for a terminal library.
[in an ideal world, ncurses wouldn't even be listed, but according
to the comments in configure.ac, some Linux distributions don't have
libcurses, only libncurses, so it should stay.]
fixes a problem when building with an external gcc, since gcc, when
installed into /prefix, unconditionally searches /prefix/lib for
libraries at link time causing it to find libncurses in /prefix/lib
(the normal gcc ugliness). this leads to the runtime linker being
unable to find libncurses.
noted by gavan@, fix tested by gavan@ and myself.
to maintain conistency of the generated files as currently required
by pkgsrc.
bump PKGREVISION.
(perhaps info files will be automatically added to the PLIST in the
future?)
4.6 (10 June 2003)
* Language:
. new command @/ specifies an allowable breakpoint within a line.
. new command @dofirstparagraphindent to control whether the first
paragraph following a section heading is indented. Default is to
omit this indentation, unlike the output up to now.
. new command @indent for explicitly indenting a paragraph.
. makeinfo writes a new construct for @image in Info output, so that
graphical Info browsers (such as Emacs Info under X) can display an
actual image. (Standalone Info ignores this, since it runs in a tty.)
* makeinfo:
. Common:
- search for image files in the include file search path.
- warns if @value is used on an undefined variable.
. Info output:
- default --split-size now 300,000 bytes, up from 50,000.
- with --enable-encoding and a given @documentencoding,
output a Local Variables section specifying that encoding, for use
with Emacs.
. HTML output:
- uses <h3> at the smallest.
- a few css <style> definitions are included to better
implement @format, @display, @small..., etc.
- new option --css-include=FILE includes FILE in the <style>.
- @cartouche now outputs a <table> with a border.
* texinfo.tex:
. new Polish translation txi-pl.tex.
* texi2dvi:
. --command=CMD replaces --texinfo=CMD; it inserts CMD at the first
line of LaTeX files now, or after the @setfilename for Texinfo files.
* info:
. RET now goes to the nearest xref (rather like Emacs Info),
instead of the next xref starting on the current line.
* Distribution:
. new Romanian (ro) translation.
. variables now declared const where appropriate.
. gettext 0.12.1, automake 1.7.5.
4.5 (4 February 2003)
* info:
. a bug in 4.4 prevented compressed info files from being found.
* Distribution:
. detect sys/ptem.h on Solaris.
4.4 (31 January 2003)
* Language:
. The ' (ASCII apostrophe/right quote) character is finally allowed in
node and anchor names. Thus, after installing this texinfo.tex,
existing .aux files will cause errors! Remove them and rerun TeX to
generate good ones.
. @value constructs are now expanded in the filename arguments to
@include and @verbatiminclude.
* makeinfo:
. bug fix: @copying text is now reflected in tag table positions;
before, nodes may not have been found with a long-enough @copying.
. bug fix: html @verb arg is quoted properly, and does not imply
a paragraph break.
* texinfo.tex:
. @smallexample and the like now output in a smaller font (9pt) in all
paper formats, not just @smallbook and @afourpaper.
. new translation txi-tr.tex.
. bug fix: <>| and other characters do not disappear when they are
first on a line in @verbatim.
* install-info:
. bug fix: don't translate the `* Menu' info keyword.
* info:
. CTRL-H is treated like DEL in incremental search.
. arrow keys once again work in isearch contexts under Solaris.
* infokey:
. use .info key bindings before defaults.
. allow prefix keys to be disabled.
* Distribution:
. update to GNU FDL 1.2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html).
. getopt and other common library files updated from gnulib
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib/).
. autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.2.
Package changes: fix PKGLOCALEDIR botch reported by various people. Many
thanks to Lubomir Sedlacik <salo at Xtrmntr dot org> for the patches in
PR 18616!
Changes in version 4.3:
4.3 (14 November 2002)
* Language:
. new command @tie{} to do a real tie (unbreakable interword space).
