* Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits anetchild2004-12-311-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 PR: 69997, 70539 (and maybe others) Discussed with/on: java@, x11@, trevor, portmgr Tested by: mezz, portmgr, pointyhat RPM hunted down by: Joseph Gelinas <scirocco@tasam.com> [1] Requested by: portmgr [2] Submitted by: kris [3] Approved by: portmgr

| | | | | | | AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The way OMF files are handled has been changed to use the new INSTALLS_OMF macro (similar to INSTALLS_SHLIB). Details about the new macro can be found at http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/porting.html and bsd.gnome.mk.
* Since INDEX version in CVS is always too old, portmgr decided tokrion2004-11-131-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | remove it. You will still be able to build your own INDEX or use 'fetchindex' target in /usr/ports/. The last INDEX song ever. (sung to the tune of "Imagine" by John Lennon) Imagine there's no INDEX It's easy if you try It was a hard decision It should now go and die Imagine all the people Building INDEX today... Imagine there's no ports Is it so hard to do ? Nothing to break or fix for And no GNOME too Imagine all the people Fetching INDEX today... You may say I'm a dreamer But the hacks must go away I hope someday you won't break it And let the downloads rule the day Imagine there's no cluster I wonder if you can Two hundreds ports are broken Please help us, Uncle Sam Imagine all the people Loving INDEX today... You may say I'm a dreamer But the hacks must go away I hope someday you won't break it And let the downloads rule the day

Heavily inspired by /usr/src/UPDATING, this file is intended for notes on major changes to ports and infrastructure, that have a significant impact on other ports. Indended audience is committers and developers; changes that affect users should be added to the ports section of the release notes that I hope to add in the near future. Although I am mentioned as maintainer, this should not be seen as a lock, everyone is welcome to add to this file. Requested by: many Approved by: marcus (some time ago) Inspired by: UPDATING (imp)
