This is the latest Calligra release, and the 2.9 series will be the last
KDE4-based release series.
As usual, huge thanks to Tobias Berner <tcberner@gmail.com> for working on this
in kde@'s area51 experimental repository (including previous Calligra releases
between 2.7.5 and 2.9.10).
Notable changes from a packaging perspective:
- Several dependencies have been updated to use more recent ports versions.
- Old translations not shipped by the current Calligra release have been
removed.
- The dependency on sysutils/nepomuk-core has been dropped, following what
upstream has done.
- The dependency on Qt3-compatibility Qt4 ports has been dropped, following
upstream.
- CONFLICTS with ancient ports have been removed.
- Support for G'MIC (GREYC's Magic for Image Computing), introduced after
2.7.5, is disabled by default, as building the code with clang requires
insane (>24GB) amounts of memory. We reported this bug to the LLVM developers
(bug 22199) almost a year ago, but there has been no activity upstream.
- Stopped depending on graphics/pstoedit in an unorthodox way: just follow what
every major Linux distribution does and unconditionally depend on it. I could
not figure out why we were originally depending on the port if it was already
installed.
- Stop playing tricks with PACKAGE_BUILDING: we do not package Vc
(https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc) so it does not make sense to turn on support
for it when building packages. Not only that, but the CMake option name was
wrong (it should be PACKAGERS_BUILD, not WITH_PACKAGERS_BUILD).
GCC 4.2 in FreeBSD 8.X/9.X base is now too old to compile OpenEXR, so
GCC-based systems will upgrade to the default ports compiler (GCC 4.7
currently.)
Add two patches to OpenEXR to permit building it in a live system with
the older OpenEXR version installed. Bug report filed to upstream Github
at https://github.com/openexr/openexr/issues/130
Couple OpenEXR more tightly to ilmbase and require its exact .so
version.
Add UPDATING note, and bump PORTREVISION of all dependent ports.
Proto-STAGE hugin-devel, and mark it IGNORE because hugin is newer.
Approved by: portmgr (implicit for bumping PORTREVISION on unstaged ports)
- Require a new compiler to build Calligra.
- Make GTL really an option in Calligra.
- STAGEify.
- Use OPTIONS helpers.
- Set NO_ARCH for translation ports.
- Add translation port for Intelingua.
Calligra 2.7 release notes:
http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-2-7-released
- Remove header from Makefiles.
This release contains a number of important bug fixes to 2.5.0 and we
recommend everybody to update. Release notes can be found in the
official announcement:
http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-2-5-1-released
into separate ports. The OPTIONS will remain as of yet and trigger dependencies
now, for easy transition.
Update KOffice to version 1.3.2.
Add patches to fix a number of issues, including:
- fix kxkb on Xorg
- fix kdemultimedia WITH_MPEGLIB (now mpeglib_artsplug) compilation on gcc 3.4.2
with optimizations greater than -O
Add security related patches and entries to portaudit.txt.
Important changes:
==================
- Kmail and knode have been moved from kdenetwork to kdepim. This
means you will have to install kdepim if you want to continue using
kmail or knode. This is to ease integration with korganizer, in
the new 'Kontact' application.
- The arabic translations for KDE and KOffice have been moved from
misc to the arabic category.
- There is a new module called kdeaccessibility in the accessibility
category. It contains a few utilities for disabled users like a
magnification lens and a text-to-speech frontend.
- In KDM, you need to select the 'CUSTOM' session profile in order
to have your .xsession executed. This is particularly important if
you're using the aegypten tools
(http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/aegypten-kmail.php).
- We have started making more parts of the ports optional. In kdepim,
both Kandy and KPilot can be turned off with ports-knobs. This
process will continue in the 3.2 series.