* makeinfo:
. html output for @defun and friends now has font changes.
. html output has some class attributes.
* texinfo.tex:
. new Italian translations, txi-it.tex.
. pdf bookmarks for unnumbered sections work.
. type name for @defun and friends no longer extends into margin.
* info:
. automatic-footnotes now off by default, for emacs compatibility.
. crash when MALLOC_CHECK_=2 fixed.
* install-info:
. new option --infodir synonym for --info-dir, for compatibility with
the Debian install-info.
. support for bzip2-compressed files.
* texindex:
. omit initial if the entire index is under one characters.
* Distribution:
. development sources now available under CVS, see
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/texinfo/
. Turkish message translation.
. gettext 0.11.5, autoconf 2.54, automake 1.7.1.
buildlink1 -> buildlink2.

*** IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL AUTHORS OF TEXINFO MANUALS ***
As of version 4.2, Texinfo has a new command @copying to define the
copyright and copying permissions for a manual. It's important to
switch to using it as soon as possible (as in your next release),
because the historical method of doing copyright permissions using
@ifinfo failed to output copyright information in the HTML (or XML)
formats. The manual has detailed explanations and examples. For
convenience, here's a url to one of the relevant sections:
http://texinfo.org/manual/Document-Permissions.html
4.2 (1 April 2002)
* Language:
. new command @copying to define copying permissions. See above.
. new conditionals @ifplaintext, @ifnotplaintext for the plain text
(--no-headers) output format.
. new command @\ to produce literal \ inside @math, since \ by itself
no longer works.
* makeinfo:
. emit accesskey attributes for keyboard shortcuts to menu items.
. @{even,every,odd}{footing,header} are ignored by makeinfo now, so
they no longer need to be enclosed in @iftex.
* texinfo.tex:
. bug fix for pdf-format table of contents.
* info:
. bug fixes for -R (--raw-escapes).
. --help shows short option names.
* Distribution:
. the doc.c, funs.h, and key.c files in info/ are no longer generated
at make time, to appease Automake's make distcheck.
. gettext 0.11.1, autoconf 2.53, automake 1.6 (with install-info kludge).
4.1 (4 March 2002)
* Language:
. new commands @verbatim and @verb for printing verbatim inserts.
. new command @verbatiminclude for verbatim include of files.
. new environment @documentdescription for defining the HTML description.
. new command @afivepaper for the A5 paper size.
* makeinfo:
. supports xml and docbook output.
. supports HTML splitting by node, which is now the default.
. new option --split-size to control maximum size of split info files.
* info:
. user-specified key bindings supported.
. ANSI escape sequences (as produced by groff) removed from man output
by default; use --raw-escapes to let them through if your terminal
supports them.
* texinfo.tex:
. @math implies @tex, so all the usual plain TeX math is supported.
. smaller fonts for @smallexample, in all page sizes.
. improvements in the PDF support.
* texi2dvi:
. new option -o to explicitly specify output filename.
* Distribution:
. switch to GNU Free Documentation License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/).
. update to GNU gettext 0.11, autoconf 2.52, and automake 1.5.
. Danish, Swedish, and Hebrew message translations.
dealing with info files i.e. explicitly specify which install-info
command should be used.
*Explicitly* do not use ../../mk/texinfo.mk to avoid running into chicken and
egg problem:
define INSTALL_INFO to the very install-info command this package provides
and use it in post-install *and* PLIST.
* Language:
. New command @anchor for cross references to arbitrary points.
. New commands @documentlanguage sets the main document language,
and @documentencoding sets the document input encoding (although not
much is done yet with either).
. New command @pagesizes allows limited control of text area for typesetting.
. New command @acronym for abbreviations in all caps, such as `NASA'.
. New command @alias for simple command aliases.
. New command @definfoenclose for better control of info output.
. New commands @deftypeivar for typed instance variables of a class
and @deftypeop for typed operations of a class.
