my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them. So let people know
that there's no available support for them until things are back to
normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
to fix them without getting approval).
- On FreeBSD >= 7.2 allocate the new thread with adequate amount of stack
space to run the main ruby code in. This allows to mitigate problem
when too low stack space available for ruby when running with pthreads
enabled.
- Bump portrevision.
The long version. Before this change we used to link ruby against pthreads
uncoditionally on all versions of FreeBSD. This is indispensable in order
to load the threaded shared objects withing ruby. However, this causes a
dramatic decrease in the stack space available as pthreads only allows
up to several megabytes of stack space for the main application threads.
The only solution to this is to create the new thread immediately after
the program start with rigth stack size attributes set. Nonetheless this
scheme won't work for us on FreeBSD version before 7.2 as malloc implementation
in these versions was not threaded fork safe (i.e. this is impossible to
fork from the threaded program and expect malloc/free functions to work).
Thus the only solution for now can be to disable pthreads entirely on
FreeBSD <= 7.2. This won't cause any performance/usability problems for
users as Ruby 1.8 uses green threads, however it may prevent <= 7.2
users to load shared libraries linked agains pthreads.

we were linking the ruby binary against pthreads, and the default
stack size detection method with getrlimit didn't returned right
values in this case. Now, if threads enabled, it also tries to
determine the stack size via pthreads calls and use this value if
it is smaller than what getrlimit returned. Furthermore, the stack
overflow detection routine now works proactively, generating
exception if there're probability the stack will be exhausted by
the time of the next check (ruby performs checks only in each 256th
call of rb_call0). [1]
- Build pthreads-enabled ruby by default. I have not received any
bug reports for this for years, and this verison will work correctly
with threaded libraries. Also, do not link agains pthreads in non-pthread
case (this breaks stack size detection algorithm), and eliminate the
option to disable pthreads (so only power users who know what they're
doing can disable them).
- Build RDoc by default so it is available in the package.
- Bump portrevision.

This updates also borrows some important bugfixes from Ruby CVS that
is not available in patchlevel 160 yet.
- Drop GC patch support. It is broken with the new ruby version and
seem to require the complete rewriting.
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.

threading libraries donesn't employ threading in ruby per se, so it's safe
to do that in non-threaded case.
