house network management ports. Submitted by: wollman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Stop relying on port.mkversion Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The /var/db/port.mkversion file never really took off, and is now very obsolete. Replace the code used to generate and check this file with a simple OSVERSION check. The ports system now requires FreeBSD 4.3 or higher. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61856 Submitted by: des ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Fix a regression in checksum processing Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The last round of bsd.*.mk changes broke ports that had duplicate distinfo entries (e.g. linux_base). This is now fixed. Along with this fix, only distfiles with a bad checksum will be refetched, where as distfiles missing from distinfo will not be refetched. Submitted by: marcus eik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Allow PLIST_{DIRS,FILES} to make use of PLIST_SUB Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The PLIST_{DIRS,FILES} macros were passed to the final package list unchanged by PLIST_SUB. This is not always desirable. Now, those macros are passed through PLIST_SUB. Submitted by: marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: BUGFIX Title: Switch to root to run config and rmconfig targets Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The previous OPTIONS code assumed users would be running port build as root. If this was not the case, OPTIONS configuration would fail. Now, the bits of the config and rmconfig targets that require write access to system directories are run under SU_CMD. Submitted by: marcus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type: FEATURE Title: Add SIZE attributes for distfiles by default Affects: bsd.port.mk Description: The makesum target will now add a SIZE attribute for each distfile by default. This can be overridden by defining NO_SIZE in a port's Makefile. Note: this could probably be expanded to omit SIZE attributes for specific distfiles in the future. PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D61972 Submitted by: trevor Along with this, all the ports that depend on gettext had their PORTREVISION bumped to (hopefully) help with the upgrade.
