- amd64 now enabled (and reportedly works quite well)
- Remove annoying semdel stuff because mono releases its semaphoresa now
Thanks to everyone on the BSD# mailing list for providing feedback as to the
stability of this release on multiple archs and version lines.

- fix CVE-2006-5072:
Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered that the
System.CodeDom.Compiler classes used temporary files in an insecure
way. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. Under some circumstances, a local attacker could also
exploit this to inject arbitrary code into running Mono processes.

- Add USE_NANT to bsd.mono.mk for those ports I have hanging around
which require NANT to build.

Port changes:
- Execute mono-semdel during pre-clean in addition to post-install
- Execute mono-semdel over ${WRKSRC}/runtime as a precaution
- Add G_DEBUG="" to mono-semdel target in bsd.mono.mk to prevent
dropping core files with upcomming glib 2.9 [1]
- add XSP_DOCROOT for when we eventually have an xsp port in the ports
tree (If interested in xsp let me know)
- Remove lingering USE_REINPLACE while I'm here

I didn't use the submitted patch since I want to keep the pkg-message
one screenful. Also removed some extra wordage to make the pkg-message
shorter.

in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Mono Changes:
- Series release: http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.9/
- Patch release: http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.9.1_0/
(No 1.1.9.2 release announcement.)
Port Changes:
- Add pkg-message to explain reasons for common build failures and
note the need to possibly increase the number of semaphores from
the default FreeBSD amounts.
- Add preliminary amd64 support [1,2] which has been disabled for
the time being due to lingering stability issues.
- Force the Mono build to only write within ${WRKDIR} and no longer
write to ~/.wapi which leads to...
- Add bsd.mono.mk which is a common makefile all Mono consumers will
depend on. Currently this file sets the location of the .wapi the
build process will write to. Since Mono does not cleanup the
semaphore created for a .wapi when the last Mono process exits
this file also handles the removal of the semaphore created during
port building so we do not exhaust the machine's semaphore limit.

- Initially I planned to make a large Mono commit right after Gnome 2.12
was merged but the new Gnome has in part caused me to delay merging
updates to Mono and friends.

Mono will using Gamin or FAM by default if it exists in the runtime. If either
doesn't exist then it will use KeventWatcher.cs. Add auto-check on Gamin and
FAM for dependency. Bump the PORTREVISION to have the fix of kqueue.
Rationale:
- KeventWatcher.cs is naive, it does not report changes made to
files within a monitored directory [1]
- KeventWatcher.cs is implemented in C#, it is therefore slower than
Gamin or FAM, which are implemented in C and C++, respectively
[1] this is a bug which should be reported to the vendor
Testing, using the attached WatchTest.cs:
With KeventWatcher.cs:
$ mono WatchTest.exe /somedir &
[1] 89857
$ touch /somedir/foo
OnCreatedEvent /somedir/foo
$ echo foo >> /somedir/foo
<nothing happens>
With Gamin:
$ mono WatchTest.exe /somedir &
[1] 89889
$ touch /somedir/foo
OnCreatedEvent /somedir/foo
$ echo foo >> /somedir/foo
OnChangedEvent /somedir/foo

FreeBSD problems with Mono. As of Mono 1.1.7, Mono has made a tremendous leap
in stability on FreeBSD. Many C# apps now works much better with Mono 1.1.7.

only other one we have for him.
These ports are now available for adoption.
Come back coop, we miss ya ...
503000. Mono 1.0.1 and greater have been broken on earlier OSVERSION
versions. Warning, not all C# apps will not working, because FreeBSD still
need to work more on pthread issues. Few C# apps such as Blam, Muine, Tomboy
and etc work perfect.

KSE signal fixes from 6/12/2004, Mono now works on both 4.X and -CURRENT
(well, all but two benchmarks build and run successfully on both 4.X and
-CURRENT).
Note: you may need to rm -r ~/.wapi before building if you've tried older
versions of Mono.
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
