KDE Gear 22.08.2
Thursday, 13 October 2022
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations, including:
* ark: Fix incompatibility with original 7-Zip (Commit, fixes bug
#456797)
* kdeconnect: Prevent a crash if there’s no audio devices (Commit,
fixes bug #454917)
* kio-extras: Compatibility with Samba >= 4.16 (Commit, fixes bug
#453090)
Announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/gear/22.08.2/
The CMake configuration for Marble depends on Astro (which is another
software component installed by Marble itself). Previously this was
not explicitly checked-for. With CMake 3.24, it is: and consumers
fail because of this.
Patch submitted upstream.
Bump affected consumers graphics/kgeotag and textproc/kreport.

Most USES use a colon for build/run(/test) suffixes. Change kde.mk,
qt.mk and pyqt.mk to do the same, and update all ports using that.

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.
There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.
The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Fix link definitions with newer CMake versions
LINK_PUBLIC and LINK_PRIVATE have been deprecated for many years, and
SailfishOS has a newer enough CMake version now. Marble requires CMake
3.10 anyway.
Without this change, cmake 3.24.0 won't find the imported targets when
Marble is used as a library.

In da36e63724 a dependency on qt5-declarative was made
available in kf5-kconfig. This leads to the generation of
further desktop files in some of the Gear ports.
Qt testlib was implicitly a dependency for the build (tests are
mandatory), not listed in the port. Dropping testlib from quazip
changed the dependency tree.
Not bumping PORTREVISION, because the after the previous bump
it couldn't have built.
PR: 260298
Reported by: Eric Camachat
Release notes are here:
https://github.com/stachenov/quazip/releases/tag/v1.2
There are a handful of internal changes that don't affect us
(allowing QtZip, for instance) or don't show up in our use of
quazip (-lz in pkgconfig file). There's one relevant change
to close() that **might** affect consumers, but then I'd expect
bug reports from the consumers about failures on load/save.
While here, move the libraries needed only for testing to _build.
Bumping PORTREVISION of consumers.

For ports optionally dependending on Python 2.7, just mark those options
as expired. Remove konquerer from the x11/kde-baseapps metaport and bump
its PORTREVISION.

- astro/libkgeomap has been removed as there are no consumers left
- deskutils/kdepim-apps-libs has been reintegrated into other ports
There are a handful of new ports available:
- astro/kosmindoormap: Library and QML component for rendering multi-level OSM indoor maps
- deskutils/itinerary: KDE Itinerary is a digital travel assistant
- devel/kpublictransport: Access realtime public transport data
- graphics/kontrast: Color contrast checker
- textproc/markdownpart: KPart for rendering Markdown content
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.

From the changelog:
* Support for UTF-8 in file names and comments (Denis Zavorotnyy)
* get/setOsCode(), get/setDefaultOsCode()
* Fixed Z_STREAM_END handling in QuaZioDevic
a symbol matches multiple clauses the last one takes precedence. If the
catch-all is last it captures everything. In the case of Qt5 libraries
this caused all symbols to have a Qt_5 label while some should have
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API. This only affects lld because GNU ld always gives the
catch-all lowest priority.
Older versions of Qt5Webengine exported some memory allocation symbols from
the bundled Chromium. Version 5.9 stopped exporting these [1] but the
symbols were kept as weak wrappers for the standard allocation functions to
maintain binary compatibility. [2][3] The problem is that the call to the
standard function in these weak wrappers is only resolved to the standard
function if there's a call to this standard function in other parts of
Qt5Webengine, because only then is there a non-weak symbol that takes
precedence over the weak one. If there's no such non-weak symbol the call
in the weak wrapper resolves to the weak wrapper itself creating an infinite
call loop that overflows the stack and causes a crash. Some of the
allocation functions are variants of C++ new and delete and it probably
depends on the compiler whether these variants are used in other parts of
Qt5Webengine.
Remove the weak wrappers (make them Linux specific). This isn't binary
compatible but we are already breaking that with the changes to the symbol
versions.

dealing with optional dependencies

Ports that build out of source now simply can use "USES=cmake"
instead of "USES=cmake:outsource". Ports that fail to build
out of source now need to specify "USES=cmake:insource".
I tried to only set insource where explictely needed.

- There was no obvious reason to split these ports, and it makes
porting simpler; the set of ports using either mostly coincided.
