From 870baf2a9ac76ec39ea9fa066418657fb53ede54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Akinori MUSHA Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2005 04:59:26 +0000 Subject: The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been dropped and the lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution. Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension libraries to run and work properly on those systems. The --march=cputype flag is disabled because it gets ruby to malfunction and fail to build. I don't know if the problem is in libpthread or in gcc. (It really makes me wonder if they had actually tested before asking me to do this somewhat risky change ;-) --- UPDATING | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'UPDATING') diff --git a/UPDATING b/UPDATING index 8f5d6a2101ab..ae59482138ec 100644 --- a/UPDATING +++ b/UPDATING @@ -6,6 +6,19 @@ You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades. +20050205: + AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r and lang/ruby18 + AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org + + The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been + dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed, + since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution. + + Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled + by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is + linked with libpthread.
