Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
Reduce patches.

python 3 is strict about file encodings. After glib-mkenums was
translated from perl to python, build failures occur due to e.g.,
ISO-8859-1 characters in authors' names as reported by martin@ in
PR pkg/52631 for xfce4-gtk2-engines, but also causing build failures
for at least libgnome and libgnomeui.
Chritoph Reiter produced an elegant workaround, making use of the
open() function's error decoding "replace" option:
'replace' causes a replacement marker (such as '?') to be inserted
where there is malformed data.
which is applied here.

- Revert "Move gdbus-codegen users to py-glib2-tools by including
glib2/buildtools.mk" 1f764df
- while here change to TOOL_DEPENDS
- switch from py-glib2-tools to glib2-tools
glib-genmarshal and glib-menums have been ported to python. To keep
glib2 a python-free zone, these have been moved with gdbus-codegen
to py-glib2-tools.
Packages needing one of those tools to build can include
devel/glib2/buildtools.mk
The licence has been changed from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+.
A full changelog is available at:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/NEWS?h=2.54.1
gdesktopappinfo on Darwin, it's clearly half-baked and breaks critical
packages such as GTK, as well as being completely incompatible with
pkgsrc as it assumes all apps will be shipped as bundles (.app)
Patches mostly taken from Homebrew. Bump PKGREVISION.
Highlights include:
* OS X implementations of GContentType and GAppInfo have been added
* Memory leak fixes
* Minimal support for UUIDs has been added
* A new file attribute, G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_RECENT_MODIFIED has been added
to improve sorting of recent files
* glib-compile-resources grew a --generate-phony-targets flag
* GLib now installs a valgrind suppressions file for GLib and GIO
* glib-genmarshal and glib-mkenums have gained --output options
for better build system integration
* New API: g_utf8_make_valid
+ Many bug fixes and translation updates. For a full list see:

this package being broken on bulk builds leads to 3472 dependents being
broken, so commit anyway.
from mutek in PR pkg/51681
- grew a "gio" tool for the equivalent of ls, mv, mount, which also
builds on Windows. "gio tree" is quite nice.
- updated to Unicode 9.0.0.
- added structured logging.

Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
==================================
The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
This release corrects only this problem.
Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
==================================
* We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
* New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.
* other fixes

Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
==================================
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
* The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
have seen major improvements.
The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
files appear.
The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
* The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
you use the --strict option.
* The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
* GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
* The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
default handlers for a generic supertype.
* Bug fixes:
627285 inotify file monitor hardwired delay
