Overview of changes between 1.24.4 and 1.24.5
=============================================
- Build introspection again
- Misc bug fixes
Bug 589133 – Firefox 3.5 complains about invalid weak references
Bug 585806 – crash during pango_fc_font_map_shutdown
Bug 588678 – pango crash: install a new theme from
It comes from upstream Bug#562310:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562310
Availability detection of `gtkdoc-rebase' command is depend on the behaviour
of `which' command, if `which gtkdoc-rebase' return false, do nothing.
It is known as not works as expected on Darwin and Solaris, then failed in
unwanted gtkdoc-rebase execution, and abort.
It is already fixed in upstream gtk-doc repository, but not released yet(1.12?).
So, some packages may contain and be using un-fixed gtk-doc.* files.
For easy to determine whether it is fixed or not, check gtk-doc.make contains
following commit (not using 'which gtkdoc-rebase', but $(GTKDOC_REBASE) macro):
http://git.gnome.org./cgit/gtk-doc/commit/?id=ef5f56ca5fd4a077e6f7a374e8dd333b7a6a8d42
If not it will build but won't do the fontconfig, and
freetype2 related parts. Even cairo is not used.
(While here also add a comment suggesting maybe a libthai option later.)
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.
