- correctly override the libtool used by the build.
- patch-ao: rearrange linker arguments so that vm/vm.a pulls in the libraries.
- patch-ap: fix building of npsqueak browser plugin (use cc as compiler. add
.so suffix to plugin)
- for whatever reason the plugins are now installed with .a and .so suffixes.
adjust PLISTs accordingly.
I can now at least start the vm again.
This avoids error messages from "perllink" while deinstalling (or
updateing) a Perl module package.
Fixed based on an analysis provided by Steven Drake on "tech-pkg".

it on NetBSD. I can't explain the behavior on DragonFly, but the use of
the mono linker in the Makefiles matching the source, so the problem is
elsewhere.
I was trying to solve here, but the new libtool doesn't like being
used like this, and it doesn't seem to be needed.
Fixes failure observed in bulk build.
XXX there's still a PLIST problem:
ERROR: The following files are in the PLIST but not in /usr/pkg:
ERROR: /usr/pkg/lib/gauche/0.9/x86_64--netbsd/gauche--threads.so
ERROR: /usr/pkg/share/gauche/0.9/lib/gauche/threads.scm
w/o "-l", yylinelo still gets defined in recent versions, but not
in the version which comes with NetBSD-4.
So require "flex" for the build and always use the "-l" flag, so we'll
hopefully get deterministic behavior.

don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.
Fixes build on Gentoo system, and possibly other Linux systems too that might
have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around. This reverts hints/linux.sh
to look more like it did in 5.10.0.
This makes f2c work. Bump PKGREVISION.
The default CPP points to gcc, which broke f2c because gcc is unable to
preprocess Fortran files as the Fortran compiler is not installed.
Surprisingly, /usr/bin/cpp is just a wrapper around gcc, but it explicitly
passes '-x c' to cpp to force the language to be C and bypass the .F
extension.
Update OK'ed by agc@
Pkgsrc changes:
o Replace perl and parrot interpreter references where we can
(one perl module not available at pre-configure time not done)
o Remove patches which are no longer necessary, since they either
came from upstream or have been adopted there

(older versions 5.* are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.
* Passing :EXECUTABLE 0 to EXT:SAVEINITMEM results in an executable

options to the :INIT-FUNCTION.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html> for details.
* Driver clisp accepts "-b" to print the installation directory.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp.html#opt-printlibdir> for details.
* Add file clisp.m4 so that the packages which use CLISP can check
whether it is properly installed and has the required version.
* POSIX:COPY-FILE now accepts :METHOD :HARDLINK-OR-COPY.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#copy-file> for details.
* New function POSIX:WAIT calls waitpid or wait4.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#wait> for details.
* New function EXT:TRIM-IF removes leading and trailing matches.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/seq-func-ext.html#trim-if> for
details.
* New user command "LocalSymbols" (abbreviated ":ls").
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/repl.html#debugger-main-deb-step>
for details.
* Commands "add" and "create" replace "add-module-set", "add-module-sets" and
"create-module-set" in clisp-link.

* Bug fixes:
+ Better support of :START and :END arguments in NEW-CLX. [ 2159172 ]
+ Fix LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS when *LOAD-PATHS* contains
wild pathnames (introduced in 2.47). [ 2198109 ]
+ Module NEW-CLX now has the XLIB:QUEUE-EVENT function,
implemented by Philippe Brochard <hocwp@fr...>.

