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=yes, and the + ports system with Do the Right Thing. + + All trailing whitespace has been removed from bsd.port.mk. + + 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 ===> 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + The comment for PKGDIR read, ``A direction containing any + package creating file.'' The word ``direction'' should be + ``directory.'' This has been fixed. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + If CPUFLAGS is not defined (this _CPUCFLAGS is empty), trying + to remove _CPUCFLAGS from CFLAGS will result in an error. This + change fixes that. + + 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. + + 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. + + An .endif comment indicated that the .if block checked + WANT_MYSQL when, in fact, it was checking WANT_MYSQL_VER. This + has been corrected. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + A new physical category, net-mgmt, has been created to house + network management ports. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + 20040129: SIZE lines in distinfo files: if you set USE_SIZE when you do "make makesum", the byte sizes of the distfiles will be listed in the |
