Problems found locating distfiles:
Package colorls: missing distfile ls.tar.gz
Package molden: missing distfile molden-4.6/molden4.6.tar.gz
Package softmaker-office-demo: missing distfile ofl06trial.tgz
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.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
New features: variable stars, re-packed star catalogs (Hipparcos and
Tycho-2), improvements for plugins, scripting engine and search tool.
New version of the Satellites plug-in.
Sound support (needs qt4-phonon, not enabled in pkgsrc yet)
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
New features: Caldwell catalog for nebulae, re-packed star catalogs
(Hipparcos and Tycho-2), delta-T manager, star magnitude limit control,
updates textures of galaxies and nebulae and various small GUI changes.
The release has over 30 closed bugs in the core application and plugins.
from the announcement:
This release brings some interesting new features:
- New rendering engine (Now you can see shadows on planets surfaces).
- New key-binding engine (Now all key-bindings can be edited).
- Improvements to scripting engine.
- Improvements to DSO
- Improvements to search tool
- Improved accuracy for archaeo-astronomical events
There have also been a large number of bug fixes and GUI improvements.
We are strongly recommended resetting all Stellarium settings
if you upgrade your previous installation!
