- Add a dependency to the native xorg-libraries when the LINUX option is
enabled (it causes USE_XLIB to depend on Linux libraries instead of the
native ones). This should aid in updating process.

Fix the pkg-plist for that [1]
- Remove the USE_REINPLACE since it is no longer needed [1]
Please note that 4.X users will probably suffer from this as a side
effect, however, taking them into account will further complicate the
Makefile logic, which is already pretty hard to follow. Since I warned
4.X users about removing support for that old release of FreeBSD (and
since I'd be really suprised to find out there's someone still using
4.X as their desktop) more than 8 months ago, plus we're not obliged to
support ports on 4.X anymore, I think we can live with it.
Once again, I'm encouraging people using this port use it with modern
FreeBSD version and modern graphics card.

nVidia, 1.0-8178. This release highlights:
- Improved stability with the Composite X extension
- Fixed a corruption bug with RenderAccel and the Composite X
extension when using wide desktops
- Fixed a problem validating HDTV modes on GeForce 6200
- Fixed detection of certain older TV encoders
- Fixed GeForce 7800 GTX clocking problem that affected 3D performance
- Added support for new GPUs such as the GeForce 6100 and GeForce 6150
- Added support for Stereo Digital Flat Panels such as the SeeReal and
Sharp3D DFPs
- Added support for static Rotation; see the "Rotate" X config option in
the README
GTX clocking problem that affected 3D performance.
I've decided not to rename patches to ease on CVS repo's life. This is
bug-fix release, and I hope nVidia will incorporate our patches into next
"major" release.
version of NVidia driver release for the sake of supporting some "legacy"
GPUs. Note that this options is unsupported, and presumably would only be
needed for a few unlucky souls out there.

- Fixed assignment of PORTREVISION. It needs to be set before including
bsd.port.pre.mk [1]
- Disabled exit upon failure to kldunload and kldload of NVidia driver
for 7667 driver. This would break an upgrade of an earlier install [1]
- Fix PREFIX expansion in pkg-message

- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary 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 overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
- 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. [1]
- Readd USE_LINUX knobs into several ports and make several uses of a
conditional dependency ("USE_LINUX?=") into an unconditional one
("USE_LINUX=") which where removed/changed by Trevor to allow the use of
alternative linux_base ports. While this is a nice goal, the implementation
resulted in missing dependencies. The OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT knob
in this commit is supposed to fix the problem while keeping the feature.
Basicaly this includes a backout of Trevor's commit, to prevent confusion
I mention it here explicitely.
- Use the correct prefix (X11- instead of LOCAL- or LINUX-) for some ports.
Chase dependencies for this.
- Changes to make linux_devtools installable on amd64, remove some stray
device nodes (they don't work on recent OS versions and aren't really
needed).
- Make linux_base-8 PREFIX clean and remove some stray device nodes.
Additionally tell a little bit more about how to setup NIS/YP [2].
- Update the PGSQL dependency in the linux-opengroupware port to a recent
version (the old one isn't available anymore), I don't know if this
works (at least it isn't more broken than before).
- Use PREFIX/usr/share/doc instead of PREFIX/usr/doc in the divx4linux
ports, the former path exists already and gets populated by other
packages too (PREFIX=LINUXPREFIX!).
- Fix some obvious (non-linuxolator) bugs in some linux ports while being
there.
- Bump PORTREVISION where neccesary.

Release Highlights:
* Supports FreeBSD 5-STABLE (5.3-RELEASE or later). For FreeBSD 4.x
and 5.2.1 users we stick to previous version (6113), since 7174 does
not play nicely with legacy FreeBSD releases
* Added support for the latest NVIDIA GPUs, including the GeForce 6600
and 6200 with TurboCache(TM)
* Added support for the KSE threading libraries

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

* Support for the latest NVIDIA GPUs including GeForce 6800 Series
* Improved interaction with -CURRENT's new threading libraries.
It also brings some more general fixes to the port:
* Utilizes PORTDOCS
* New knobs added
* pkg-plist fixed
Special note for -CURRENT users: nVidia driver now depends
on mem.ko kernel module.

aware that nVidia doesn't officially supports -CURRENT though.
Older versions of -CURRENT (ie. __FreeBSD_version < 500105) are
not supported. 5.0-RELEASE is thus unsupported as well.
