- Convert NVVERSION to brave new order (makes them ugly, I know)
- Fix the emulation of semaphores implemented in `nvidia_os.c'. The problem
with nVidia's code was that it tries to use a spin mutex with a condition
variable, which is explicitely disallowed [1]
- Remove X.org-related path hacks since nVidia handles it correctly now
- Fix symlinks when installing from package (plist change)
- Stop saying FILESDIR when PATCHDIR was meant
- Simplify some Makefile logic: remove always-true check

- Update the driver to the latest version, 100.14.11
- Update legacy driver versions to 1.0-7185 and 1.0-9639
- Prevent the port from messing with system configuration files (e.g.
/boot/loader.conf) and doing automatic module loading/unloading. This
functionality would be lost in package anyway, and might cause undesired
side effects [*]
- Register proper @exec/@unexec for ldconfig(8) calls for Linux libraries
- Kill NVidia's afterinstall banner, our pkg-message tells the same but is
more detailed and accurate
- Require X server being installed
- INSTALLS_SHLIB -> USE_LDCONFIG, seems to be OK nowadays
- Respect NOPORTDOCS user setting
- Throw in couple of comments + other minor tweaks
100.14.11 Release Hightlights:
- GeForce 7050 PV/NVidia nForce 630a
- GeForce 7025/NVidia nForce 630a
- Fixed console restore problems in several different configurations, e.g.
VESA console, notebook LCD displays
- Improved interaction with ATi RS480/482 based mainboards
- Improved support for House Sync with G-Sync II
- Improved NVidia X driver interaction with ACPI daemon
Requested by: several [*]
- Simplify SHLIB_VERSION handling, it's not that bad after all
- Better and cleaner PORTDOCS handling, less hacks in Makefile
- Fix non-root installation (use pre-su-install)
- Miscellaneous Makefile nits
previously they were somewhat misleading (logic remains the same) [1]
- Take xorg-server-snap into account, previously having it installed
would break pkg-list logic (libglx.so wasn't backed up/restored
properly) [2]
- Utilize DOCSDIR macro in pkg-message.in
- Drop currently noop USE_X_PREFIX

- NVVERSION is no longer user settable. nVidia changed their versioning
scheme, which made my life a bit harder. Since this is master port and
cares about legacy version slaves as well, derive NVVERSION from DIST-
VERSION as doing so required less intrusive changes. Update the comment
accordingly. UPDATING note will be committed separately
- Retire OSVERSION hack since it's no longer needed. PORTREVISION are now
set in all three nvidia-driver ports independently. Previously it was
not really safe because NVVERSION was user settable variable
- Introduce new variable, SHLIB_VERSION, and use it in PLIST_SUB, because
it's not always equal to NVVERSION these days
- Mute MKDIR along the way
For slave ports:
- Rename port directory names to reflect future reality: their versions
going to bump as well. No repo copy since there's no history to preserve
- Drop support for WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT knob, instead allow to specify
needed NVVERSION (move towards being master port) [*]

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.

- 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.

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
