Dmitry Marakasov b731fff69c Mk/Uses: Add pytest.mk 
Add USES=pytest, a standardized pytest entry point.

This knob adds dependency on pytest and defines do-test target which
calls it "the right way" (respecting TEST_ENV, with proper verbosity,
additional info on skipped tests, and resetting addopts which may
be set by upstream and introduce unwanted options). This allows to
remove duplicate (and in many cases not completely correct) do-test
targets from a lot of pytest consumer ports.

Additionally, it adds PYTEST_IGNORED_TESTS (to list tests which
fail and are expected to fail) and PYTEST_BROKEN_TESTS (to list
tests which fail and needs to be fixed). Both knobs lead to
listed tests being skipped, which is believed to be better than
always failing `test` target, allowing to monitor status of other
tests and better document known failures.

Possible room for improvement:
- Support for pytest plugins (add dependencies and disallow pytest
  from using unlisted plugins which often cause breakages)
- Treat PYTEST_BROKEN_TESTS as xfail to catch the cases when tests
  are fixed.

  Both items seem to require support on pytest side though.

AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
A new USES has been added to handle testing with pytest.
USES= pytest
Introduces dependency on pytest and adds do-test target which calls
pytest with the right environment and arguments.
Additionally, PYTEST_{IGNORED,BROKEN}_TESTS knobs are provided for
skipping failing tests in a convenient and documented way.

A new USES has been added to change an ELF binary's feature control note.
USES= elfctl
ELF_FEATURES= +noaslr,wxneeded:foo \
-noprotmax:foo \
+nostackgap:bar
Turns on noaslr and wxneeded and turns off noprotmax for the ELF
binary foo and turns on nostackgap for the ELF binary bar.
The file paths listed in ELF_FEATURES are relative to ${BUILD_WRKSRC}.
File modifications are made post-build as certain test targets may run on
the build-tree binaries.

PyQt modules have been merged into devel/py-qt5-pyqt.
This allows us to simplify PyQt framework and to be in adequacy with the
packages that the author of these libraries proposes, namely:
* PyQt - devel/py-qt5-pyqt
* PyQt-Charts - x11-toolkits/py-qt5-chart
* PyQt-NetworkAuth – net/py-qt5-networkauth
* PyQt-WebEngine – www/py-qt5-webengine
* SIP – devel/py-sip
* py-sip - devel/py-qt5-sip
* PyQt-builder - devel/py-qtbuilder
* Qscintilla - devel/py-qt5-qscintilla2
Ports depending on PyQt, must be declared with USE_PYQT=pyqt5 instead of
USE_PYQT=core gui svg etc.

Standalone USE_GL, USE_GNOME, USE_MATE, USE_PHP, USE_SDL,
USE_XORG have been deprecated for a while. For migration
purposes the framework automatically loaded the corresponding
USES={gl,gnome,mate,php,sdl,xorg} with a warning. The migration
period is now over and you must add the USES manually for USE_*
to have any effect.

The CPU_AND, CPU_ANDNOT, CPU_OR, and CPU_XOR macros in 14-CURRENT
and 13-STABLE after this date have been made compatible with GLIBC
conventions. Specifically, they now take 3 arguments instead of 2.
Ports can check whether the CPU_ALLOC macro is defined and then
use the 3 parameter form, e.g.:
#ifdef CPU_ALLOC
CPU_AND(dst, dst, src);
#else
CPU_AND(dst, src);
#endif

A new USES has been added to depend on ImageMagick.
USES=magick
adds a LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/ImageMagick${IMAGEMAGICK_DEFAULT}.
If a specific version is required, use for example
USES=magick:6 resp. USES=magick:7
If only a build, run or test is required, use for example
USES=magick:build resp. USES=magick:6,build,test
If a dependency on the nox11 flavor is required, use for example
USES=magick:nox11 resp. USES=magick:7,nox11,run,test
See magick.mk for more details on the available flags.

New default version for librsvg2.
Current versions of graphics/librsvg2 are using parts written in rust.
For architectures that do not have support for rust, and for people
who prefer not to have, or are not able to compile rust software due
to hardware limitations, the version can be chosen via this new flag.
The default on almost all architectures is rust.
If you prefer no to use rust, add the following to your make.conf:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=librsvg2=legacy

New virtual category: education.
This category comprises ports that are mainly educational in nature or
purpose, such as:
* course-writing or course-delivery applications,
* classroom or school management applications (eg, scheduling classes),
* applications, utilities, or games primarily or substantially designed
to help the user learn a specific topic or study in general, like typing
tutors, flashcard applications, or educational games.

Patents are a complicated topic, and their regulation varies depending on
jurisdiction. Patents are not necessarily related to the license and so
should not be connected to the license framework.
Patent limitations within the ports tree have been removed and left to the
user or consumer to deal with their local legislation to determine if they
can use the software without legal restrictions.

packages scripts and keywords can both be written in lua (version 5.3), see
pkg-lua-script(5) for the API.
Note that all scripts written in lua will:
- run inside a capsicum sandbox,
- be rootdir compatible (see pkg -r option)
- be cross installation compatible example: installing packages in an arm64
rootdir on and amd64 host.

Add PATCH_CONTINUE_ON_FAIL to allow patching to go through all the patches
even if one fail.
This helps when upgrading ports with a large number of patches, like
www/chromium where having to fix one patch, re-do the patching, fix the
fallout, 800 times, is really painful.
20200414:

package scripts can now be done in lua, the following are supported:
- pkg-pre-install.lua

USES=lua gained flavors.
Ports using USES=lua:module or lua:flavors will be flavored. A range of
supported lua versions can be set using XX-YY (or XX-, or -YY, or simply ZZ)
for ports not supporting all lua versions.
USES=lua sets LUA_FLAVOR that needs to be used on all dependencies of
flavored lua ports, in a similar way as PHP or Python flavors.

BINARY_WRAPPERS allow to push in front of the PATH wrappers for binaries.
This is useful when 2 tools do provide the same feature, but the configure

USES=xfce now defaults to gtk3, so for ported applications requiring
GTK2 XFCE support USES=xfce:gtk2 should be used.

