- Add significantly better support in bsd.python.mk for working with
Python Eggs and the easy_install system

=========
1. If we are doing --show-work, don't launch background processes
that are only useful for real builds.
2. Fix a rather obscure bug that can only happen:
IFF you are doing an install of a new port, and
IFF you have a dependency "early" in the list with an +IGNOREME file, and
IFF you have one or more dependencies "late" in the list that are not
installed. The bug is a false positive on the +IGNOREME for the uninstalled
ports. The solution is to reset the "port to test for +IGNOREME file"
variable each time through the loop. This will usually be a noop, but it
costs almost nothing in any case.
you have to reinstall portconf to get make.conf right.
As this does not affect most people, PORTREVISION is not bumped.
The patch in the PR does not work: we can not use variable in substitution.
So, the only way to do is to detect the real path of /usr/ports at
installation time.

- Hooks : A hook is a "callout" which gives Tinderbox the ability to run custom
code at pre-determined times. For example, you can establish a Hook to run just
before a Port is built, after a Build is extracted, before a PortsTree is
updated, etc. Pre-condition hooks can even cause an operation to terminate if
so desired. The new commands to manipulate Hooks are tc listHooks and
tc updateHookCmd.
- OPTIONS processing : If you enable OPTIONS support in Tinderbox, you can have
tc addPort automatically prompt you to configure OPTIONS. Just run tc addPort
with the new -o argument, and you will be prompted with the usual dialog(1)
screen to configure OPTIONS. OPTIONS configuration will happen recursively if
the -r argument is specified, and non-recursively otherwise.
- Failed dependents tracking : If a port fails to build, it will update the
datastore for all of its dependents so that they will be reported as
pseudo-failed. That is, they will have a unique appearance in the www-exp
frontend to indicate that they were not built because a dependency failed.
- Port build duration is tracked and an estimated time to completion is now
shown in the www-exp frontend.
- The /usr/X11R6 symlink is now ignored and not treated as a leftover.
Note: This release comes with a pretty hefty schema change, so one must run
upgrade.sh to add the new schema elements.

============
1. Keep a temporary flag that indicates a port has already been upgraded
during a -r or -f update, and add a -R (retry) option to let the user
skip those ports on subsequent attempts if the first update is interrupted.
2. Change the default behavior to use 'make config-conditional' to
take advantage of the recent enhancements to the OPTIONS functionality.
3. Add a new --force-config flag to use the old behavior of doing
'make config' for every port.
4. Don't delete backup packages until the original (parent) portmaster
process has finished successfully. That way if an update fails, the user
can back out the whole thing.
5. Add -w option to save old shared libraries from an installed port.
6. Add -x option to avoid building ports that match the glob pattern.
7. Split tracking of build and run depends to before and after the
port build respectively.
Enhancements
============
1. If the user interrupts the update, search for errant dialog
processes as well as errant portmaster child processes.
2. Avoid invoking pkg_version in check_for_updates() if the installed
version is already up to date.
3. Call pkg_info for seemingly stale dependencies (-s) so user has
a better idea what he's being asked to delete.
4. Use -DBATCH when calling 'make checksum' in the background so that
ports that have pre-everything dialogs no longer cause runaway dialog
processes.
5. Add BEFOREPORTMK=yes where it can be used to speed things up.
Thanks to Stephen Montgomery-Smith <stephen@math.missouri.edu>
6. Be smarter about not starting read_distinfos in the background if
there is no need to, and be more aggressive in killing it off when
we're done.
7. Make read_distinfos quieter to avoid printing confusing messages
out of synch with the foreground process.
Changes
=======
1. Use the PKGREPOSITORY directory for all packages, create it if it
doesn't already exist.
2. If we fail(), call one of {trap|safe}_exit to do a better job of
cleaning up after ourselves.
3. Make failures of various commands silent when we provide our own
error message.
4. Make killing background processes generally much quieter.
Bug Fixes
=========
1. In check_for_updates(), when FORCE is on, don't skip an up to date
port.
2. Change MAKE_ARGS to PM_MAKE_ARGS to avoid collisions with ports that
use the former already.
3. Fix grammar in a usage() line, add details for --show-work, and
other various improvements.
4. Move the clean target to after (optional) 'make package' to avoid
having to rebuild the port.
5. Only try to update the +CONTENTS file if it exists.
From the Announce:
Tinderbox 2.3.6 has been released to address the change of X11BASE
from /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local. A few other bugfixes are also included.
All users are encouraged to upgrade. When you do, you will have to
manually copy rawenv.dist to rawenv to get the X11BASE change to take
effect.