+ Avoid a segfault on (EXPT <HUGE> <HUGE>). [ 2807311 ]
+ Fix interaction of finalizers and weak objects. [ 1472478 ]
* ANSI compliance:
+ Implement the ANSI (IGNORE #'FUNCTION) declaration.
ECL 9.12.3:
===========
* Visible changes:
- When converting rationals to floats, ECL now rounds instead of using the
routine in GMP, which truncates.
- LOAD open streams in buffered mode. It does not cause any significant
performance increase except in broken network filesystems that lack
buffering such as some implementations of NFS.
ECL 9.12.2:
===========
* Bugs fixed:
- RANDOM broken on 64-bits architectures.
- The debugger now shows the package names of inspected variables.
- The code in CLX that dealt with interrupts had become outdated.
* Other changes:
- Methods now show up in the debugger with their original name.
- Enlarged the string buffers used for reading and parsing lisp data.
ECL 9.12.1:
===========
* Platform support:
- Support for Itanium.
- Support for Solaris and SunStudio compiler.
- Support for Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 10 beta.
- Support for Cygwin.
* Visible changes:
- New function EXT:ARRAY-RAW-DATA returns a non-adjustable vector of type
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) with the content of an array. The returned array overlaps
with the original, so any change on one will affect the other.
- LOAD works on special files (/dev/null and the like).
- New command line option --version outputs the version number preceded
by the implementation name ("ECL 9.11.1" in this particular release).
- MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND is optimally replaced with a LET form when the number
of variables is 1.
- ECL now accepts Windows' UNC pathnames.
(with-open-file (s #P"//JUANJO-IMAC/Public Folder/index.html"
:direction :input)
(loop for l = (read-line s nil nil)
while l
do (princ l)))
- The default memory limits are increased up to 512Mb for 32 bit images and
4Gb for 64-bits systems.
- The bignums generated by RANDOM did not contain enough random bits.
* Bugs fixed:
- In single-threaded builds, ECL did not properly restore the signal mask
before jumping out of a signal handler.
- Floating point exceptions were sometimes ignored, leading to infinite loops.
- A new configuration flag is added, --with-dffi. This flag allows
deactivating the foreign function interface when the compiler does not
support inline assembly with the GCC syntax and libffi is not available.
- In a multithreaded ECL, when handling a Ctr-C/SIGINT asynchronous interrupt,
the CONTINUE restart was not always available.
- In cygwin, LOAD was unable to load and execute binary files.
- In cygwin, FASL files can not lack a file extension, because dlopen()
then looks for a file ending in ".dll" and fails.
- In cygwin, files that are dlopen'ed must have executable permissions.
- ECL ignored the IGNORABLE declaration.
- The IGNORE/IGNORABLE declarations accept (but ignore) arguments of the
for (FUNCTION function-name).
- SUBTYPEP caused a SIGSEGV when the input was a not finalized class.
- Due to the SUBTYPEP bug, ECL could not compile DEFMETHOD forms whose
arguments referenced non-finalized classes
- When supplied an error value, (EXT:SAFE-EVAL form env &optional err-value)
never returned the output of the evaluated form.
- FIND-SYMBOL accepted string designators instead of just strings, as
mandated by the ANSI specification.
- APPEND copied also the last argument.
- (LOG #C(x x)) now produces a better result when x == 0
- (ATAN #C(0.0 1.0)) no longer produces an infinite recursion.
- Solved a hard to hit bug in DEFCLASS's routine for detecting collisions in
slot names
- LOG and LOG1P did not work properly with NaNs under linux.
- ECL had problems combining #. and #n=/#n# reader macros.
- FDEFINITION and SYMBOL-FUNCTION caused an incorrect error condition when
acting on NIL.
- The optimizer for TYPEP did not work when passed three arguments.
* Clos:
- CLOS:SET-FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE-FUNCTION broke the value if SI:INSTANCE-SIG,
preventing any further access to the instance slots.
- The optimized slot accessors check that the instances are up to date.
- The use of MAKE-INSTANCES-OBSOLETE now forces UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS
to be invoked even if the slots did not change.
- ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION-USING-CLASS does not provide a default method class.
* Sockets:
- The socket option TCP_NODELAY option has been fixed: it was improperly using
the socket interface SOL_SOCKET instead of IPPROTO_TCP (Chun Tian)
- sockopt-linger and (setf sockopt-linger) now work as they should, using
the struct linger argument (M. Mondor)
* ASDF:
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD now accepts also a :PROLOGUE-CODE argument with code to
be executed before all lisp files are run.
- C:BUILDER's argument :PROLOGUE-CODE can now be a lisp form. In the case of
standalone programs the prologue code is always executed after cl_boot() has
been invoked.
- QUIT did not work from standalone executables created with neither ASDF
nor with C:BUILDER.
Patch provided by Peter Bex.
Changes in 4.3.0:
- removed tracing facility and apply-hook (see the "trace" egg
for a replacement for tracing and breakpoints)
- chicken-install(1): renamed `-host-extension' option to `-host'
- added support for a make(1) configuration file ("config.make")
- `chicken-install' now allows specifiying a proxy for retrieving
extensions over HTTP (thanks to Nicolas Pelletier)
- fixed bug in `cond-expand' that incorrectly renamed feature-identifiers
if the form was the product of a syntax expansion (reported by Thomas
Bushnell)
- import-libraries are only generated by the compiler if they don't exist
yet and if the content has actually changed (this simplifies makefile-
rules in some cases)
- it is now possible to pass a config-file to `make(1)' instead of specifying
all build-options as variables on the command-line (see README)
- removed compiler options for "benchmark-mode" and replaced them with a
new optimization level (5) (note that `-O5' does not imply fixnum mode
anymore)
- `hen.el' and `scheme-complete.el' are not bundled with the core system
anymore - `hen.el' is currently not maintained, and `scheme-complete.el'
has its own release cycle; both files are available, see
http://chicken.wiki.br/emacs
- removed meaningless benchmark suite and cleaned up
- added optional argument to `grep' that allows applying a function
to each matched item (contributed by Tony Sidaway)
- added extension-property `import-only', which makes it possible to
create extensions that have no runtime part
- the argument to `seconds->string', `seconds->utc-time' and
`seconds->local-time' is now optional and defaults to the value
of `(current-seconds)' (suggested by Mario Goulart)
- removed read-syntax for `syntax' form
- fixed bug in `get-condition-property'
- fixed bug in windows version of `process-execute'
- TCP timeouts throw exception of kind `timeout' to allow
distinguishing between timeouts and other errors
- removed some internal functions that manipulate environments
- fixed bugs in `standard-extension' (`setup-api' module) and added keyword
arguments for building static extensions and adding custom properties
- when cross-compiling, `chicken-install(1)' doesn't pass `-setup-mode'
(the host tools should not attempt to load target binaries)
- `installation-prefix' in the `setup-api' module was not always correctly
set
- the `-force' option in `chicken-install(1)' overrides the CHICKEN version
check
- disabled e-mail feature in `chicken-bug(1)', since it doesn't work
anyway, in the moment
- fixed bug in `reexport' that made it impossible to reexport core library
definitions
- fix in optimizer that sometimes caused C functions for inlined
procedures to be emitted multiple times (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- documented `define-compiler-syntax' and `let-compiler-syntax'
- printer for hash-tables shows current number of stores items
- when upgrading during installation of a dependency `chicken-install'
shows the version to upgrade to (Thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- Updated scheme-complete (Thanks to Alex Shinn)
- fix for pathnames with whitespace in 'runtests.sh' on Windows
- fix for 'normalize-pathname' with absolute pathname argument
- added 'decompose-directory' to unit files
- fix for 'local-timezone-abbreviation' - wasn't using the current time
so tz-name constant
- deprecated 'make-pathname' separator argument
SunOS, Java and ODBC support by Filip Hajny
and some tests by Matthias Kretschmer.
Changes in R13B03
-----------------
There are mostly error corrections, but also some new functionality.
Some highlights in the R13B03 release are:
- Native Implemented Functions (NIFs) still experimental but very useful.
- The documentation is built in a new way using xsltproc and Apache FOP.
The layout is changed both in HTML and PDF versions. This is the first
step, more changes and improvements will come in the following releases.
Changes between R13A and R13B02 are unknown.