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The ports tree now supports overlays
overlays are a way to help users to integrate their own ports tree
with the official ports tree without having to maintain clone of the
official tree and remerge on regular basis.
The ports tree will lookup in the overlays (in the order the are listed in
OVERLAY variable) for the dependencies and the USES. It will use the first
found.
in order to use it the user have to declare his overlays that way in their
make.conf:
OVERLAYS= overlay1 overlay2 overlay3

cmake.mk now defaults to out-of-sourcetree builds. The option 'outsource'
has been removed. Ports that need an intree build now can pass 'insource'.

bsd.qt.mk has been replaced by qt.mk. This changes the way ports have to
depend on Qt slightly.
Previously one would have written
USE_QT4=foo bar
or
USE_QT5=foo bar
while now one has to write
USES=qt:4
USE_QT=foo bar
respectively
USES=qt:5
USE_QT=foo bar
Further qmake.mk no longer respects QT_NONSTANDARD. Ports that don't want to
get the configure environment provided by qmake.mk should add the argument
no_env, ports that don't want the configure target should specify no_configure.
20180506:
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
All USE_ and WANT_ variables for PHP have been removed and marked
UNSUPPORTED. Use USES= php:<feature> as a replacement.
USE_PHPIZE, USE_PHPEXT, USE_ZENDEXT, USE_PHP_BUILD,
WANT_PHP_CLI, WANT_PHP_CGI, WANT_PHP_MOD, WANT_PHP_WEB, WANT_PHP_EMB
20180311:

USE_APACHE has been replaced by USES=apache.
20180308:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Ports using USES=php:phpize, php:ext, php:zend, and php:pecl are now
flavored. They will automatically get flavors (php56, php70, php71, php72)
depending of the versions they support (set with IGNORE_WITH_PHP). As a
consequence, ports using USES=pear and USES=horde are also flavored.
As all packages must have different package names, the following variables
must be used in PKGNAMEPREFIX/SUFFIX:
Variable + Values +
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56- php72- | PHP Extensions
| | and modules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP_PKGNAMESUFFIX | -php56 -php72 | PHP Applications
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PECL_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pecl- | PECL extensions
| | automatic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEAR_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pear- | PEAR modules
| | without PEAR_CHANNEL
PEAR_<channel>_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pear-channel- | with PEAR_CHANNEL
| | automatic
In all the ports with PHP dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST end with
the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use. This is done by
appending '@${PHP_FLAVOR}' after the origin. For example:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${PEAR_PKGNAMEPREFIX}Validate>=0.5.0:devel/pear-Validate@${PHP_FLAVOR} \
${PECL_PKGNAMEPREFIX}smbclient>=0.8.0:net/pecl-smbclient@${PHP_FLAVOR} \
PHP applications (for example, www/wordpress) can also get flavors, add the
flavors keyword to USES=php, for example: USES=php:flavors, and add
${PHP_PKGNAMESUFFIX} to its PKGNAMESUFFIX.

Add support to passing directories to EXTRA_PATCHES.
Instead of:
EXTRA_PATCHES= ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file.c \
${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file.h \
${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file2.c
Move those files to ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo/, name them patch-*, and set:
EXTRA_PATCHES= ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo

PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION have been removed.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
USES=qmake now accepts a new variable, QMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS.
Starting with Qt 5.8.0, qmake can use configure.json files to help define
configuration options and configuration time checks. These options are
generally in the form '-foo -no-bar', and must be passed after "--" at the
end of qmake's command line.
The QMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS variable allows one to set those options, and
USES=qmake takes care of passing them at the right position when invoking
qmake.
20180102:
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
There is a new USES=eigen to depend on math/eigen[23].
Usage:
USES=eigen:<version>[,<type>]
version: 2 or 3 (required)
type: build (default), run
For example:
USES=eigen:2,build,run
will add a BUILD- and RUN_DEPENDS on math/eigen2, and
USES=eigen:3
will add a BUILD_DEPENDS on math/eigen3.
20171231:
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
USES=cmake now supports two additional list variables:
* CMAKE_ON : List of variables to turn on
* CMAKE_OFF : List of variables to turn off
This can be used as a shortcut to append these to CMAKE_ARGS.
For example ports that previously set
CMAKE_ARGS= -DVAR1:BOOL=TRUE -DVAR2:BOOL=TRUE -DVAR3:BOOL=FALSE
can now set this as
CMAKE_ON= VAR1 VAR2
CMAKE_OFF= VAR3
20171130:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored. They will automatically
get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what versions they support.
There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils but
need FLAVORS to be set. A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if the port is
using distutils but flavors are not wanted.
A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been added
to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python PKGNAMEPREFIX but are
flavored.
USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the current
python flavor. It can be used in dependency lines when the port itself is
not python flavored, for example, deskutils/calibre.
By default it will only generate flavors for the versions in PYTHON2_DEFAULT
and PYTHON3_DEFAULT. Define BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS in your make.conf to
generate all possible flavors. A port can set USE_PYTHON=allflavors to have
all the flavors and not simply the default ones.
In all the ports with Python dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST end
with the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use. This is done
by appending '@${PY_FLAVOR}' after the origin. For example:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}six>0:devel/py-six@${PY_FLAVOR}
20171130:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
To help with flavored ports, helpers are available. In these, replace <*>
with the flavor name.
*_PKGNAMEPREFIX *_PKGNAMESUFFIX *_PLIST *_DESCR will overwrite the variable.
*_CONFLICTS *_CONFLICTS_BUILD *_CONFLICTS_INSTALL *_PKG_DEPENDS
*_EXTRACT_DEPENDS *_PATCH_DEPENDS *_FETCH_DEPENDS *_BUILD_DEPENDS
*_LIB_DEPENDS *_RUN_DEPENDS *_TEST_DEPENDS will append to the variable.
For example:
flavor2_PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
can replace:
.if ${FLAVOR:U} == flavor2
PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
.endif
20171130:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Flavors are a way to have multiple variations of a port. The port is built
multiple times, with the variations. To declare flavors, set the FLAVORS
variable to the flavors you want defined. The first flavor will be the
default:
FLAVORS= flavor1 flavor2
The flavors MUST be lowercase, and can contain [[:lower:][:digit:]_].
Then, when building the port, pass the FLAVOR as an argument after make to
select the flavor.
$ make install FLAVOR=flavor2
In the port, you can then change the behavior depending on the value of the
FLAVOR variable. Note that the different flavors MUST have different
PKGNAMEs. Be sure to guard against an empty FLAVOR variable by using
${FLAVOR:U}:
.if ${FLAVOR:U} == flavor2
PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
OPTIONS_DEFAULT+= FOO
.endif

New BINARY_ALIAS variable has been added, when defined it will create symlinks
of some given binaries in a directory which will be prepended to the PATH.
The syntax is the following:
BINARY_ALIAS= target1=source1 target2=source2
For example to have a "swig" binary in the path which will be pointing at
swig3.0 and a "sed" pointing at GNU sed: gsed
BINARY_ALIAS= swig=swig3.0 sed=gsed

The default generator for USES=cmake ports has been switched to ninja.
Previously it was possible to opt-in to using ninja instead of make(1)

HTTPS certificates are now verified when "make makesum" fetches distfiles.
If this fails make sure you have a CA certificate bundle installed such as
security/ca_root_nss. If it still fails and there are other HTTPS sites
with a valid certificate consider removing the site from MASTER_SITES.
If the site cannot be removed you can disable certificate verification by
adding the following line to the port Makefile:
FETCH_ENV= SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER=1 SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=1

