It comes from upstream Bug#562310:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562310
Availability detection of `gtkdoc-rebase' command is depend on the behaviour
of `which' command, if `which gtkdoc-rebase' return false, do nothing.
It is known as not works as expected on Darwin and Solaris, then failed in
unwanted gtkdoc-rebase execution, and abort.
It is already fixed in upstream gtk-doc repository, but not released yet(1.12?).
So, some packages may contain and be using un-fixed gtk-doc.* files.
For easy to determine whether it is fixed or not, check gtk-doc.make contains
following commit (not using 'which gtkdoc-rebase', but $(GTKDOC_REBASE) macro):
http://git.gnome.org./cgit/gtk-doc/commit/?id=ef5f56ca5fd4a077e6f7a374e8dd333b7a6a8d42
Upstream bug report was closed, patch is supposedly not necessary
any longer.
If this is not the case, re-open
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133344
No PKGREVISION bump since it was a build fix.
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.

Bug 554790 - g_convert() misbehaves with winiconv versions
* glib/win_iconv.c (kernel_mbtowc): If converting from ASCII,
explicitly check for and reject 8bit chars. MultiByteToWideChar()
doesn't, at least not on XP.
2008-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

Don't shadow err. Oops!
2008-10-06 Christophe Fergeau <teuf@gnome.org>
Bug 555224 – Improve g_format_size_for_display doc
* glib/gfileutils.c: change g_format_size_for_display API doc to
explicitly say that the returned string has to be freed. Change
spelling of "newly allocated" to "newly-allocated" in g_file_read_link
API doc to be more consistent with what is done in that file.
2008-10-01 David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
* README.in: Add "Notes about glib 2.20" section detailing the
ramifications of the patch from bug #528670.
2008-09-30 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
Bug 554092 – glib doesn't return G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT et al on OS X

as _GNU_SOURCE has unintended side effects when compiling against
newest mingw headers.
2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
Bug 553447 – g_assert_no_error()
* glib/gtestutils.h (g_assert_no_error, g_assert_error): Macros to
assert that a GError is not set, or else is set to a particular
error.
* glib/gtestutils.c (g_assertion_message_error): utility for
those macros
* glib/tests/keyfile.c:
* tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
* tests/bookmarkfile-test.c:
* tests/convert-test.c:
* tests/file-test.c: Use g_assert_error/g_assert_no_error
2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
* glib/gthreadpool.c (wakeup_thread_marker): make this a "const
gpointer" rather than a gconstpointer to avoid warnings later
* glib/pcre/pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c:
* glib/pcre/pcre_valid_utf8.c: #include "config.h"
* glib/tests/printf.c (test_d): fool gcc into not warning about
some printf format strings that we know are dubious
2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Bug 553857 – gbacktrace.h requires signal.h
* glib/gbacktrace.h: Include signal.h for raise().
Pointed out by Sebastien Bacher