---------------
1.1 Erlang Language and Run-time System
Multi-core and SMP performance improvements
There SMP performance is significantly improved:
- multiple, scheduler specific run queues;
- further optimized message passing;
- CPU-bound scheduler threads.
Unicode support as described in EEP10
New BIF's: atom_to_binary/2, binary_to_atom/2, binary_to_existing_atom/2.
Independent Erlang clusters on the same host
1.2 New Applications
Reltool, release management tool.
WxErlang
1.3 New features in Existing Applications
Common_test
- SSH and SFTP support
- test case groups
Dialyzer
- opaque type declarations;
- UTF segments handling
SSL
- pure Erlang implementation (except crypto routines)
STDLIB
- scanner has been augmented to return white-space, comments
and exact location of tokens.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
Upstream changes:
"5.10.1 is a maintenance release for perl 5.10, incorporating various
minor bugfixes and optimisations."
Nonetheless some incompatibles changes are noteworthy and are related
to:
- flip-flop and defined-or operators behavior in switch statement
- type-based dispatch and overloading of the smart match operator
- 'use feature :5.10*' semantics
- Perl development switched to git
- internal structure of the ext/ perl source directory changed
- removal of the modules Test::Harness::Straps, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes
and ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish
- the Module::CoreList module no longer contains the %:patchlevel hash
- a bugfix related to the handling of the /m modifier and qr resulted
in a change of behaviour between 5.8.x and 5.10.0 (this was missing from
perl 5.10.0 perldelta).
For a complete list of changes see included perl5101delta(1) or
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5101delta.html
Major New Features
- Addition of IDE interface support.
- Changes to pretty-printing and equality. These are now inherited
across module boundaries. Addition of PolyML.addPrettyPrinter
to install a new-style pretty printer.
- Reworked implementation of signatures reducing the memory
requirements when a named signature is used in multiple places.
- Improvements to printing of types and error messages.
Minor Additions and Changes
- Support for out-of-tree builds
- Added finalisation for foreign-function interface (CInterface)
- Removed remaining support for ML90
- Added PolyML.sourceLocation pseudo-function that returns the current
source location, PolyML.raiseWithLocation that raises an exception
with an explicit location and PolyML.exceptionLocation that returns
the location where an exception was raised.
- Added PolyML.Compiler.reportUnreferencedIds switch to enable reporting
of unreferenced identifiers.
- Added breakEx and clearEx to debugger functions.
These enter the debugger when the code raises a given exception.
- Improvement to resonsiveness to pipes especially in Windows.
- Added X86-64 version of Word32 structure. 64-bit machines
do not require 32-bit values to be "boxed".
Bug Fixes