* Qt 4's binaries have been moved to lib/qt4/bin to match what is already done
to Qt 5's binaries. Since these binaries are no longer in ${LOCALBASE}/bin,
they also do not have the -qt4 suffix in their names any more.
* Consequently, there are no Qt 4 or Qt 5 binaries in the default $PATH, and
misc/qtchooser is now used to select the actual Qt binaries. In other
words, calling "qmake" or "moc" now goes through qtchooser, which prefers
Qt 5 binaries by default.
The ports framework handles this automatically. The UPDATING entry covers
this in more detail.
* Qt 5.7.1 requires a C++11-capable compiler to be used. qmake and CMake pass
the appropriate flags to the compiler (such as -std=c++11) automatically,
but if your port fetches Qt's build flags via pkg-config (which can be the
case for autotools-based ports), you might need to take care of this
manually by setting USE_CXXSTD in your Makefile:
USE_CXXSTD= c++11
20160116:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
A new EXTRA_PATCH_TREE has been added. Points to a directory hierarchy with
the same layout as the ports tree, where local patches can be found. This
allows a third party to keep their patches in some other source control
system if needed.
For example, if you have EXTRA_PATCH_TREE=/patches, when building
lang/perl5.24, any file named patch-* in /patches/lang/perl5.24/ will be used
to patch the Perl distribution.

AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
During extraction of the do-patch target into a separate script, the "-d
PATCH_WRKSRC" had to be removed from the PATCH_ARGS and PATCH_DIST_ARGS
variables. If using these variables directly, you will need to adapt the
Makefile. For example:
${PATCH} ${PATCH_ARGS} < ${FILESDIR}/extra-patch
needs to be changed to:
${PATCH} -d ${PATCH_WRKSRC} ${PATCH_ARGS} < ${FILESDIR}/extra-patch

Support has been added for NONE license, use it when the port doesn't
have cleanly defined licensing terms. Note that without clean license
allowing you to use and distribute the code it would be be illegal to do
so in many jurisdictions, so for ports with NONE license no distfiles or
packages are distributed.

To complete the USE_GITHUB framework, a GH_SUBDIR variable has been added.
It automatically moves a secondary distfile to the right place inside WRKSRC.
It also extends the GH_TUPLE variable to make it as easy to use as possible.
Before:
GH_TUPLE= Regaddi:Chart.js:f13f99b:chart_js \
FVANCOP:ChartNew.js:77e7f87:chartnew_js
post-extract:
@${RMDIR} ${WRKSRC}/database ${WRKSRC}/3rd/Chart.js
@${MV} ${WRKSRC_database} ${WRKSRC}/database
@${MV} ${WRKSRC_chart_js} ${WRKSRC}/3rd/Chart.js
After:
GH_TUPLE= Regaddi:Chart.js:f13f99b:chart_js/3rd/Chart.js \
FVANCOP:ChartNew.js:77e7f87:chartnew_js/3rd/ChartNew.js

GH_ACCOUNT/PROJECT/TAGNAME variables:
GH_SUBDIR= 3rd/Chart.js:chart_js 3rd/ChartNew.js:chartnew_js

A new USES file has been introduced: USES=grantlee:[4,5], which introduces a
LIB_DEPENDS on either devel/grantlee (Qt4) or devel/grantlee5 (Qt5).
Uses/grantlee.mk also exports the GRANTLEE_VERSION variable to users, and the
GRANTLEE_VERSION_FULL and GRANTLEE_VERSION_SHORT pkg-plist substitutions.

AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
This adds the possibility to use regular expressions for the makeplist stage
of the PLIST_SUB life.
From time to time, the values are too generic, and they get in the way of
other stuff.
This adds the possibility to have a VAR_regex=regex that will be used
instead of the VAR=string to search for possible replacements.
For example, in lang/perl5*, there is PERL_ARCH=mach, which will get replaced
in paths if a file is called, say "machine", will end up being
"%%PERL_ARCH%%ine". Adding PERL_ARCH_regex="\bmach\b" will ensure only full

Change the meaning of NO_WRKSUBDIR to force a WRKDIR != WRKSRC.
Right now, NO_WRKSUBDIR means that the extraction does not produce a
subdirectory, and that everything goes straight into WRKDIR. It is
problematic, because during the build of a port, quite a few files
are created in there, and then, a stage directory, where everything
is installed, and then a pkg directory where the package is created,
and those often conflict, or get in the way, of the building
process.
With this, NO_WRKSUBDIR will extract the distfiles directly into
WRKSRC instead of WRKDIR. In this case, WRKSRC is artificial and is
based on PKGNAME and not DISTNAME, mitigate conflicts with rc files.

Implemented complete support for test target.
You can now `make test' on any port to run test sequence, no-op by default.
If a port defines TEST_TARGET, it'll run sub-make with specified target,
usually `check' or `test', useful if upstream supports that. The port may
instead define custom do-test target, as well as usual satellite targets:
{pre,do,post}-test, {pre,do,post}-test-OPT, {pre,do,post}-test-OPT-off
`make test' builds and stages port first, so test may use both WRKDIR and
STAGEDIR, and both BUILD and RUN depends are available for test target.
Additionally, TEST_DEPENDS is now properly supported and may be used to
define additional depends specifically for testing.
Framework may define default tests for specific cases. For instance,
perl5.mk and cran.mk provide default test target on their own.

Building ports in a chroot or jail have always required a particular
environment be setup. This was not clear though and the ports framework
did not enforce it. These requirements are:
1. Either a SRC_BASE/sys/sys/param.h, or /usr/include/sys/param.h be
present with the __FreeBSD_version_ number of the target system,
or OSVERSION be set in the environment. Lack of these would fallback
on kern.osreldate before, which is no longer the case.
2. UNAME_r,UNAME_v,UNAME_s all must be set for the target system.
Not having these values in sync will now cause the build to error until it is
resolved.
Setting these in the environment can be done via your own wrapper scripts,
or /etc/login.conf (along with cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf) or
via /etc/make.conf using appropriate values. Note that OSVERSION is redundant

The default target for 'make' now runs 'make stage' if the port supports
it, otherwise 'make build' as before.

