Bug: fix globbing of broken symlinks.
2002-07-31
Bug: readline doesn't handle EIO either.
2002-08-15
Bug: variables that are sometimes exported (i.e. $prompt and
$version) need to be made exportable if they are inherited from the
environment.
Portability: don't call sigaction() for SIGKILL or SIGSTOP; don't
hand a garbage signal mask to sigaction() (thanks Jeremy
Fitzhardinge). Also, remove use of SA_INTERRUPT (SUSv3, BSD,
etc. have SA_RESTART with the inverted meaning).
2002-08-20
Bug: don't call ealloc(0) on systems where getgroups() doesn't
return egid (thanks Chris Siebenmann).
2002-11-27
Bug: history dumps core if more colons than substitutions (thanks
Callum Gibson); history fails to avoid itself if it's the only
command; history writes and reads outside allocated memory.
Configuration: upgrade to autoconf-2.56 and automake-1.7.1.
2003-07-17
Testing: remove test for large file support, as it causes
indigestion on file systems that don't support sparse files (thanks
Scott Schwartz).
2003-07-22
Release: rc-1.7.1.
2003-09-24
Tidiness: minor improvements to input.c.
2014-02-26
Bug: fix for CVE-2014-1936 from Jakub Wilk.
2014-06-29
Documentation: update email and web addresses.
2014-08-31
Feature: support quoting for filename completion in GNU readline.
2014-09-01
Bug: quoting of glob characters was broken (thanks Christian
Neukirchen); fix the "sneaky parens" bug properly (thanks Wolfgang
Zekoll).
Feature: allow $"x as a synonym for $^x
Release: rc-1.7.2.
2015-04-03
Packaging: the rc.spec file was very out-of-date.
2015-04-04
Portability: the comment from 1999-08-19 may well have been true at
the time, but the final version of the C99 standard called varargs
copying macro va_copy().
2015-04-07
Portability: look in -ltinfo for tgetent.
Packaging: various autoconf / automake updates and tweaks.
2015-04-14
Bug: in initinput(), the call ugchar(EOF) used the ungetcount member
of the top Input structure without initializing it. Thanks to Jeff
Johnson for finding this, Robert Scheck for reporting it, and Uli
Drepper for implementing MALLOC_PERTURB_, a cheap way to find uses of
uninitialized memory.
2015-04-18
Licensing: tweaked to match exactly the "zlib with acknowledgement"
license which is used by nunit and is already approved by various
distros.
2015-04-20
Release: rc-1.7.3.
2015-05-12
Licensing: due to GPL compatibility concerns, the license is changed
again to the "zlib" license. (N.B. This license change was agreed and
approved by Byron Rakitzis, who is the copyright holder.)
Testing: swap arguments to mktemp to be kinder to NetBSD (thanks Piotr
Meyer).
2015-05-13
Release: rc-1.7.4.
Existing SHA1 digests verified, all found to be the same on the
machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). Existing SHA1
digests retained for now as an audit trail.
are replaced with .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk", and
USE_GNU_READLINE are removed,
* .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk" without USE_GNU_READLINE
are replaced with .include "../../mk/readline.buildlink3.mk".
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
+SHELL.
* Turn PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS into a variable that can be set in the shell
environment so that admins can make a choice when installing from
binary packages.
* PKG_SHELL is now a list of paths, and if the path is relative, then it
is taken to be relative to ${PREFIX}. Convert packages that set
PKG_SHELL to take advantage of this new feature by changing the full
paths to the shells into relative paths.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