* glib/giochannel.c: Move more docs inline, and improve them
on the way.
2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
Bug 553820 - gpoll.c: undeclared identifier
* glib/gmain.c
* glib/gpoll.c: Make the g_poll() function non-static also on
Windows. Prefix an underscore to the g_main_poll_debug variable
and make it non-static in gmain.c so that it can be used in
gpoll.c. Add back missing variable declaration.
2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes) (do_spawn_directly):
Just ignore the child_setup function, never call it. The is no
situation in which it could be useful on Windows. Do print a
warning, like before.
* glib/gspawn.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Corresponding change
in documentation.
2008-09-24 Sven Herzberg <sven@imendio.com>
Be a little more explcit in the docs. Includes Owen's requested
changes.
* glib/gmain.c: improved documentation for g_source_attach() and
g_source_destroy()
2008-09-23 Michael Natterer <mitch@imendio.com>
* glib/glib.h: #include <glib/gpoll.h>
* glib/gpoll.h: #error out if gpoll.h is included directly.
* glib/gpoll.c: remove trailing whitespace.
2008-09-23 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
* glib/gpoll.[ch] (g_poll): Move this out of gmain.c and make it part
of the public API. (Part of Bug 505361 - gunixinputstream.c assumes
poll() available.)
2008-09-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gmain.c (poll_rest) [Win32]: Fix embarrassing bug: I was
passing an incorrect third parameter to memmove(), had forgotten
to multiply by the size of the table entry. Just use a for loop
instead, clearer. Odd I didn't notice when testing this code.
2008-09-19 Hans Petter Jansson <hpj@novell.com>
Rewrite most of GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic
probing instead of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory
fragmentation significantly, while being slightly faster due to
better locality and no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes.
Benchmarks suggest it also uses less memory overall.
* glib/ghash.c (prime_mod): Table of suitable primes for
initial-probe distribution.
(g_hash_table_set_shift): New function.
(g_hash_table_find_closest_shift): New function.
(g_hash_table_set_shift_from_size): New function.
(g_hash_table_lookup_node_for_insertion): New function.
(g_hash_table_lookup_node): Rewritten to return node index instead of
pointer, use quadratic probe on flat table, and not return insertion
data. The latter saves some computation for read-only lookups.
(g_hash_table_remove_node): Rewrite to take a pointer directly to the
node structure to remove, and clear that. Remove unlinking code.
(g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes): Rewrite to not clear nodes
individually, but en masse using memset () after potentially calling
notify functions.
(iter_remove_or_steal): Use new data structure and algorithm. Vastly
simplified - now just a call to g_hash_table_remove_node ().
(g_hash_table_resize): New resize code, re-indexing with new prime
and cleaning up tombstones.
(g_hash_table_maybe_resize): Table may hold 8 buckets minimum, no less
than 1/4 load excluding tombstones, and no more than 15/16 load
including tombstones. These numbers are the results of a lot of
benchmarking with multiple complex applications, and should not be
changed lightly.
(g_hash_table_iter_next)
(g_hash_table_lookup)
(g_hash_table_lookup_extended)
(g_hash_table_insert_internal)
(g_hash_table_remove_internal)
(g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal)
(g_hash_table_foreach)
(g_hash_table_find)
(g_hash_table_get_keys)
(g_hash_table_get_values): Use new data structure and algorithm,
fairly trivial changes.
2008-09-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib-zip.in: Look for man pages in share/man.
* glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_dll_directory)
* glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes): Be a bit less
restrictive, look for the helper programs in the same folder where
the GLib DLL is, not necessarily in a "bin" subfolder of the top
GLib installation folder.
2008-09-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

it could pull in the fam package like on other platforms, or just default
fam to off on those platforms if the fam package does not work on those
platforms.

534085 g_unichar_iswide_cjk() has a totally wrong table
is not equal to zero. On NetBSD, wd0a has major and minor number 0,
so that assumption doesn't hold.
Tested, and reported upstream, by Jared D. McNeill. (gnome bug #530196)
Also reported as NetBSD PR pkg/38518.
bump PKGREVISION
in turn depends on glib2!
Additionally, disable fam support entirely on HP-UX, because it uses
gamin as the default fam type and sysutils/fam lacks platform support.
changes:
-update bundled PCRE to 7.6, which fixes a buffer overflow
-translation updates
pkgsrc note: since we use pkgsrc pcre, this update is a rather
cosmetical one

posix_memalign(3) too, and NetBSD-current will deal with the binary

changes:
-update the bundled PCRE from 7.2 to 7.4
-minor bugfixes
-translation updates
pkgsrc changes:
-don't use the bundled PCRE anymore, use pkgsrc's
-try to work around some ld.so lossage on NetBSD (which leads to some
applications - most notably evolution and glade3 - not resolving symbols
in dynamically loaded plugins) another way: use the RTLD_DEFAULT
pseudo-handle when the main module is referred to. This could replace
the previous mechanism, but it needs more investigation and tests, so
I'm leaving both in parallel for now.
-"configure" decided to add libintl to LDFLAGS per default, this made
the test for libintl.so/gettext always succeed. Use libm.so/sin
for the test instead.
-Fix a trivial typo introduced recently which caused the test result
to be ignored.
Now some applications behave better, but not perfect because jmmv's
workaround can't deal with libraries loaded by dlopen'd objects.

The configure script needs to use the c++ compiler to correctly setup the
glibconfig.h for handling of VARARGS when being included from c++ programs,
otherwise builds can fail. eg. when using SunWorkshop CC on Solaris and
compiling arts.
Bump PKGREVISION.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.

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).

323937 gslice.c in glib 2.9.1 doesn't build on Mac OS X [Bogdan Nicula]
Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
=================================================
* Memory management
- The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
- g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
- Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
* Data structures
- Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
* Thread support
- Support for Solaris threads has been removed
[Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
- g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
variants [Martyn Russell]
* GObject:
- The concept of a floating initial reference has been