. New command @novalidate suppresses cross-reference checking and (in
TeX) auxiliary file creation.
. New commands @setcontentsaftertitlepage and
@setshortcontentsaftertitlepage to force printing the table of
contents after @end titlepage. Also, @contents and @shortcontents
themselves can now appear at the beginning of the document as
well as the end.
. New markup commands: @env (for environment variables), @command (for
command names), @option (for command-line options).
. New commands @smallformat and @smalldisplay, a la @smallexample.
. New command @exampleindent to set indentation of example-like
environments a la @paragraphindent.
. @uref takes an optional third argument of text to show instead of
(rather than in addition to) the url for info and dvi output.
. @footnote works in an @item for a @table.
* texinfo.tex:
. implements @macro.
. implements @paragraphindent (except asis).
. @emph and @i use true italic type (cmti) instead of slanted (cmsl).
. implements pdf output when run with pdftex.
. better support for internationalization via txi-??.tex files.
* makeinfo:
. supports HTML output with the --html option.
. implication of --html: @top nodes should be wrapped in @ifnottex
rather than @ifinfo. @ifinfo conditionals are not expanded with --html.
. new option --number-sections to output chapter/section numbers.
. dashes and quotes are not treated specially in node names.
. new option --commands-in-node-names to allow @-commands in node names.
(Not implemented in TeX, and most likely never will be.)
. @emph output uses _underscores_.
. @image looks for .png files before .jpg.
. only output `Making ... file' line when verbose.
. allow -v as synonym for --verbose.
. new command line options to specify which conditionals to process
(but --iftex is not fully implemented).
. warns if @var contains any of ,[]().
. @quote-arg implicitly done for all one-argument macros, so commas in
the argument text are allowed.
. \\ required in macro body to get single \, no other `escapes' defined.
* info:
. ISO Latin 1 characters are displayed and input as-is by default.
. new option --vi-keys to enable vi-like and less-like key bindings.
. new command S does case-sensitive searching.
. new commands C-x n and C-x N repeat last search, respectively, in the
same and in reverse direction, without prompting for the string. These
commands are bound to n and N under --vi-keys, like in Less.
. new command G menu1 menu2 ... searches for menu items from (dir),
as allowed on the command line.
. new command O (capital o, not zero) goes directly to the node that
describes command-line options.
. new command-line option --show-options causes the node which
describes command-line options to be the first node displayed.
. M-prior and M-DEL do new command info-scroll-other-window-backward.
. / searches like s does.
. If the search string includes upper-case letters, in both incremental
and non-incremental search, the search is case-sensitive.
. S searches case-sensitively even if the search string is all
lower-case.
. - makes the argument negative (so e.g. `- /' searches backward).
. l restores point in the window returned to.
. SPC/DEL do not move outside the current document.
. foo.info is found before foo.
. `info foo --index-search=bar' now searches for bar in foo's index.
. support for files compressed with bzip2.
* install-info:
. handles gzipped dir files.
. sort entries into alphabetical order.
. install direntries only in preceding dircategory, not in all.
. --delete does not require the info file to exist.
. --delete can handle XEmacs-style dir entries.
* texi2dvi:
. bug fixed: now uses only the @iftex and @tex parts of the source.
. process LaTeX source as well as Texinfo source.
. output PDF (using pdftex) with new option --pdf.
. handles --OPTION=ARG style of command line arguments.
. new option --batch for progress reports but no interaction.
. new option --clean to remove all auxiliary files.
. new option --quiet for silence (unless there are errors).
. new option -I for specifying directories for @include to search.
. handles LaTeX files (running BibTeX etc.).
* Fixes to util/gen-dir-node and util/fix-info-dir (formerly util/update-info).
(This makes me wonder how things work when I setup a system from solaris
pkgs only, that were generated from pkgsrc - i doubt they have the /var/db/pkg
information to make our system recognize them as "our" pkg... ?)
- 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.
