CHANGES from 1.7.3 to 1.8
1. Added GDBM_CENTFREE functionality and option.
2. Added GDBM_COALESCEBLKS functionality and option.
3. Added GDBM_NOLOCK flag.
4. Made ``fast'' mode the default, making GDBM_FAST obsolete, and adding
the GDBM_SYNC flag and GDBM_SYNCMODE option.
5. Switched to building with libtool.
[This last make LT_CONFIG_OVERRIDE necessary.]
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
explicitly in the commands before ${MAKEFILE}; modify package
Makefiles to conform to this rationalisation. This was used
inconsistently in many packages, some including it, some not.