============
1. --show-work option which will recurse through all-depends-list
and show what dependencies are, and are not installed.
2. Dramatically reduce false positives for per-port distfile cleaning
by creating a list of valid distfiles for all ports. Use this new
method for the --clean-distfiles* options as well.
Bug Fix
=======
Honor DISTDIR if set for --clean-distfiles*
An unpleasant bug was fixed when pkgdb could accidently remove some
dependencies in +CONTENTS files. It's recomented to run pkgdb -L once
after upgrade to fix dependencies list. See UPDATING file.
Reported and tested by: Randy Pratt <bsd-unix_AT_earthlink.net>
============
If a user were to specify /var/db/pkg/foo-1.2/ on the command line,
the old code already failed, but by telling people that it's ok to
do that now, I exposed one more place this needed to be fixed. Take
the opportunity to fix this in a more thorough way.
===========
--clean-distfiles[-all] options to check /usr/ports/distfiles for
stale stuff, and either offer to delete them or delete them all
without prompting.
Bug Fix
=======
Fix brain-o that broke the -o option.
Usability Improvements
======================
1. If a port skeleton is missing, but the pkg db has an +IGNOREME
file, skip the update check, but issue a warning for it.
2. If there is no +IGNOREME file, and no version information is
present, fail with a helpful error message.
3. Clean up any trailing / character on directory names input
at the command line.
4. Allow user to specify just category/portname on the command
line without -p.
5. Work around a missing +REQUIRED_BY file for a -r port.
Minor cleanup
=============
Make case consistent for all usage() items

FreeBSD ports tree, and potentially other software repositories.
Various factors make this task a bit more difficult than it might
initially seem. In particular, the array of weird and wonderful
versioning schemes software vendors manage to come up with.
portscout spawns several child processes and does its version checking
in parallel, while attempting to best-guess strange-looking version
numbers, navigate around unhelpful sites and web servers, and contend
with the CPU-heavy rapidly-expanding FreeBSD ports system.
In addition to all this, it is possible to generate nice HTML reports
and send reminder mails to interested parties.
This should probably be considered beta until v1.0 is released.
============
1. Add -t mode to "thoroughly" recurse dependencies, using the
all-depends-list target instead of the combination of the
build-depends-list and run-depends-list targets. This is useful
when the dependencies of a dependency need to be updated, but
the dependency itself doesn't; and -a mode is impractical for
whatever reason.
2. If pkg_create fails, give the user the option of how to handle
it: fail, or ignore the error.
Improvements
============
1. If we are trying to delete distfiles, but a dist subdir has
gone missing, assume that the files are safely deleted (and
inform the user) rather than error'ing out.
2. Search for BROKEN state before FORBIDDEN state, since if
the former is set, the latter is implied, which made the error
message confusing. While I'm here, trim the error message by
removing some redundant information.
3. After successful install, before the dependencies are updated,
apply the same search pattern whether we're updating an existing
port, or installing from scratch using -p /usr/ports/foo/bar.
Otherwise, existing dependencies for a port that was forcibly
pkg_delete'd won't be updated, nor will the newly installed
port's +REQUIRED_BY file be up to date.
Fix
===
1. The file that contains the checksums is not always spelled
"distinfo," so use the MD5_FILE variable to find it
Cleanups
========
1. Further local'ize variables in functions, and factor in some
variables there were used only once. Add more comments that
describe usage of variables with global scope used in a function.
2. Twiddle white space a little more to help key messages stand
out better, and change wording on one message to (hopefully) make
it more clear.
3. Bump copyright
which first updates the ports tree and then runs an
update and a security checkup of all the installed packages.
Portcheck depends on portsnap, portaudit and pkg_version.