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
A new plist keyword has been added, @sample. It accepts a file (must end in
.sample):
@sample file.conf.sample
This will install file.conf.sample and copy it to file.conf. The file.conf
will be removed if it matches file.conf.sample on deinstall.
This replaces older patterns of:
@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/pkgtools.conf %D/etc/pkgtools.conf.sample; then rm -f %D/etc/pkgtools.conf; fi
etc/pkgtools.conf.sample
@exec [ -f %B/pkgtools.conf ] || cp %B/%f %B/pkgtools.conf

New USES=uniquefiles to make files or directories unique
by adding a prefix or suffix to them.
Files listed in UNIQUE_PREFIX_FILES will receive the prefix
set via UNIQUE_PREFIX. The same applies to UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES,
but with the chosen UNIQUE_SUFFIX. UNIQUE_PREFIX and
UNIQUE_SUFFIX are set to PKGNAMEPREFIX and PKGNAMESUFFIX by
default.
The uniquefiles USES enables ports to name files in special
ways, e.g. by outlining that the port does not support X11
(-nox11). A binary named bin/foo thus can be easily renamed
to bin/foo-featureA via
USES= uniquefiles
UNIQUE_SUFFIX= -featureA
UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES= bin/foo
The uniquefiles USES automatically adjusts the plist at
installation time. There is no need to consider the prefix
or suffix in the pkg-plist file itself. If the original name
of the renamed file is bin/foo, this exact name should be put
into pkg-plist.
The dirs argument to USES=uniquefiles will cause certain
standard directories, such as DOCSDIR or EXAMPLESDIR to be
prepended with the UNIQUE_PREFIX. The change to the directories
will hapen prior to configuring or building the port, so that
the port Makefile as well as the port's build logic are aware
of the changed name.
Since the uniquefiles USES effectively manipulates the port's
installation and file layout, it will only be available for
stagedir-aware ports. Ports with NO_STAGE=yes will be unable
to use the uniquefiles USES.

AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org
lang/python (and as such the 'python' binary and accomplices)
has been removed as default dependency for the USE_PYTHON,
USE_PYTHON_BUILD and USE_PYTHON_RUN knobs.
Ports need to use a designated (default) python interpreter
to build and install and in most cases for execution in the user
environment. Ports that install python scripts, which are not
limited to a certain python version (or version range), can
include lang/python as build and/or run dependency.
USE_PYTHON=yes and similar knobs will only pull in the
default python version (e.g. lang/python27), but none
of the meta ports or lang/python itself.
Please use lang/python as build or run-time dependency only,
if there is no other way to get a port working properly, since
the usage of lang/python complicates package builds for different
python versions.

New USES=fortran to replace USE_FORTRAN.
USE_FORTRAN=yes can be replaced with USES=fortran or USES=fortran:gcc.
USE_FORTRAN=ifort can be replaced with USES=fortran:ifort.
USE_FORTRAN=f77 is deprecated and the version of gcc it depends
on (lang/gcc34) is scheduled to be removed.
Note that USE_FORTRAN=yes also makes GCC the C/C++ compiler while
USES=fortran only sets the Fortran compiler and can be used together
with Clang as C/C++ compiler.

New USES=twisted, to replace the old USE_TWISTED knob.
twisted can be configured with the arguments run or build to replace

wrote
USE_TWISTED= yes

The USE_GNOME component ltverhack no longer has a hard dependancy on
libtool.
If USE_AUTOTOOLS=libtool isn't defined it will try to patch ltmain.sh
and or libtool in ${WRKSRC}. If those files are located somewhere else
in ${WRKSRC} then it is possible to overwrite ltverhack_PATCH_FILES
with there new locations. configure script --distable-static will work also
after using the "new" ltverhack.
Please keep in mind that USE_AUTOTOOLS implies GNU_CONFIGURE so you might
need to add that back for the port to work.

Add a new USES for kernel module ports.
USES=kmod takes no arguments and:

New "compiler" USES to be able to select the compiler based on the
features it provides.
Supported arguments are:
- c++11-lang: the port needs a c++11 aware compiler what ever standard
library it uses, implies features
- c++11-lib: the port needs a c++11 standard library, implies features
- c11: the ports needs a c11 aware compiler implies features
- features: this will create a COMPILER_FEATURES variable which contains
the list of features ${CC} do support, implies env.
- env: the COMPILER_TYPE will be set to either gcc or clang.
By default the uses will try to use clang33 from ports when nothing in
base is relevant except if the user explicitly defines
FAVORITE_COMPILER=gcc in his make.conf

Stage aware ports can now create package without the requirement from
being root.
If a port really needs root anyway it should add NEED_ROOT in its
Makefile.
For a port that needs special credential on files DO NOT RELY on
chown in post-install section but rely on @own, @group in pkg-plist
Be careful about rights on directories as pkg_install cannot store them
they needs to be done via @exec chown.

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The ports tree is now staged by default. With pkgng the sequence hasn't
changed, the main difference is that creating package is now independent
from installing it. With pkg_install, the package is now created first
and make install, do install the package.
New macros:
- STAGEDIR: PATH to the directory where the port will be staged.
- NO_STAGE: Keep the old behaviour of the ports tree (aka no staging area)
Unsupported macro if NO_STAGE is not set:
- MAN* with staging man page compression and handling of hardlinks and
symlinks is automatically done in the stage. the manpages becomes then a
"normal" plist files and should be tracked in pkg-plist.
- MANCOMPRESSED the compress-man target is able to only compress when it
needed.
New target:
- stage: this installs everything into the stage directory
- makeplist: this will create a pkg-plist and print it to stdout. This is
a sample plist and it should always be _reviewed_ not directly used.
NOTE: with staging only what is in the plist will be installed, nothing more,
meaning a port staged cannot have leftovers except directories left. It is
really important to double check the pkg-plist to make sure all the files
the maintainer wants to package are in! make makeplist can help in that area.

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP_PORTS for i386 and amd64
on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.
SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
LDFLAGS.
On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].
On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP_PORTS knob will add -lssp_nonshared
to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk
symbols.

USES= desktop-file-utils
Handles MimeType in .desktop files that are installed in
share/applications.
USES= shared-mime-info
For supporting mime xml files installed in
share/mime/packages.
The desktop-file-utils USES is only needed if the .desktop files
installed by the port has a MimeType field.
USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils is deprecated.
The shared-mime-info USES handles mime types xml files.
Please note that only the packages/${NAME}.xml file should be listed in
the plist. The shared-mime-info port will clean up the share/mime/*
directories and generated files.
Both USES have there own post-install and code that adds @exec/@unexec
lines to the pkg-plist. This means that when a port switches to the
USES macro, the related post-install command and @exec/@unexec
lines can be removed from the prot.

* There is now a unified way to create users and groups
in your ports. First, make sure they are added to both
ports/GIDs and ports/UIDs, then add the following in
your port:
USERS= foo
GROUPS= foo
... if you want your port to create the foo user and
group.

* sourceforge.net has changed their URL layout to be more
flexible for their users. A new bsd.sites.mk macro SFP

* The Perl-related code parts have been extracted from bsd.port.mk to
bsd.perl.mk. This includes the user-settable knobs (e.g. USE_PERL5)
and infrastructure parts of the code, like default targets. The new
code is designed to be conditionally included based on either
USE_PERL5_*, PERL_CONFIGURE, or PERL_MODBUILD being set. However,
some of the default settings remain in bsd.port.mk while we make
sure that all ports comply with this.
* A convenient version handling has been implemented for Perl-related
knobs. With this new feature one can require a minimal, a maximal or an
exact version, that the given port needs. For the full description and
some examples, please see the documentation in bsd.perl.mk.

AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:
* The variable definitions that cover command line tools, e.g. MKDIR, were
extracted from bsd.port.mk into bsd.commands.mk, so that we can
reuse them within the infrastructure later.
* The old DESTDIR implementation was removed both from the infrastructure,
and from the individual ports. Variables like TARGETDIR should not longer
be used.
* A new DESTDIR implementation has been added, implemented in bsd.destdir.mk.
The new implementation puts no requirements on the individual ports.
20070730:
AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org
* The default Python version has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x.
* A number of variables have been added to bsd.python.mk to support
the more integrated support for Python eggs, including:
PYDISTUTILS_PKGNAME, PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION, PYEASYINSTALL_EGG,
PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO, PYDISTUTILS_EGGINFO, PYEASYINSTALL_ARCHDEP
* More detailed descriptions of the variables can be found in the comments

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* The 'make-deinstall-all' target now checks for moved ports.
* The installation directories PORTEXAMPLES and PORTDATA are now defined.
* The USE_MAKESELF knob is added for ports that use the makeself archiver.
* The description of fetch-list was updated. The targets fetch-required-list,
fetch-url-list, and fetch-urlall-list were added.
* 'make search' will also now search in ports/MOVED.
* The default method for 'make update' is now portsnap. Previously,
you had to manually select one of 3 methods: SUP_UPDATE, CVS_UPDATE,
or PORTSNAP_UPDATE. The latter is now obsolete.
* Several Makevar definitions have been moved to the pre-makefile section:
DATADIR, DOCSDIR, ETCDIR, EXAMPLESDIR, WWWDIR.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* The default dependency of USE_GHOSTSCRIPT has been changed from
ghostscript-gnu to ghostscript-gpl. The WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL variable is
now no-op. New WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU variable was added.
* bsd.tcl.mk was overhauled. Most importantly, the semantics of USE_TCL* and
USE_TK* variables was changed. USE_TCL and USE_TK now implies both build
and run dependencies, USE_TCL_RUN and USE_TK_BUILD variables were
introduced. Existing ports in the tree were modified.
* Unused category 'tcl81' was removed, and new categories 'tcl' and 'tk'
were added.
20070324:
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* Default LIBTOOLFILES value was changed from literal `configure'
to ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT}.
* bsd.efl.mk was moved to ports/Mk. USE_EFL family of macros is now
generally available to all ports.
* New macros COPYTREE_BIN and COPYTREE_SHARE were added, to allow
for easy installation of a tree hierarchy, either with executable (bin)
or read-only (share) permissions on files.
* A new variable WWWDIR was added, with default value of
${PREFIX}/www/${PORTNAME}.
* Variables DOCSDIR_REL, DATADIR_REL, EXAMPLESDIR_REL and WWWDIR_REL were
added for porter's convenience. They contain the values of their
respective non-REL variables, except relative to installation PREFIX.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* bsd.ocaml.mk and bsd.xfce.mk were added.
* The FETCH_CMD was refactored so that ports can override the command,
the arguments, or both.
20070306:
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* The remaining vestiges of FreeBSD 4.X support were removed. Any
remaining users of 4.X should have stayed with the RELEASE_4_EOL tag.
* It is now possible to include USE_PHP after bsd.port.pre.mk.
* 'make search' should now work with non-default ${PORTSDIR}.
20070130:
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* DEPENDS variable was removed, please use other *_DEPENDS variables instead.
* A new pkg-plist keyword is available, @stopdaemon. It will call forcestop
on all rc.subr scripts installed by the port on deinstall, effectively
stopping services on deinstall/upgrade.
* rc.subr script suffix is now available in Makefile as RC_SUBR_SUFFIX.
* New variable USE_CDRTOOLS was introduced. It replaced direct dependencies
on sysutils/cdrtools port. It now automatically support switching to
cdrtools-cjk port when user specified WITH_CJK. All ports were converted.
* USE_DOS2UNIX, infrastructure for converting DOS to UNIX line feeds, was
enhanced by a new variable DOS2UNIX_REGEX. It allows to specify a find
-iregex parameter to limit touched files by file extensions.
* Support for partially translated manpages was added. For examples of
usage, please refer to Porter's Handbook.
* USE_TCL/USE_TK variables were changed to provide runtime dependency. New
variables USE_TCL_BUILD and USE_TK_BUILD were added. All unintuitive
quirks of these variables were fixed.
* USE_LDCONFIG was fixed to work properly for ports, that specify @cwd in the
pkg-plists.
* Old bsd.java.mk version 1.0 macros were removed.
* New category: ports-mgmt
* New virtual category: gnustep
* Unused 'picobsd' category was removed.

AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* The bsd.port.mk pre and post includes have been split into 3 pieces
instead of 2, to allow OPTIONS to be able to influence dependencies.
This is still experimental and not yet enabled by any port. This adds
the file 'bsd.port.options.mk'.
* bsd.gcc.mk has been updated to understand gfortran.
* emulators/linux_base is now removed. linux_base-fc4 has been the default
for some time.
* The USE_FIREBIRD macro was added to bsd.database.mk.
20060914:
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* PKGVERSION was introduced as an intermediate variable refactored out of
PKGNAME.
* bsd.lua.mk was added to support lua-related ports.
* DESTDIR was removed from bsd.scons.mk because it was problematic.
* Some quotes were added to the 'missing' target to improve handling of
duplicate origins.

