Remove option for flac as vlc's configure script forces it to be enabled
all the time (contrary to the docs!).
Add some buildlink dependencies.

...and more, see the NEWS file.
(wxwidgets on by default with skins2 disable for compatibility). N.B. If
skins2 is enabled and wxwidgets disabled, vlc will work fine, but there will
be no dialog provider so you won't be able to alter the playlist.
Add libdvdpsi and enable support for it - this is required for mpeg-ts
streams (i.e. default network streams).
Bump PKGREVISION

BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.
Added a legacy check that catches appearances of BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.*.
XXX: Where should incompatible changes in pkgsrc be documented?
Patch for flac-1.1.3 support from
ftp.altlinux.org /pub/people/thresh
Bump PKGREVISION. Tested by joerg@.
Clean up pkglint warnings and remove a SUBST which doesn't do anything
(says an INFO message).
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
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
Fix typos in SUBST_MESSAGE*
Add missing x11.buildlink3.mk.
Remove two files from PLIST, because they are not built on my 3.99.18/i386
test system. Bump PKGREVISION.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
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).
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

SDL dependencies change, so bump PKGREVISION (and BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED)

updated to the interface changes for the two libraries.
Based on PR 32023 by David Howland.
Bump PKGREVISION for any users that still have the old libcd* libraries installed.
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.

Split PLIST into PLIST.common and PLIST.common_end to fix an error while
removing the package.
Also remove the trailing space at the two plist manpage entries, which
caused an warning during package installation.

VideoLAN is a project of French students from the Ecole
Centrale Paris and developers from all over the world. Its main
goals is MPEG streaming on a network, but it also features a
standalone multimedia player. The VideoLAN Server can stream
video read from a hard disk, a DVD player, a satellite card or
an MPEG 2 compression card, and unicast or multicast it on a
network. The VideoLAN Client can read the stream from the
network and display it. It can also be used to display video
read locally on the computer : DVDs, VCDs, MPEG and DivX files
and from a satellite card. It is multi-plaform : Linux,
Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, BSD, Solaris, QNX, iPaq... The
VideoLAN Client and Server now have a full IPv6 support.
