* msggrep: A '$' anchor in a regular expression now also matches the end of
the string, even if it does not end in a newline.
* Dependencies:
The libraries and programs are now linked with libunistring if this library
is already installed.
* Installation options:
The configure option --with-cvs is deprecated. The 'autopoint' program will
now use the 'git' program by default to compress its archive. If the
configure option --without-git is specified, 'autopoint' will not rely on
'git', but will instead rely on a locally installed a 3 MB large archive.
Changes 0.18:
* Runtime behaviour:
- On MacOS X and Windows systems, <libintl.h> now extends setlocale() and
newlocale() so that their determination of the default locale considers
the choice the user has made in the system control panels.
- On MacOS X systems, the gettext()/dgettext()/... functions now respect the
locale of the current thread, if a thread-specific locale has been set.
* PO file format:
There is a new field 'Language' in the header entry. It denotes the language
code (plus optional country code) for the PO file. This field can be used
by automated tools, such as spell checkers. It is expected to be more
reliable than looking at the file name or at the 'Language-Team' field in
the header entry.
msgmerge, msgcat, msgen have a new option --lang that allows to specify
this field. Additionally, msgmerge fills in this new field by looking at
the 'Language-Team' field (if the --lang option is not given).
* xgettext and PO file format:
For messages with plural forms, programmers can inform the translators
about the range of possible values of the numeric argument, like this:
/* xgettext: range: 0..15 */
This information 'range: 0..15' is stored in the PO file as a flag attached
to the message. Translators can produce better translations when they know
that the numeric argument is small.
* Colorized PO files:
msgattrib, msgcomm, msgconv, msgen, msgfilter, msggrep, msginit, msgmerge,
msgunfmt, msguniq, xgettext now have options --color and --style, like msgcat
has since version 0.17.
* msgmerge is up to 10 times faster when the PO and POT files are large.
This speedup was contributed by Ralf Wildenhues.
* msgcmp has a new option -N/--no-fuzzy-matching, like msgmerge has since
version 0.12.
* msgfilter now sets environment variables during the invocation of the
filter, indicating the msgid and location of the messge being processed.
* xgettext now can extract plural forms from Qt 4 programs. The recommended
xgettext command-line options for this case are:
--qt --keyword=tr:1,1t --keyword=tr:1,2c,2t --keyword=tr:1,1,2c,3t
* xgettext --language=GCC-source now recognizes also the format strings
used in the Fortran front-end of the GCC compiler, and marks them as
'gfc-internal-format'.
* autopoint can now be used to update several PO directories all together.
needs -liconv in order to satisfy linkage requirements. This is now
patterned after the approach taken with readline and termlib.

libiconv/buildlink3.mk file based on whether or not we're using the
built-in gettext-lib or not. This is clearer than what existed in
revision 1.33 of gettext-lib/builtin.mk and fixes the problem introduced
in revision 1.34.
it for plurals support, but that is already handled correctly (FSVO
"correctly") by the pkgsrc/mk/tools/msgfmt.sh script.
Also remove _USE_GNU_GETTEXT definitions from pkgsrc/mk/platform/*.mk
files as that value has been unused by pkgsrc for quite some time
(going back several branches).
msgfmt, then it should set the following in the package Makefile:
USE_TOOLS+= msgfmt
To deal with message files that use the "msgid_plural" statement,
which isn't supported in NetBSD<=3.x and also in gettext<=0.10.35, we
determine if the built-in "msgfmt" is sufficiently new enough to
understand "msgid_plural". If it isn't, then we use the msgfmt.sh
script to transform the msgid_plural statements to an equivalent
construct that's understood by older msgfmt tools.
The msgfmt.sh script is a straightforward translation of the original
perl script msgfmt.pl script by Julio M. Merino Vidal into shell and
awk, which are more lightweight dependencies than perl.
We remove the USE_MSGFMT_PLURALS bits in gettext-lib/builtin.mk as they
are made obsolete by the new code in mk/tools/msgfmt.mk.
BUILD_USE_MSGFMT is still supported but will be removed in a separate
commit.
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).
are identical (e.g., msgid == msgid_plural) by ignoring the duplicates.
In fact, this is a rewrite of the script, since I couldn't understand the
old one (ew).
Also change the way we use it to only pull it in the build if the real
msgfmt does not support plurals (i.e., it's older than 0.10.36).
Fixes PR pkg/30596 and PR pkg/30938 (both related to epiphany).
It also fixes the build of evolution-data-server and probably others.
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.
${WRKSRC}. Just directly create the msgfmt wrapper in the proper
target. Also, note that the msgfmt handling should eventually migrate
to the tools framework so that build dependencies and binary paths are
correct.
and let it worry about whether libiconv is built-in or not. Remove
all references to libiconv from builtin.mk.
The logic in builtin.mk was broken and unnecessary, leading to a
build failure on at least some Linux systems (such as Debian woody
without any gettext packages installed).
"GNU gettext" detection outside of the BROKEN_GETTEXT_DETECTION block.
We will need this to happen all the time if we're using a built-in
gettext that isn't really GNU gettext.
is _not_ GNU gettext, so it's presence should not set IS_BUILTIN.gettext
to "yes", but it _can_ set USE_BUILTIN.gettext to "yes" to force that
it be used.
Also, create a new variable BROKEN_GETTEXT_DETECTION, which is yes/no
depending on whether or not a package's GNU configure script properly
detects -lintl. This variable currently defaults to "yes", but should
eventually be set to "no" and overridden on a package-by-package basis
for those packages that truly are broken.
API version 2 to choose the builtin library over GNU gettext shipped
with each package.
In fact, the gettext library included in a package should never be
used. Otherwise every such package would install charset.alias and
locale.alias, causing conflicts with each other when pkgviews is
enabled.
For platforms without ngettext() in their builtin libintl (assumed to
be gettext-lib-0.10.35nb1 by gettext-lib/builtin.mk), packages
requiring gettext API version 2 must add dependency on
gettext-lib>=0.10.36 to share devel/gettext-lib rather than to link
statically against the included gettext library.
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
that it can not be builtin. So also check for "This file is part
of the GNU C Library".
This helps with systems that have gettext(3) functionality
included in their glibc.
This also fixes build problem under Linux where devel/popt didn't
build "because some functions are defined both in gettext-lib and
in the native libc" as reported by minskim to tech-pkg on 21/Mar/2004.
by our native libintl. While it is not implemented, this allows us to build
programs against the native libintl, loosing very few functionality (some
translations of plural messages on few languages), and avoiding runtime
conflicts between native libintl and the gnu one (coming from the gettext
package).
Packages including .po files with uses of msgid_plural should define the
USE_MSGFMT_PLURALS variable to 'yes', so that the msgfmt wrapper is used.
(Do not use it when not really needed, as it will pull in perl5 as a build
dependancy).
dependencies unless USE_GNU_GETTEXT is defined or IMCOMPAT_GETTEXT is set
appropriately. This should allow packages to use the glibc gettext
routines on Linux.
built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