AUTHOR: sat@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
* MASTER_SITES variable can now look like MACRO1/subdir1 MACRO2/subdir2, and
be expanded in a way that you expect it to, that is apply different subdirs
to different sites. You can safely replace ${M_S_FOO:S/%SUBDIR%/bar/} with
FOO/bar.
* If M_S_SUBDIR is unset, a macro in M_S won't set it anymore, but rather
substitute %SUBDIR% all by itself. Now it's possible to use macros with
different default subdirs and they will expand in a proper way.
20060805:
AUTHOR: sat@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
* MASTER_SITES variable can now contain special macros which are expanded into
traditional URL[:group] syntax and cause some convenient effects, e.g. set a
default M_S_SUBDIR.
* A macro is any space-delimited word in MASTER_SITES without a forward slash.
* If MASTER_SITE_<macro> is defined, then the macro is expanded to its value.
* Abbreviated macros are provided for extremely popular locations, e.g. CPAN
and SF. To avoid further obfuscation their unabbreviated equivalents should
be avoided.
* Popular macros can trigger M_S_SUBDIR to default to a predefined value, e.g.
${PORTNAME:L} for SF and ${PORTNAME:C/-.*//} for CPAN.
* Abbreviations and M_S_SUBDIR defaults are defined by MASTER_SITES_ABBREVS
and MASTER_SITES_SUBDIRS, both set in bsd.sites.mk.
* If a macro belongs to a group (e.g. SF:source1), all the sites it expands
into also belong to the same group.
* Macros and traditional URL's can be mixed safely, their order stays intact.
20060804:
AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:
* Add DESTDIR support to let one install ports into a jail from outside.
A package is installed under ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX} now and registered under
${DESTDIR}/var/db/pkg.
* TARGETDIR variable has been added for referencing ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}.
* LOCALBASE, LINUXBASE and X11BASE variables point to the final destination
now, LOCALBASE_REL, LINUXBASE_REL and X11BASE_REL can be used for the
old behavior. The behavior has not been changed in PLIST_SUB.
Note, that the three variables are still overridable with a hack, so this
change doesn't affect POLA, but necessary for DESTDIR support.
* OSVERSION is now determined from the userland, not from the kernel.
Cross-compiling between releases is still not supported, but this
behavior is more correct for jails with differing userland from
the kernel version.
* Add some sanity check for PREFIX and DESTDIR. This can be skipped by
defining IGNORE_PATH_CHECKS, but very discouraged.
* Deinstalling from DESTDIR, determining if a port is already installed in
DESTDIR, etc. are implemented by chrooting those specific commands.
* Text changes to reflect that we are installing to DESTDIR, removing from
DESTDIR, etc.
Note, that this change implements only the infrastructure support. Ports should
also be implemented to respect DESTDIR.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* Introduces IA32_BINARY_PORT for certain cases where a given port fetches
and installs compiled i386 binaries.
* Adds some infrastructure for support of 32-bit i386 apps on amd64.
* Again fix USE_LDCONFIG logic to make it work with non-default PREFIX to
fix bug introduced in previous revision.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* Change all bogus uses of BROKEN to IGNORE. (Note: the BROKEN_WITH_*
forms are retained for compatibility but deprecated.) Internally,
these variables all had already set IGNORE, not BROKEN, so they
were really misnomers.
* Fix USE_LDCONFIG with non-default PREFIX.
* Fix DESKTOP_ENTRIES processing on 4.x.
* Add 'make missing' to show missing dependencies.
* Add bsd.scons.mk and bsd.wx.mk.

* Deprecate INSTALLS_SHLIB and replace it by USE_LDCONFIG. If set to "yes",
the old behavior is preserved. Otherwise, it can be set to a list of
directories to be added to ${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig/${UNIQUENAME}.
Note that this directory is used by ldconfig startup script, it is meant
to replace ldconfig scripts installed by some ports as (sometimes
000.${UNQUENAME}.sh) [6]
* Adds USE_LDCONFIG32 which is like USE_LDCONFIG but the target file is
${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig32/${UNIQUENAME} instead. (Note: this should
only be used on 64-bit architectures) [6]

GNOME has been upgraded from 2.10.2 to 2.12.1. This update brings with
it many important porting changes:
- gtk20's pkg-config file no longer contains the X11 pango modules.
Therefore, if your port requires these modules, you may have to
manually patch them in to your port's Makefiles. Contact
gnome@FreeBSD.org if you have questions on this.
- A new USE_GNOME component, ltverhack, has been added. This
pseudo-component hacks libtool so that shared library versions are
more consistent with other operating systems. Using this component
can prevent unnecessary shared library version changes.
- A new macro, INSTALLS_ICONS, has been added. If your port installs
Freedesktop-style icons to ${LOCALBASE}/share/icons or
${X11BASE}/share/icons, then you should use this macro. NOTE:
use of this macro requires your port to set either USE_GNOME or
WANT_GNOME.

- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not necessary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the Linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overridden) Linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
be marked as IGNORE.

The CVSup port has been upgraded with a patch to correct the
handling of the "refuse" file for files that are in the CVS Attic.
This solves a problem some people were having, where CVSup would
delete their ports/INDEX* files even though the files were listed
in the "refuse" file. The bug fix is in the cvsupd server, so
mirror sites must upgrade their servers in order for this fix to
help. Meanwhile, adding "ports/Attic/INDEX*" to the refuse file
serves as a work-around.

Py-gnome2 lost many of its GNOME dependencies to a new port,

The results from these variables is only used as information for
users.
* Honor OPTIONS if PACKAGE_BUILDING or BATCH are defined.
* Move all USE_GCC entries to new file - bsd.gcc.mk. 'test-gcc'
target allows users to check gcc version if USE_GCC is used.
Give maintainers opportunity to add '+' character to USE_GCC version
for using specified and higher versions.
Example:
USE_GCC=3.3+
builds ports with gcc version 3.3 and higher (3.4, 4.0).
* Install startup scripts with the help of USE_RC_SUBR variable.
* Add three new targets: config-recursive, rmconfig-recursive and
config-conditional. You can set or delete OPTIONS for all
dependencies before every build. config-conditional target is
used to skip configuring ports which have already been
configured.
* Fix using of WANT_PGSQL_VER variable if PostgreSQL is already
installed.

The following changes were committed:
* Define new macros: DATE, FMT, MKTEMP, OBJDUMP, and use
command macro SORT.
* Change layout of comments to 4 column tabs, remove lots
of spaces and eight-column-tabs.
* Introduce 2 new variables: SUB_FILES and SUB_LIST:
Example:
SUB_FILES= pkg-message pkg-install
SUB_LIST+= "VERSION=${VERSION}"
This looks for ${FILESDIR}/pkg-message.in and ${FILESDIR}/pkg-install.in
Substitutions in SUB_LIST are applied to these files and the
output is redirected to ${WRKDIR}.
PKGMESSAGE will be set to ${WRKDIR}/pkg-message.
PKGINSTALL will be set to ${WRKDIR}/pkg-install.
* Document DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE variables.
* Sanitize the intermittent output by the build infrastructure
so that cutting and pasting from it no longer interferes
with GNATS-tags.
* Honor configure arguments for USE_XLIB if USE/WITH_LIBTOOL_ is
used.
* Properly document 'describe' target.
* Properly remove directories at deinstallation time if ports sets
a non-standard PREFIX.
* Defaults INDEXFILE to INDEX-6 on 6-CURRENT.

* Remove USE_QT2 option, since qt2 is obsolete.
* Better define and explain ARCH option.
* Add new script Tools/make_readmes, to speedup 'readmes'
target. Avoid recursing into individual port directories and run
it at top level, after the category README.html files have been
created.
* Fix 'search' target and enable a case-insensitive search on 5-x.
* Extend 'search' target and enable search by categories.
* Remove 'tk42' and 'tcl76' categories since they're obsolete.
* Introduce DISTVERSION variable, that can be set instead of
PORTVERSION and is automatically converted in a conforming PORTVERSION.
Example:
DISTVERSION= 10Alpha3
extends 10Alpha3 to 10.a3
DISTVERSION= 3Beta7-pre2
extends 3Beta7-pre2 to 3.b7.p2
* Use --suffix option instead of -b for patch(1), to make it
compatible with BSD patch(1).
* Fix {WANT,WITH}_MYSQL_VER behavior, to deal with conflicting
versions.