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
=================================================
* Unicode support:
- The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
[Behdad Esfahbod]
- The various Unicode character predicate functions
(g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
been optimized
[Behdad]
- g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
These functions handle negative offsets now, and
going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
"stutter stepping".
[Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
* Memory management:
- Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
- All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
data structures) have been deprecated, since they
never worked as intended.
- The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
efficient and scalable implementation.
[Tim Janik, Matthias]
* Pattern matching:
- g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
unnecessary recursion.
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
- New functions to intern strings. These are now used
by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
[Matthias]
* g_thread_foreach:
- New function to iterate over all GThreads
[Tim, Matthias]
* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
- New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
in favor of these.
[Roger Leigh]
* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
- These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
since they are in glib.h
[Matthias]

file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
data loss in libgobject, causing all kinds of annoying glitches in almost
all gtk2-applications (in words of macallan@, who requested this change).

te,zh_CN,zh_TW)
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
Add condition for FreeBSD >= 5 then use -lpthread.
I assume the previous -Wc,-lc_r was for 4.x and I keep it there.
(Sorry if I break this for others using FreeBSD. I didn't get much
feedback when posted to tech-pkg in May about this.)
I noticed this when building audio/arts on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE:
Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0)
Bump PKGREVISION since this changes the resulting package for FreeBSD.
(Todo: pkgsrc/mk/pthread.builtin.mk or pkgsrc/mk/pthread.buildlink3.mk
can be improved so this workaround can be removed.)

Noted on tech-pkg today that older packages had libgobject-2.0.so.400
and libglib-2.0.so.400 and newer packages provided
libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.3 and libglib-2.0.so.0.
The libtool changes on Sept. 22, 2004 made this install different
library naming. The next update was in 2.6.1 (on January 9, 2005).
So setting BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.glib2 to that version.
Apparently, 2.6 is binary-compatible with any 2.x version.
Hopefully, this will be good enough to force anyone with glib2 packages
from before Sept. 22, 2004 to update.

While here, get rid of the XDG path specification madness and use the
installation prefix to locate stuff instead of a nonsense hardcoded
path. Note that this is not pkgviews friendly (not a problem because
the previous behavior wasn't even). This makes applications work out
of the box (well, there are still some hardcoded paths in other
packages that have to be discovered), without any need to set an
environment variable.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
=================================================
* Major new APIs
- GOption, a commandline option parser
- GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
- Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
- Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
* Miscellaneous new functions
- g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
- g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
- g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
- g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
- g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
- g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
- g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
- G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
- glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
- g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
* Performance improvements
- Optimize g_utf8_validate()
- Optimize g_markup_parse_context_parse()
- Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1)
- Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
- Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
* Other changes
- On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
- Use higher precision for mathematical constants
- Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
- Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
- Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
- Add a .pc file for using gmodule in libraries
- Require ngettext
* Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1) [Sven Neumann]
* GChildWatch
- Use sigaction instead of signal [Jonas Jonnson, Archana Shah]
- Make the very first SIGCHLD work [Gustavo Carneiro]
* Win32 bug fixes [Tor Lillqvist, Bruce Hochstetler]
* Other bug fixes [Andrea Campi, Dave MacLachlan]
we don't add -pthread to CFLAGS. Also, pkgsrc libtool on NetBSD will
do the right thing with respect to pthreads, so we don't need to use the
hack in the configure script.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

Add a workaround for broken dlopen(NULL, 0) implementations, like NetBSD's
one, which don't search in modules opened at runtime to locate symbols
requested through the global handle. The workaround consists in querying
all open modules (not just the main one) when finding a symbol through the
global handle.
This should be fixed in NetBSD, but the check and workaround are needed to
let this work on not-so-old versions of it. The patch has been submitted
to glib developers, too.
This problem exposes, at least, in evolution's settings dialog, where many
widgets can't be created because of missing functions.
and caused lots of obscure problems in programs loading plugins (specially,
gstreamer).
The problem is that the check in the configure script tries to dlopen the
libpthread.so library, but the test program is not linked against libpthread
itself. So it crashes, because this is not supported in NetBSD (the program
was "initialized" as a non-threaded one). I've changed the test program to
use libintl, which seems to work fine.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
GLib-2.4 is a stable release adding an incremental improvement
in functionality over GLib-2.2 while maintaining binary and
source compatibility. New features include:
General
* Watches for child process exit integrated into the main loop.
* Unicode tables updated to cover all of Unicode-4.0.
* Standard header file for gettext macros, including Q_() macro
for strings with context.
* Improved seeding for the GRandom random number generator.
Threading
* Atomic operations on integers and pointers.
* GOnce for one-time initialization.
GObject:
* G_DEFINE_TYPE macros for easy definition of GObject types.
* Properties can now be added to interfaces.
* Instance private data allows private data members for objects.
"configure" script which otherwise picks "-pthreads" as the compiler
option for POSIX's Threads.
The real problem is probably that the buildlink3 framework passes
"-pthread" as a compiler option to "configure" and therefore defeats
the probes in the "configure" script. But that's hard to fix.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
