KDE Gear 23.04.1
Thursday, 11 May 2023
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneogqusly as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations,
including:
* kdenlive: Fix corrupted project files on opening

Improve readability by replacing the AT&T-style expansions with some
explicit logic. This also avoids incompatibility with very old make
versions where % in these expansions also matches empty strings.

Currently "USE_PYTHON=autoplist pep517" generates the PLIST as follows:
- Extract the list of installed files from the RECORD file to the intermediate
PLIST (_PYTHONPKGLIST)
- Manipulate the intermediate PLIST
- Add list of pycache files to the intermediate PLIST
When the RECORD file contains foo.pyc entry, that file will be counted twice in
the PLIST at the end. It will cause check-plist error. This fix removes *.pyc
entries while manipulating the intermediate PLIST to ensure all pycache files
are only counted once.
Strip features from CPUTYPE set by make.conf as these are not supported

Sync with ONLY_FOR_ARCHS in lang/rust. The default is optimized for runtime.
qemu-riscv64-static is broken on FreeBSD >= 13.1, so the package cluster
is irrelevant since 2022-09-03.
Qt-dist ports that are a module need to install their header
to qt-config.h. This accidentally happens to qt5-qmake as well.
This is only visible when *installing* qt5-qmake on an otherwise
fresh system with no other Qt packages. If you install any other
Qt packages, then the qt-config header is there for the
post-install script to work on (though it doesn't do anything
for qt5-qmake). In a clean system, the script fails.

Handle fallback for version and flavor separately, also add several

This fixes creating broken *_DEPENDS for ports using it without
arguments when a -nox11 version is requested in DEFAULT_VERSIONS like
e.g. this resulting from "imagemagick=7-nox11":

Module::Build::Tiny 0.042+ does not generate empty manpages. Therefore, we
update version requirement of BUILD_DEPENDS in order to avoid PLIST issues
(leftovers when using old p5-Module-Build-Tiny).
It's unused since 88b0ae2bb9 ("xorg: upgrade to 21.1.4") and upstream
announced that they plan to retire this package soon.

- There are multiple ports which uses the macro USE_TEX=texmf that is
downloading a big DISTFILE. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to
test all the consumers in runtime. So in the following ports I have
removed USE_TEX=texmf so that someone who uses those can report the
runtime files those are missing. If possible(based on LICENSE
permission) I will try to create a smaller distfile out of the
texlive-20230313-texmf and change dependency accordingly otherwise
will reinstate USE_TEX=texmf. The list of ports that are affected are
following:
* arabic/arabtex

jdk version 8(java version string 1.8). This is prone to error as it
looks similar and is only seperated by a '.'. Remove using
JAVA_VERSION with dotted fomat of java version string and update all

While currently only 5.10 actually works, prepare for the bright
future of multiple supported versions of the Mono/.NET stack and
whack nearby whitespace bugs.
Should start allowing PEP-517 packages to build and unbreaking
circular dependencies, however short a shelf life, due to gpep517's
almost nonexistant Python dependency tree.
(PyPA build will continue as the preferred build frontend otherwise,
due to official stewardship, but does not preclude a DEFAULT_VERSIONS
hook in the future)
The post-release version is normalized to .postX in PEP440. However, it will be
converted to .pX in FreeBSD which means an older version.

If the original release is already in the tree, rather than bumping PORTEPOCH,
you could bump PORTREVISION and add .postX to DISTVERSIONSUFFIX.
This fix allows the port to build in this situation.

Refresh mirror list and remove dead mirrors or unofficial ones
While at it reduce the list to a reasonable amount of mirrors
Reference:
https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/
The python PEP440 version numbering standard is _mostly_ compatible
with FreeBSD port versioning rules. Exceptions exist, where the
PORTVERSION can be derived from the upstream DISTVERSION
automatically. For example:
PEP440 DISTVERSION: FreeBSD PORTVERSION:
2.3.post1 2.3.p1
Now, this interacts badly with PEP517 build setups. hatchling will
enforce PEP440 complicance, so it isn't practical to modify the ported
code to use exactly the FreeBSD version.
Instead, simply referring to DISTVERSION rather than PORTVERSION will
allow the build process to complete smoothly.

data_files was not initially supported in the framework under the
guise that PyPA through setuptools deprecated the practice. However,
other build backends like flit still support (and advertise as a
"newer" feature) data_files, and certain packages continue to install
operating system-specific files like man pages using Python's
packaging system.
This expands RECORD parsing to account for any data_files beyond
entry_points installed to bin/. It is limited to certain directories
in hier(7) listed under /usr/local to prevent wheels from installing
files to arbitrary locations.

Technical details: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/CompiledPackages
Fixes reports of Python port builds as root failing on filesystem
violations due to bytecode file writes where the port did not include
them in the package.
For those ports/packages that currently package bytecode, some
checksum mismatches on those files may occur. This is harmless and
will be rectified, in large as part of a USE_PYTHON=distutils
overhaul to reduce churn.
While here, implement a long-standing todo item of letting lang/python
ports use python.mk bits. Not only does this obviate duplicate
variables in each Makefile, but SUB_LIST (also added) is used for
these triggers.