As part of the ongoing autotools cleanup, devel/autoconf has been
replaced with devel/autoconf253, and devel/automake with devel/automake15.
Consumers of the various autotools knobs from bsd.autotools.mk should not

The XFREE86_VERSION variable is replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable.
XFREE86_VERSION may no longer be used by ports Makefiles. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may
currently be set to xorg, xfree86-4, and xfree86-3 (please use :L in checking
it). Several X_*_PORT variables are provided by bsd.port.mk which map to the
appropriate port for the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM chosen.

There has been a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more
flexibility and new features.
Now a port may depend on a specific set of PHP extensions. To do so,
simply replace:
USE_PHP= yes
with:
USE_PHP= ext1 ext2 ext3 ...
in the port Makefile. A list of all PHP extensions is included in bsd.php.mk.
If the requirement is a build dependency too, the port should also define:
USE_PHP_BUILD=yes
Moreover, the new knob WANT_PHP_SCR has been added to indicate that the port
requires the 'php' binary to run.
Last but not least, many common operations to build/install/register a
PHP extension can now be omitted from the port Makefile if it defines:
USE_PHPEXT= yes
For more information on this point and on additional variables, see
bsd.php.mk.

OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default.
When your port links against the openldap client libraries use
USE_OPENLDAP= yes
and do not depend on a particular version. A user (or package
building cluster) can select the desired flavor with
WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL, but these must not
be used in ports Makefiles.

USE_LIBTOOL_VER now configures a port to use the ports version of libtool
instead of its included version. This was put in place to reduce the
number of ad hoc patches to individual ports' libtools to prevent .la
file installation as well as fix various threading problems.
To restore the previous libtool behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. It works the exact same way as USE_LIBTOOL_VER
in that it takes a libtool version as its argument.
For example, to use the included version of libtool with extra hacks
provided by libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
Note: these macros are mutually exclusive. Your port should only include
one or the other if it needs to make use of libtool.

The following behavioral or feature changes were committed:
* Support verbose index builds with INDEX_VERBOSE
* Support glob expressions in USE_GETTEXT to allow more flexibility
in the face of future gratuitous library version bumps by the gettext
developers:
USE_GETTEXT=yEs # Works as before (case-insensitive)
USE_GETTEXT=[5-7] # Accepts any of those libintl.so.x versions
# in the LIB_DEPENDS
* Extend 'make search' support to allow much more flexible searching
From the PR:
Besides the good old key and name variables, this patch adds
support for path, info, maint, cat, bdeps, and rdeps, which match
on the appropriate fields, plus their exclusion counterparts: xkey,
xname, etc.
Examples:
Find all ports whose names contain "pear-" but not "html" or "http":
make search name=pear- xname='ht(tp|ml)'
Find ports whose names contain "pear-" and which don't have apache
listed in build-time dependencies:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache
The positive variables (name, key, maint, etc) are AND-ed, their
negative versions are OR-ed; in other words, matching any x-
variable will cause the port to be skipped, mismatch on any non-x-
variable will cause it to be skipped.
Examples:
Find ports that are both in the 'www' category and maintained by
Thierry Thomas:
make search maint=thierry@ path=/www/
Find ports in the 'archivers' category that are either not orphaned
or don't have "zip" in their names (contrived):
make search cat=archivers xmaint=ports@freebsd xname=zip
It is possible to select fields to display.
Example:
Find PEAR ports that don't build-depend on apache, displaying only
Port:, Path:, and Info: lines:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache display=name,path,info
Case-sensitivity can now be turned of with icase=1.
Example:
Find ports with @freebsd.org maintainer addresses without the
"proper" capitalization (@FreeBSD.org), display their paths and
maintainer addresses:
make search maint=@freebsd\\.org icase=0 display=maint,path
The key and xkey variables can be limited in scope to displayed fields
by setting keylim to 1.
Example:
Find ports that contain "apache" in either of the name, path, info
fields, ignore the rest of the record (dependencies, maintainer
address, etc):
make search key=apache display=name,path,info keylim=1
The following variables can be set e.g. in /etc/make.conf to
control default search behavior:
PORTSEARCH_DISPLAY_FIELDS?=name,path,info,maint,index,bdeps,rdeps
PORTSEARCH_KEYLIM?=0
PORTSEARCH_XKEYLIM?=0
PORTSEARCH_IGNORECASE?=1
* Extend USE_PERL5_BUILD and USE_PERL5 to add EXTRACT and PATCH
dependencies
* While building index, treat non-existent dependencies as fatal.
Previously the error was being hidden by the stderr
redirection.
* Don't always retry BROKEN ports when package building (it is taking
too much time to continually rebuild ports that are usually going
to really be broken). Set TRYBROKEN if you want to attempt a
build of a BROKEN port.

AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the next
incarnation of ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk on the road to bringing
at least some semblance of sanity back to this corner of the
ports collection.
By far and away the easiest way to see the changes will be to
view the new file once committed, but here is a summary of the
changes:
1. USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, USE_AUTOHEADER, USE_AUTOMAKE have
been fully deprecated. Ports attempting to use these variables
after the commit will error out, and most obviously break INDEX
generation, with a helpful error message. Instead, ports must
now specifically choose the version of any of these tools that
they need with the corresponding USE_*_VER variables. Note that
these variables understand any and all versions of autotools ports
in the tree, there is no longer a need to have specific version
numbers hardcoded in the infrastructure of bsd.autotools.mk
(as there is now). In particular, this will immediately open up
automake18 and autoconf259 for general use and beating.
2. Similarly for WANT_LIBTOOL, WANT_AUTOCONF, and WANT_AUTOMAKE.
Again, these have been fully deprecated, and the equivalent
WANT_*_VER versions should be used.
In order to preserve existing behavior for these variables, please
note the 20040314 entry in ports/CHANGES for the appropriate
version numbers to use for any ports in the GNATS queue.
Both WANT_* and USE_* bring in the relevant tool as a build
dependency, and set up a reasonably large number of variables
pointing to the right programs to be using in the port. The
only difference at the moment, is that USE_* will run an extra
autotools-related configuration step, whereas WANT_* merely
requests the environment.
3. The helper knob USE_LIBLTDL has been added which currently
simply adds a LIB dependency on the libltdl port.
4. Three new variables have been introduced,
WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN=yes. These variables will
do nothing by themselves (a Work-In-Progress), but if the
appropriate autotool version is defined (either through
WANT_*_VER or USE_*_VER), this will add the relevant dependency
to RUN_DEPENDS.
Steps 3 and 4 now essentially negate the need for any kind of
direct dependency within a non-autotools port Makefile on
devel/autoconf*, devel/automake*, devel/libtool*, and devel/libltdl.

