pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
pkglint -Wall -r -F cad
Manually fixed the indentation in cad/ghdl/Makefile because SITES.* was
(by the current definition) not long enough to count as an outlier line,
and because of this, all other lines were aligned to that line.
Problems found with existing distfile for eagle:
distfiles/eagle-lin32-7.4.0.run
No changes made to eagle/distinfo file.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Many many improvements and bug fixes since the last packaged
release. A partial list is:
atlc should no longer fail any test on a multi-processor
system configured with --with-threads. The algorithm used
for both single processor and multiple processor (i.e.
threaded code is the same).
The -t option to atlc, which sets the number of threads
when configured for multiple processors can be set to 0
to use entirely the single-threaded algorithm. If set to
one, it will use the multi-threaded algoritm, but use
only one thread. If set to some other number, it will use
that number of threads and be optimal for the same number
of cpus.
Added some support for gathering hardware data under Linux.
Removed MPI support, as its not working at all.
Changes made to the code to remove the need for a type long long,
which should make the code more portable.
Some changes have been made to the bests so that when
the benchmark runs it should not produce junk for
the hardware information on any system. Previosly
is could create a lot of junk, that was all wrong.
uname is now only called once from try_portable.c
and the splatform specific stuff computed elsewhere
atlc now runs on anything from a toy to a supercomuter! Yes, that is
right. An early version of atlc has been run on a Sony Playstation 2
games console and version 4.4.0 has been tested on the Cray Y-MP
supercomputer!! It has also been run on a very large number of other
UNIX systems, so is hopefully very portable.
An option that was previously reccommended --enable-hardware-info
has been removed. It is now enabled by default, but can be
over-ridden with --disable-hardware-info.
Added a system call to get the number of configured
processors online in Linux. This seems to be undocumented
so it not without its risks, but it seems to work okay on the
limited number of systems tested on.
Someone has done a Windoze port of atlc. Appently it took just 5
minutes, from start to finish. A single bug was found that prevented
atlc compiling, but that was fixed - it needed a left brace removed.
This had never been seen on a UNIX system, since the offending code
was between a couple of #define's.
It has been bought to my attention that bitmaps created with Photoshop
prior to version 7.01 could not be read by atlc. This was not a
fault of Photoshop, but of atlc, so that bug has been fixed.
NEWS for realease 4.6.0 Nobember 2003.
This is a very different from the last release (4.5.1) in
two very important ways.
1) The basic accuracy for single dielectrics has been improved.
Now typical errors are only around 0.1%
2) I have re-enabled the calculation of multiple dielectrics
which were disabled due to accuracy concerns. I'm still not
100% happy with the algorithms, but on tests with a dual
coaxial cable with two dielectrics shows errors of under 2%,
I hope to improve this further at a later date.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Many improvements such as support for mixed dielectric systems and several
bitmap generators for common structures to allow quick application of the
tool. Several bug fixes as well. Voltages outside a shield are set to zero
which fixes a reported result in older versions. Many other improvemnts
and bug fixes are listed in the ChangeLog in the distfile.
------
Atlc is a finite difference programme that is used to calculate the
properties of a two-conductor electrical transmission line of
arbitrary cross section. It is used whenever there are no analytical
formula known, yet you still require an answer. It can calculate:
The impedance Zo (in Ohms)
The capacitance per unit length (pF/m)
The inductance per unit length (nF/m)
The velocity of propogation v (m/s)
The velocity factor, v/c, which is dimensionless.
A bitmap file (usually with the extension .bmp or .BMP) of the cross
section of the transmission line is drawn in a graphics package such
as The Gimp and then analyzed using Atlc.
