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.
NEW FEATURES
o sprintf() returns elements of the result in UTF-8 when the
format or any character input has a corresponding element
declared as UTF-8. Similarly for paste(), elements of the
result are in UTF-8 when any input to that element is declared
as UTF-8.
o axis() has new arguments 'col.ticks' and 'lwd.ticks' to allow
the colour and line width of ticks to be set separately from
that of the line (e.g. to set one or the other to transparent
or zero width).
o legend() has a new argument 'box.col' to set the colour of the
enclosing box.
o legend() gains a 'xpd' argument to make it easier to place a
legend in the margins or outer margins.
o stripchart() now passes '...' to title() (as well as to
plot.default() and axis()). (Wish of PR#12202)
o help.search() has new argument 'searchEngine' to go
directly to the search form: this is needed by users of
Firefox 3 to workaround a bug in interpreting the search
results pages.
+ BUG FIXES
2.7.1 NEW FEATURES
o tools::texi2dvi() has a new argument 'texinputs' to allow the
TeX and bibtex input paths to be specified (even on MiKTeX).
o dev.copy2pdf() gains an 'out.type' argument to allow it to be
used with cairo_pdf() or quartz(type = "pdf").
o poly() has additional checks against user error (as in PR#11243).
o The Mac OS quartz() device draws contiguous lines much faster.
o A field containing just a sign is no longer regarded as numeric
(it was on all platforms in 2.7.0, but not on most in earlier
versions of R). Similarly, '.' is now always non-numeric.
o CITATION files are now read in Latin-1: quite a few were
failing if used in a multibyte locale such as UTF-8.
o The DESCRIPTION file of a package can specify an 'OS_type' field
as either 'unix' or 'windows' to confine installation to that
OS type.
o HoltWinters() now uses optimize() rather than optim for
one-parameter problems which should be more reliable (PR#11469).
o axis() now respects the setting of par("xpd") when clipping.
o The 'factor' method of format() now preserves names, dims and
dimnames in the same way as for character and numeric inputs.
(PR#11512)
o read.DIF(*, transpose=TRUE) now allows to correctly read DIF files
produced by some versions of Excel.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o The use of unserialize() on character strings is deprecated:
that was a format used in R < 2.4.0.
o The use of embedded nuls in character strings is deprecated:
They will no longer be allowed in R 2.8.0.
UTILITIES
o R CMD check checks for possible check directories in the
sources -- in mid-2008 there were about 20 examples on CRAN.
o R CMD build tries harder to clean up the inst/doc directory
from the remnants of earlier builds.
It also removes any directories with extension .Rcheck, and
files .DS_Store and ._* (created by tar on Mac OS X under some
circumstances: it now sets environment variables to ask for
such files not to be created by that tar.)

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o The default graphics device in non-interactive use is now
pdf() rather than postscript(). [PDF viewers are now
more widely available than PostScript viewers.]
The default width and height for pdf() and bitmap() have been
changed to 7 (inches) to match the screen devices.
o Most users of the X11() device will see a new device that has
different fonts, anti-aliasing of lines and fonts and
supports semi-transparent colours.
o Considerable efforts have been made to make the default output
from graphics devices as similar as possible (and in
particular close to that from postscript/pdf). Many devices
were misinterpreting 'pointsize' in some way, for example as
being in device units (pixels) rather than in points.
o Packages which include graphics devices need to be re-installed
for this version of R, with recently updated versions.
+ New features and bug fixes.
Changes are basically bugfixes.
pkgsrc changes:
Don't bother patching configure.ac - it was only part of the changes
being made to configure so don't pretend you could use it to regerate
configure.
Use -fPIC rather than -fpic for NetBSD powerpc. Should fix PR 38032.
patch-ac that altered the order in which the terminal library for
readline was detected. The termcap.buildlink3.mk file (included
indirectly by readline/buildlink3.mk) will do the right thing by
itself.
+ Modify the pkg-index.tmpl INSTALL script fragment: we can just use
${PKG_PREFIX} instead of substituting for @PREFIX@ everywhere. Also
refactor the commands to rebuild the package index into a shell
function and give some indication to the user what is happening.
+ Remove chown operation in post-install that was basically
cargo-culted from the very first version of R imported into pkgsrc.
It's not necessary.
+ Support user-destdir installation.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.
pkgsrc changes: no longer automatically generate the PLIST.

Changes 2.4.1
This is a maintenance release and fixes a number of mostly minor bugs.
Changes 2.4.0
This release has many new features. One important aspect is that S4
classes now have their own internal type, and S4 method dispatch has
been completely revised to using cached generic functions, giving
substantial performance improvements. As a consequence, all packages
depending on "methods" need to be reinstalled.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
This version contains several minor fixups and removes a couple of bad
bugs such as NA-handling of mean() for integer vectors.
Changes 2.3.0
This version contains several changes and additions, mostly incremental.
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).
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.
link to appear in the tools directory and be picked up and embedded in
one of the installed scripts. Since this package clearly uses gzip at
runtime add an explicit USE_TOOLS+=gzip:run and fixup the gzip path that
gets embedded. Fixes PR pkg/32218. Bump PKGREVISION.
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o options("expressions") has been reduced to 1000: the limit
of 5000 introduced in 2.1.0 was liable to give crashes from C
stack overflow.
NEW FEATURES
o Use of 'pch' (e.g. in points) in the symbol font 5 is now
interpreted in the single-byte encoding used by that font.
Similarly, strwidth now recognizes that font 5 has a different
encoding from that of the locale. (These are likely to affect
the answer only in MBCS locales such as UTF-8.)
o The URW font metrics have been updated to versions from late
2002 which cover more glyphs, including Cyrillic.
o New postscript encodings for CP1250 (Windows East European),
ISO Latin-7 (8859-13, Latvian, Lithuanian and Maori), Cyrillic
(8859-5), KOI8-R, KOI8-U and CP1251.
o configure has more support for the Intel and Portland Group
compilers on ix86 and x86_64 Linux.
o R CMD INSTALL will clean up if interrupted (e.g. by ctrl-C from
the keyboard).
o There is now a comprehensive French translation of the messages,
thanks to Philippe Grosjean.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o The undocumented use of atan() with two arguments is deprecated:
instead use atan2() (as documented).
o The 'vfont' argument of axis() and mtext() is deprecated
(it currently warns and does nothing).
o The function mauchley.test() is deprecated (was a misspelling)
and replaced by mauchly.test()
Many BUG FIXES

- don't declare alloca on DragonFly, it conflicts with system headers
- patch libtool.m4 fragment for DrgaonFly
those packages that currently use ${MASTER_SITE_R_CRAN:=foo} as their

MASTER_SITE variables cannot be used for this.
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.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