There has been a couple of bsd.java.mk tweaks and fixes.
. Features from Stage 2 has been removed. A port can no
longer use the JDK dependency features by setting JAVA_HOME.
Use JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT instead (see below).
. The default JDK port now depends on OS version:
java/diablo-jdk13 for 4.x, and java/jdk14 for 5.x
. It is now possible for the user (and the porters) to
define a list of preferred JDK ports to build and run ports.
The port will use the first JDK port from the list that
matches the requirements specified in the Makefile.
JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT contains a list of suitable JDK ports
(sorted by preference). Names for JDKs may be found in
bsd.java.mk, listed in ${_JAVA_PORTS_ALL} (e.g.
"JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_1_4").
. JAVA_PORT_VERSION is now set to the full version number
of the chosen JDK (e.g. "1.4.2"). Porters will find hints
regarding how to obtain the same behavior as before in the
header of bsd.java.mk.

AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
When writing a port that uses GTK+ 2.X, you can now list the dependency
with "USE_GNOME=gtk20" which is preferable to LIB_DEPENDS because the
GTK+ library version only needs to be changed in bsd.gnome.mk.
Please see http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/porting.html for all
the available GNOME components as well as detailed instructions on
creating ports that use the GNOME infrastructure.

The glib20 and gtk20 ports were updated to 2.4.0. This new version
is completely source and binary compatible with the previous 2.2.x
series. However, certain API calls have been deprecated. If your
port defines the following macros, they may refuse to build with
the new versions of glib20 and gtk20:
GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
The temporary solution is to either patch your port's Makefiles to,
or use an in-place regular expression to remove these macros. The
more permanent solution is to wait until the port's authors update
their code to use current API calls.

There has been a big update to bsd.java.mk. However, this update
is mostly backwards compatible, so it shouldn't affect most java
port maintainers. There is some new functionality and minor
changes worth documenting here though.
bsd.java.mk now provides a new set of macros to be used by ports that
require a JDK. When USE_JAVA is set, the following variables may be set
in order to give to precision regarding the requirements of the port:
. JAVA_VERSION
A list of space-separated suitable java versions for the
port. An optional "+" allows you to specify a range of versions.
(allowed values: 1.1[+] 1.2[+] 1.3[+] 1.4[+])
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_OS
A list of space-separated suitable JDK port operating systems
for the port. (allowed values: native linux)
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_VENDOR
A list of space-separated suitable JDK port vendors for
the port. (allowed values: freebsd bsdjava sun ibm blackdown)
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_BUILD
When set, it means that the selected JDK port should be
added to build dependencies for the port.
. JAVA_RUN
This variable works exactly the same as JAVA_BUILD but
regarding run dependencies.
Here are some of the macros defined after setting USE_JAVA:
. JAVA_PORT
The name of the JDK port (e.g. java/jdk14)
. JAVA_HOME
The home of the JDK port in the local base
. JAVA_PORT_VERSION
The version of the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VERSION, see above)
. JAVA_PORT_OS
The operating system used by the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_OS, see above)
. JAVA_PORT_VENDOR
The vendor of the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VENDOR, see above)
Plus many macros for the commonly used java executables:
APPLETVIEWER, JAR, JAVA, JAVAC, JAVADOC, JAVAH,
JAVAP, JAVA_KEYTOOL, JAVA_N2A, JAVA_POLICYTOOL,
JAVA_SERIALVER, RMIC, RMID and RMIREGISTRY.
bsd.java.mk 2.0 is mostly backward compatible with the previous
version, save for the notes above and changed internal variables.
Using the new features is strongly encouraged, since the old
bsd.java.mk 1.0 features will be deprecated and may be removed in
the future.

The print/freetype2 port has been updated to 2.1.7. This update
changes some of the internal FreeType API. Applications may need
to be patched to support this new API. If a source files includes
freetype/freetype.h, make sure ft2build.h is included before
freetype/freetype.h. The proper way to do this is:
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
However, the following will work as well, but is deprecated:
#include <ft2build.h>
#include <freetype/freetype.h>

USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, and USE_AUTOMAKE are now considered
deprecated, and will be removed on or around June 1st 2004.
All ports should now choose the specific version of the tool,
using USE_LIBTOOL_VER, USE_AUTOCONF_VER, and USE_AUTOMAKE_VER.
The old "system default" behavior can be written as follows:
Old New
USE_LIBTOOL=yes USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=yes USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=yes USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

New variable MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE_EXTENDED. It has the
ten official sourceforge.net download mirrors, whereas
MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE only has five. To check if your
port is mirrored there, go to
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/${MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR}/>
click on ${DISTFILES} and you'll see five or ten mirrors,
corresponding to the variables above.

The default version of Ruby is now 1.8 on all platforms
including the i386.
Users on the i386 platform need to follow the instructions
described in the UPDATING file to cope with this upgrade.
Next time ruby is major upgraded, you won't need to do this
kind of messy work because some subtle changes have been made
to the ruby port infrastructure to make it easier to handle
multiple versions of ruby.

Mozilla will now default to using GTK2, and will only compile
against Gtk+-1.2 if explicitly requested. This is in exact
opposite to the old behavior.
The valid values of WITH_MOZILLA are now:
mozilla (www/mozilla, GTK2)
mozilla-devel (www/mozilla-devel, GTK2)
mozilla-gtk1 (www/mozilla-gtk1, GTK1)
mozilla-devel-gtk1 (www/mozilla-devel-gtk1, GTK1)
As before, WITH_MOZILLA can be set in /etc/make.conf, but doing
so is not advised unless you desire the development versions.
GTK2 browsers will automatically compile against GTK2 mozilla,
and GTK1 browsers (galeon1, galeon1, and galeon1) will
automatically compile against GTK1.
Again, the only people who will need to take action are those
who desire development versions (which are inactive at this time
anyway). Those who want GTK1 mozilla-devel must set
WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk1 or they will be pleasantly
surprised with their very own GTK2 installation on the next
update.
WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-gtk2 and WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk2
are still honored for the time being, but their use is
now deprecated. Any new ports are not required to consider
their values, and so eventually WITH_MOZILLA _will_ have to
be changed.
Hopefully galeon2 can catch up to peoples' expectations from
galeon1 soon, and we can remove the GTK1 ports altogether.

AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
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=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 every time.
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:
AUTHOR: trevor@FreeBSD.org
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
distinfo file. Then, if a distfile is replaced on its master site with
one of a different size than that listed, "make fetch" will fail with a
"size mismatch" error before downloading the file and the user will be
asked to fetch the file by hand. Also, a user will know the size of
the distfiles before fetching and decide to fetch later.
