have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
Here are some of them, excerpted from NEWS:
- New code to handle multibyte characters.
- `select' was changed to be more ksh-compatible
- There is now a bindable edit-and-execute-command readline command,
like the vi-mode `v' command, bound to C-xC-e in emacs mode.
- The shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the
machine supports (intmax_t), instead of long.
- There is a new configuration option `--enable-mem-scramble', controls
bash malloc behavior of writing garbage characters into memory at
allocation and free time.
- The `complete' and `compgen' builtins now have a new `-s/-A service'
option to complete on names from /etc/services.
- `read' has a new `-u fd' option to read from a specified file descriptor.
- The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the
function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a
script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as
POSIX-2001 requires.
- The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the
new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like,
and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better. Code
from Gary Vaughan.
- New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup
and close).
- The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
- Added support for DESTDIR installation root prefix, so you can do a
`make install DESTDIR=bash-root' and do easier binary packaging.
- New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; does group name
completion.
- The ksh-like `ERR' trap has been added. The `ERR' trap will be run
whenever the shell would have exited if the -e option were enabled.
It is not inherited by shell functions.
- configure has a new `--enable-largefile' option, like other GNU utilities.
- `for' loops now allow empty word lists after `in', like the latest POSIX
drafts require.
- The builtin `ulimit' now takes two new non-numeric arguments: `hard',
meaning the current hard limit, and `soft', meaning the current soft
limit, in addition to `unlimited'
Also, there is a "New unwind-protect implementation from Paul
Eggert", which I believe obviates the need for two sparc64-related
patches.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage

pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
Extract of CHANGES:
Bugfixes; command completion should now take half the stat(2)s it took
before; lots of changes to the POSIX mode; SSH2_CLIENT not auto-exported
any more (like SSH_CLIENT before); realpath builtin; 'set' without
options returns valid input, and lots others.
build a binary package with this definition would fail as the PLIST is
not correct.
If a package's documentation is overwhelming, it should arguably be handled
in a separate pre-requisite documentation package.
- 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.
page). This fixes PR pkg/4850 by Perry E. Metzger <perry@piermont.com>.
Also while there, see that the section under which the info file in the
dir file ends up is "Shells", not "Misc". (To be consistent with zsh)
