With 37, the build fails with complaints about future and the wrong
version. With 27, it builds. Definitive documentation is scarce, but
signs point to 27 being standard for 2.18, and 3 perhaps working,
perhaps not. Because qgis 2.18 should be updated to 3.x anyway, don't
worry and just set the variables for now.
* QGIS 3.4.x and 3.6.0 cannot handle shape files
from http://nlftp.mlit.go.jp/ksj/ properly, so stay 2.18 release branch
* Enable python option by default
Changelog:
Many bugfixes and improvements.

New Features in QGIS 2.12 ‘Lyon’
This is the next release in our 4-monthly release series. It
gives you access to the new features we have been working on and
represents the ‘cutting edge’ of QGIS development.
QGIS ‘Lyon’ is jam-packed with awesome new features. Special
highlights are support for rule based labelling, rule based
styling of attribute tables, and advanced geometry checker,
support for digitising curve based geometries, better
authentication management and much, much more! QGIS 2.12 also has
many bug fixes and memory leaks addressed. The features provided
in QGIS 2.12 will be included in the next LTR release (slated for
release in 2016), so using this release provides you with an
excellent opportunity to test new features that will make their
way into the next LTR.
One mismatched digest found in geography/libmemphis02:
# package libmemphis02
recorded SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = dbc2f61e49b996dc9ca91df0de9a08eb7adbfa9b
calculated SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = 85993bce12c3616fcf6e7682a70b9605883edec2
No changes were made to the libmemphis02 distinfo file
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.

o RFC 7: Use VSILFILE for VSI*L Functions
o RFC 24: Progressive data support in GDAL
o RFC 28: OGR SQL Generalized Expressions
o RFC 29: OGR Set Ignored Fields
o RFC 30: Unicode Filenames
o RFC 33: GTIFF - Corrected !PixelIsPoint Interpretation
* New utility : gdallocationinfo
Backward compatibility issues:
* MITAB driver: use "," for the OGR Feature Style id: parameter
delimiter, not "." as per the spec. Known impacted application:
MapServer?
* RFC 33 changes the way PixelIsPoint? is handled for GeoTIFF
* GML driver: write valid <gml:MultiGeometry> element instead of
the non-conformant <gml:GeometryCollection>. For backward
compatibility, recognize both syntax for the reading part
