* 0 address behaves correctly in single-file (-i and -s) mode.
* documentation improvements.
* tested with many hosts and compilers.
* updated regex matcher from upstream, with many bugfixes and speedups.
* the `N' command's feature that is detailed in the BUGS file was disabled
by the first change below in sed 4.0.8. The behavior has now been
restored, and is only enabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT behavior is not
requested.
Changes since 4.07:
* fix `sed n' printing the last line twice.
* fix incorrect error message for invalid character classes.
* fix segmentation violation with repeated empty subexpressions.
* fix incorrect parsing of ^ after escaped (.
* more comprehensive test suite (and with many expected failures...)
Please note that since NetBSD's sed is available in a portable
version in pkgsrc as textproc/nbsed, and in bootstrap-pkgsrc I do
not consider this package as being low in the dependencies food-chain
anymore. This is especially true for platforms other than NetBSD.
So let me explicitly add dependencies on libiconv and gettext-lib packages
(if needed of course).
sed, or perhaps GNU sed.
packges should define USE_GNU_SED if GNU sed is really required,
otherwise we provide ${SED} in the buildlink/bin dir, unless the sed
provided on a given platform is known to be severely broken.
[one could argue Solaris' xpg4 sed falls in the "broken" category, but
for almost all intents and purposes, it is acceptable - define
USE_GNU_SED if a package still fails.]
XXX IRIX is currently listed in _INCOMPAT_SED - this should be removed
if sed on IRIX is known to be good.
changes since 3.02:
4.0.7
Changes: This version fixes some rare infinite loops and wrong results
that occurred when the s command had a numeric option and the regular
expression could match the empty string.
4.0.6
Changes: This release improves portability a lot, and adds a
configure-time switch to choose between the included regex matcher and
the system matcher (on glibc systems only).
4.0.5
Changes: This release fixes a few portability bugs and improves the
quality of the documentation. "a", "i", "l", "L", and "=" now accept
address ranges.
4.0.3
Changes: A packaging problem with two missing translation catalogs was
fixed.
4.0.2
Changes: This release makes sed able to bootstrap itself on operating
systems that cannot run the configure script.
4.0.1
Changes: This release includes translations for over 20 languages, and
cleans up the binary and documentation files from references to
super-sed.
4.0
Changes: This release has been merged with super-sed and supports all
of its features, except for Perl regular expressions. This includes
in-place editing, new sed commands, better documentation, and support
for changing the case of the characters with the `s' command. The
performance and correctness of the regular expression matcher have
also been improved.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
Makefiles during the build process by touching various auto{conf,make}
source files to make them up-to-date. Packages that require regenerating
the configure script and Makefile.in files should make the appropriate
calls to auto{conf,make} in a pre-configure target. This allows the
various targets listed in ${_CONFIG_PREREQ} to modify the generated files
without triggering the GNU auto* tools and having the modifications be
overwritten.
(manually regenerated from patched configure.in) is added, AUTOMAKE_OVERRIDE
is also defined hence custom pre-configure target is removed.
To avoid useless makeinfo run sed.info, version.texi and stamp-vti are added
to AUTOMAKE_PATTERNS (this also fix a hidden and forgotten build dependency on
../../devel/gtexinfo).
While here my email address as maintainer is updated.
