Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

* Compatibility with Matlab graphics is much better now. We now
have some graphics features that work like Matlab's Handle
Graphics (tm):
* The way Octave handles search paths has changed.
* Previous versions of Octave had a number of built-in variables to
control warnings (for example, warn_divide_by_zero). These
variables have been replaced by warning identifiers that are used
with the warning function to control the state of warnings.
* All built-in variables have been converted to functions.
* For compatibility with Matlab, the output order of Octave's
"system" function has changed.
* For compatibility with Matlab, the output of Octave's fsolve
function has been changed.
* For compatibility with Matlab, normcdf, norminv, normpdf, and
normrnd have been modified to compute distributions using the
standard deviation instead of the variance.
* For compatibility with Matlab, gamcdf, gaminv, gampdf, gamrnd,
expcdf, expinv, exppdf and exprnd have been modified to compute
the distributions using the standard scale factor rather than
one over the scale factor.
and replace with appropriate references to PKGINFODIR instead.
* Properly account for split info files during installation.
* Move info file listings directly into the package PLISTs.
This fixes info-file-related PLIST problems.
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
framework. The list of changes include:
* Modify compiler.mk so that "c" is always prepended to USE_LANGUAGES,
so we no longer need to say it in package Makefiles. Packages
should now append to USE_LANGUAGES instead of setting it.
* Create mk/compiler/f2c.mk which implements another pseudo-compiler
"f2c" that may be used with any C compiler backend, e.g.
PKGSRC_COMPILER= f2c ccache gcc
* Teach the various "real" compiler files, e.g., sunpro.mk, mipspro.mk,
etc., to use f2c if the native Fortran compiler isn't present.
Packages that use Fortran should now simply include the line:
USE_LANGUAGES+= fortran
in the package Makefile.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
- teTeX 1.0.x packages have been moved to teTeX1* directories.
- teTeX 2.0.x packages have been moved to teTeX* directories and their base
name has been changed to teTeX (instead of teTeX2).
want to patch all this), so bail out if we detect a gcc-3 compiler.
Suggest octave-current instead. Closes my own PR pkg/21874.
While here, allow dependecy on either ghostscript or ghostscript-nox11.