============
1. Attempt to avoid the problem of multiple background checksum
processes stepping on each other trying to download the same sets of
distfiles. The most pathological case for this is trying to portmaster
the xorg port on a clean box with no distfiles downloaded. (Brought to
my attention by George Hartzell <hartzell@alerce.com>.)
2. In cooperation with sem and skv, add three new environment
variables that can potentially be used by port authors, etc.
UPGRADE_TOOL contains the name of the tool being used, in this case
'portmaster'. UPGRADE_PORT is the full string for the port that we are
currently upgrading, and UPGRADE_PORT_VER is just the version string
part of that.
3. Collect a list of any pkg-message files that we "saw" while doing
the installs, and display them all at the end when everything is done
installing. (Old idea of mine, and others, most recently prompted by
kris.)
4. You can now do 'portmaster .' if you are in a port directory you
want to install.
5. If there is no DISTFILE information in the +CONTENTS file after
an installation, add it in the manner worked out on freebsd-ports@,
and documented in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=106483.
If that information is present, use it to delete the last known set
of distfiles with certainty, but continue searching the "old" way
until the DISTFILE stuff has been around for a while.
Major Fixes
===========
1. Change the code that reads the MOVED file to recurse through the
whole file. This fixes the problem of getting an "answer" to a
find_moved_port() call only to find out that the "new" port has itself
been moved, or deleted. This is not a major problem, but when it
happens it's ugly. The fix slows down the function by about 1/2 second
on my (fairly fast) box, but that function isn't called often, and
it's better to be thorough. (Brought to my attention by erwin.)
2. Remove a change from the last version that caused way too many
false positives from the MOVED file when there was no installed
version of the port.
3. When running -e, warn the user if there are dependencies on the
port, and improve the error message both here and in the same code
for -s.
Minor Cleanups
==============
1. Assign TMPDIR early in the script, and export it to be safe. Change
occurrences of this variable to use the short form.
2. Factor some code that had been moved to a function back in line
since we're down to just one caller.
3. Only print the verbose message about keeping the current version
of a distfile if we're not in fact deleting all distfiles.
4. Make distfile listing more efficient by using the ALLFILES target
instead of the combination of DISTFILES and PATCHFILES.
allow removing either .tgz or .tbz temporary pkgs.

2.3.4. This release is both a bug fix and a new feature release. The
changes include:
* A performance bug with tbcleanup that was introduced in 2.3.3 has been
fixed.
* The portbuild environment is now scrubbed to prevent pollution. This
greatly helps in producing the same packages as pointyhat.
* The HOME environment variable is initialized to /root to fix certain
false positive leftover problems.
* If a port fails to build, the Build is reinitialized before the next
port build is started (unless -noclean is passed to tinderbuild) to
prevent pollution.
* All the new failure patterns have been merged from pointyhat. This
will produce much more accurate failure analysis.
* A new feature has been added to support introducing custom OPTIONS
into port builds. Consult the README for more details.
* With the start of Xorg 7.x merge testing, port problems are being
found due to the move to LOCALBASE. Therefore, Tinderbox needs an easy
way to set non-standard LOCALBASE and X11BASE. This has been addressed
in 2.3.4. To make use of this feature you must either copy rawenv.dist
to rawenv, or add LOCALBASE and X11BASE variables to your rawenv file.
For example:
LOCALBASE=/usr/local
X11BASE=/usr/X11R6
When you want to run a build with non-standard LOCALBASE and/or X11BASE
paths, just change rawenv, then start your build.
Note: this release includes a micro dsversion bump, so you must run the
upgrade.sh to ensure your database static data is up-to-date.
* Replace a dead autotools link with a FreeBSD-based link instead [1]
* Replace USE_*_VER with USE_AUTOTOOLS instead [2]
* Check for a valid EXPIRATION_DATE [3]
