The variable names are typically mentioned in one of these styles:
# Package-settable variables:
#
# VARNAME
# Description
# Package-settable variables:
#
# VARNAME
# Description
Lines that are indented with two tabs contain text. And if one of these
lines starts with a variable name, it is just a coincidence. A practical
example of this happening is in mk/misc/developer.mk 1.24, where PKGNAME
starts a line of description.
This switch is meant to be used by packages requiring an implementation of the
former libusb (as in devel/libusb). The original implementation can be
chosen by setting LIBUSB_TYPE to "native".
The alternative implementation libusb-compat (as in devel/libusb-compat) wraps
libusb1 (in devel/libusb1). This implementation can be chosen by setting
LIBUSB_TYPE to "compat". On NetBSD, it has the advantage of not requiring root
privileges to locate and use USB devices without a kernel driver.
This first part only imports the switch framework itself.
The pkgdb variable generated for pbulk.conf is ${PREFIX}/var/db/pkg but
bootstrap generates by default PKG_DBDIR=${PREFIX}/pkgdb.
This fix add a common PKGDBDIR variable used for both pbulk.conf and
bootstrapkit.
Using variables such as PKGSRC_USE_SSP in package Makefiles to disable SSP does
not work due to the parsing order in bsd.prefs.mk. Even if it did, it's not a
good idea to mix user and package settable variables, and would cause issues in
complex packages where bsd.prefs.mk is included early (e.g. Makefile.common).
Packages can now set {MKPIE,MKREPRO,FORTIFY,RELRO,SSP,STACK_CHECK}_SUPPORTED=no
to correctly disable security features if necessary.
Ninka can be installed from wip/ninka and analyzes each file individually,
thereby providing a much more detailed analysis than the ad-hoc method that
only looks at some COPYING files.
If Ninka is not installed, the naive fallback continues to be used.
Before, the first file that looked like a license file was considered.
The others were completely ignored. This led to a wrong license for
cross/arm-none-eabi-gcc. To prevent these cases in the future, the license
is only guessed if there is exactly one file with a typical license name.
This approach is still naive, but at least a little more precise. Replacing
the guess-license with a determine-licenses is much more complicated
though, since each source code file may have its own license declared, and
handling all these special cases leads to very complex license expressions
(like "gnu-gpl-v3 for all files, except for special.c, which is apache-2.0
or mit). This is very hard to do correctly.
It compares the license file from the package with the available licenses
in licenses/ and shows the diff to the best match.
This will hopefully make it easier for package authors to include the
LICENSE variable in the package Makefile. This variable being missing is
one of the most frequent error messages from pkglint (4187 out of 20044).
Third-party (i.e. non-pkgsrc) C toolchains (I am using chromebrew)
install to /usr/local, as that is where you can have write access.
With this, a bootstrap on ChromeOS finishes successfully.
