pkgsrc changes:
---------------
* Add conditional installation of libobjcxx.so in GNUmakefile for FreeBSD
and adjust PLIST accordingly.
* Fix some typos that have been kindly suggested by pkglint.
This is required to fix the build of gnustep-make on NetBSD 9.0
Changes since previous version in pkgsrc:
Version 1.8
- Added API for tracing, allowing interposition on all message sends matching a
given selector.
- Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements.
Version 1.7
- A new CMake-based build system. This makes all of the configurable options
available via a clean interface. CPack is supported for building RPM and DEB
packages out of the box.
- A new CTest-based test suite, replacing the old ad-hoc tests.
- Build a single libobjc with support for Objective-C++ on platforms where a
C++ ABI library (libcxxrt or libsupc++) is installed as a shared library.
- Added specialised property accessor functions and support for atomic
properties with C++ non-POD types.
- Significant improvements in property introspection and an exhaustive test
suite.
- Improved integration with libdispatch. The runtime will correctly register
work queues with the garbage collector or create autorelease pools around
block invocations.
- A new exception implementation providing better integration with foreign
exceptions (e.g. C++ exceptions). The new ABI is supported by clang 3.3 when
compiling with -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.7 (or higher). The old ABI is still
supported and both can be used within the same program, however code compiled
with the old ABI remains unreliable in the presence of foreign exceptions.
It is strongly recommended that anyone using exceptions with Objective-C++
switches to the new version.
- MIPS64 support in the assembly routines. Currently these are only tested
with the n64 ABI. They are believed to work with n32 and o32, but should be
considered unsupported on these platforms.
- Small algorithmic improvement to the objc_msgSend() implementation, giving
approximately a 10% speedup (architecture-dependent) on message sends.
- Updated optimisation passes to work with LLVM 3.2 and recent LLVM trunk.
Issues found with existing distfiles:

No changes made to these distinfo files.
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.
Changes are too numerous to list here, but essentially this switches
gnustep-objc to libobjc2-1.6.1 in order to provide a modern runtime
and support modern Objective-C 2.0 features such as ARC, class extensions,
the nonfragile ABI, etc.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