KDE: Update KDE Plasma Desktop to 5.26.5
Despite installer's default behaviour to compile and install bytecode,
we are not doing so going forward at stage/package time. [0] During
initial development and qualification of PEP-517 framework support,
compiling and installing bytecode at stage/package time was considered,
but was found problematic, fragile and ultimately unreliable, both
currently and historically (with USE_PYTHON=distutils), due to our
fixed plist requirement. While the living binary distribution format
(wheel) specification [1] says to compile bytecode, that is in the
pure Python package management context (pip, etc); nuance always
exists when interacting with "system" package management.
Additionally, "bytecode is an implementation detail of the CPython
interpreter. No guarantees are made that bytecode will not be added,
removed, or changed between versions of Python," thus "should not
be considered to work across Python VMs or Python releases." [2]
This is important to ensuring correctness for those ports specifying
NO_ARCH.
Instead of compiling and installing bytecode at stage/package time,
there is a WIP, review D34739, that compiles and installs bytecode

The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
- www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
- It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
- www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
- www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.
The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
- Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
- Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/noe18).
- Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
- Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS).
- Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
- Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.
After this commit:
- All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}
- www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version (e.g. www/node18)
- www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version (e.g. www/npm-node18)
- www/yarn is a meta port which depends on the default version (e.g. www/yarn-node18)
- Bump PORTREVISION of dependent ports for dependency change (from www/node16 to www/node18)

As with the Qt 5 version, Qt Speech provides application developers with
a QObject subclass, QTextToSpeech, that provides an interface to the
platform's speech synthesizer engine; and a value type QVoice that
encapsulates voice characteristics. With those classes, applications can
make themselves more accessible to users, and go beyond the
screen-reader functionality of assistive technologies. Using non-visual
channels to inform users about changes or events can be very useful in
hands-free situations, such as turn-by-turn navigation systems.
Content-focused applications like ebook readers could benefit from
text-to-speech synthesis without depending on assistive technology.
apache22 and apache25 had been removed a long time ago however the
apache.mk file has never been refactored and is out of sync from the
file Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk. These changes refactors the removals of
the older versions. In addition:
- Move some keywords like USE_APACHE, USE_APACHE_BUILD, USE_APACHE_RUN
from SANITY_DEPRECATED to SANITY_UNSUPPORTED
- Remove apache versions from ports Makefiles as currently there is only
one available version in the tree. However the version checks are
still valid and should work flawlessly whenever a new version is
added. For example USES=apache:2.2+ are simply replaced with
USES=apache. As currently there are no other versions available for
test this could not be checked on it's own ground.
- Update FOO_USE=APACHE=yes to FOO_USES=apache
- Remove trailing whitespaces

The Qt WebEngine module provides a web browser engine that makes it easy
to embed content from the World Wide Web into your Qt application on
platforms that do not have a native web engine.
Qt WebEngine provides C++ classes and QML types for rendering HTML,
XHTML, and SVG documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
scripted with JavaScript. HTML documents can be made fully editable by
the user through the use of the contenteditable attribute on HTML
elements.
Most of the patches were taken from Chromium 102.0.5005.115
(6fbdece63f) and a small portion also from Chromium 105.0.5195.102
(96b9a69e70) , which has been required since Qt 6.4.1.
In contrast to www/qt5-webengine, some things have changed in the build
process:
* Python 3.x is used
* CMake maintains the whole build process at the top.
* devel/binutils is no longer required.
At last but not least: Many thanks to madpilot for additional tests and
hints and to tcberner for the moral support during the last mile!

The living binary distribution format specification derived from
PEP-427 [0] prescribes that:
In distribution names, any run of -_. characters (HYPHEN-MINUS,
LOW LINE and FULL STOP) should be replaced with _ (LOW LINE), and
uppercase characters should be replaced with corresponding lowercase
ones. This is equivalent to PEP 503 normalisation followed by
replacing - with _. Tools consuming wheels must be prepared to
accept . (FULL STOP) and uppercase letters, however, as these
were allowed by an earlier version of this specification.
This fixes staging for packages built under PEP-517 with dashes
(HYPHEN-MINUS) in their names.

At this point most ports that employ USE_GCC have the USE_GCC=yes
form, some have USE_GCC=X (where X is an older version of GCC than
the current default), and none is left with USE_GCC=X+.
To reduce complexity and since we are actively tracking upstream GCC
with our default version, remove support for the USE_GCC=X+ form.

- Almost all of the USE_TEX features remains unchanged
- Some consumers had the same variables defined both in the mk
infrastructure and also in the ports which have been removed from the

To build such projects a port must add the repository to MASTER_SITES under
some group and then use this group in USE_CABAL.
Cabal2Tuple (ports-mgmt/hs-cabal2tuple) supports this feature starting with
version 2.0. Running `make make-use-cabal` will automatically pass necessary
flags to it.
This knob allows pulling in a revised .cabal file for a Haskell package
being ported. This allows us to drop local patches that were serving the
same purpose.
This change removes duplicated entries from MASTER_SITES and DISTFILES
variables. Now the MASTER_SITES variable will contain single Hackage URL without
any group for the simplest case and with :_cabal_mk_hackage group in nodefault
case.
This change opens a path to using non-Hackage Cabal repositories
(needed for Cardano) and pulling in .cabal revisions without using patches.
Unfortunately, this change results in a large churn in Haskell ports distinfos.
To make this churn less useless, refresh all Haskell dependencies in all ports.
Instead of moving the original project file into a temporary location,
employ cabal.project.local for Ports-related adjustments.
This implements an idea that upstream cabal.project files shouldn't be touched
by Ports framework. If needed they can be patched by the port maintainer directly.
Adapt existing Haskell ports to this change.
