Take over maintainership temporarily upon request from the software's
author(s), who were unable to reach the previous maintainer.
In both:
- use explict --mandir=${PREFIX}/man to avoid man-pages getting
into ${PREFIX}/shared/man incorrectly
- deal with the NOPORTDOCS situation by simply not-extracting
the extra documentation from the distribution tarball
- parallelize the build to scale with the number of CPUs
In vips:
- move the (giant) list of man-pages into a separate Makefile.man
- turn the pages, which contain only `.so other-page', into
MANLINKS (specified in Makefile.man)
- provide a "maintainance target" to regenerate the Makefile.man
during the next upgrade
- do not install the HTML-ized versions of man-pages
- create OPTIONS for use of devel/liboil and graphics/ImageMagick
(OPTION to use PYTHON awaits portmgr's decision/action)
In nip2:
- do install the HTML pages regardless of NOPORTDOCS -- these
are accessible to the user through the application GUI
- arrange for update-mime-database and update-desktop-database
to be run upon install (@exec) and uninstall (@unexec)
- LIB_DEPEND on math/gsl, which nip2 can use for extra functionality
These ports are in need of a dedicated maintainer.

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:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
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.
