CFLAGS and LDFLAGS had been checked for GCC-style flags only. This didn't
make sense since wrong flags would be detected on the exotic platforms
anyway.
The experimental --autofix has been removed.
The check for "# used by" comments in Makefile.common has been removed.
Especially the --autofix could damage files.
The warnings for ICON_THEMES have been removed since they appear in
groups of thousands, and the old pkglint cannot issue warnings "once per
file" simply.
The warnings about variable permissions were not understandable enough to
be acted upon. The new pkglint does this better.
The languages that are allowed in USE_LANGUAGES are defined differently
in the pkgsrc infrastructure, thus the old parsing code does not work
anymore. Therefore all identifiers are allowed now.
Dependency patterns like 'package>=1.0<2.0' are no longer marked as
wrong.
The debatable warning about plural names is gone.
The order of variables in simple Makefiles is no longer checked. Some new
variables have been added in the meantime, and keeping the consistent
order is not of utmost importance to those pkgsrc developers who work
with pkglint4. They are experienced enough to know the rules.
Missing manual pages are no longer marked in the PLIST files. It's not
the job of pkgsrc to provide these files.
The warning about unnoticed errors in pipelines like 'find | xargs' has
been removed because the shell parser is unreliable. This is solved
better in the new pkglint.
The version number '4.193.0' had always been compared to the string
'pkglint4-4.193.0', which when interpreted as a version number, was:
(16, 11, 7, 12, 9, 14, 20, 4, 0, 193, 0, 0). This was always greater than
the (4, 0, 193, 0, 0).
Introduce Icon Theme cache handling framework
Icon Theme cache files are used by GTK+ and maintained with the
gtk-update-icon-cache tool. Each Icon Theme package duplicates
its own maintainance scripts: only the specified icon theme directory
differs. With this framework, if packages have ICON_THEMES=yes,
associated icon themes will be detected and their cache files will
be maintained automatically.
Change cache handling behaviour as follows:
* Icon theme caches will be updated if either gtk2+ or gtk3+
gtk-update-icon-cache tool is available.
* With installation of gtk2+ package, not only hicolor icon theme but
also any other icon theme cache files will be updated.
* Prevent removal of icon caches at deinstall, gtk3+ may be installed and
using them.
* Ditto with gtk3+, gtk2+ may not be installed now, so caches must be
maintained by gtk3+.
The Perl version of pkglint (pkglint<5.0) runs on all platforms that
are supported by pkgsrc. Not so the Go version (pkglint>=5.0).
To support development of packages on all platforms, this version is
provided, and it will be supported equally. Its output differs a bit
from pkglint>=5.0, but the basic checks are the same.
