Pkgsrc changes:
- Removed patches patch-aa, patch-ab and patch-ac (integrated upstream).
- Added explicit version requirements for glib and zlib.
- HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES had moved to a different location.
Changes since version 1.1.1:
============================
** Changes since version 1.1.3
* Add an implementation of xdp_generator_free() for users of the
libxdelta API. Previously there were no such users of the 1.x API,
but Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> has written a program for
providing delta operations on RPM files. See http://@@@
* The man page now documents return values.
** Changes since version 1.1.2
* Correct error message format for the case when gzread fails trying
to automatically decompress a corrupted GZIP file. The situation
itself--corrupt GZIP files--should be dealt with the -p (--pristine)
option, which disables GZIP file recognition. Reported by Ben
Escoto.
* Apply a patch from Klaus Dittrich for building on HPUX with the
native compiler. There is now a script called "contrib/build_hpux".
** Changes since version 1.1.1
* This code release is a distant fork of the 2.0 release. It will
hopefully be replaced.
* When 'patch' supplies its default TO file name recorded in the
delta, it still generates a unique file name to avoid overwriting an
existing copy. Use the 'xdelta info' command to see what file names
are contained in the delta.
* The code for writing patches to stdout was broken in the case where
gzip compression is used. Writing patches to stdout has therefore
been disabled. The problem is a limitation in the gzdopen/gzwrite
functions provided by zlib--you cannot determine how many bytes have
been written to the file descriptor without dup-ing the FD
beforehand and then lseek-ing afterwards, which does not work
correctly if the output file is not seekable.
* By default, Xdelta uses a hard-coded 16 byte block size. If you're
working with large files, try #undef XDELTA_HARDCODE_SIZE in
xdelta.h then use -s BLOCKSIZE (--blocksize=BLOCKSIZE), which should
be a power of 2.
* New test program in the 'test' subdirectory, which runs comparisons
against "diff --rcs -a" and also verifies the "xdelta patch"
command.
* Incorporate DJGPP patches from Richard Dawe <richdawe@bigfoot.com>.

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/xdlt112s.zip
* Updated xdelta(1) man page.
* Updated autoconf (2.50), automake (1.4-p4), libtool (1.4) scripts,
which includes updated config.guess and config.sub scripts.
* Correct some backward compatibility issues: strcmp() was not being
tested == 0 for formats older than 1.0.4.
* Update GLIB version requirement, now 1.2.8.
* We really need support for 64bit file sizes... perhaps the next
version?

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.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
This version is a complete rewrite of the previous pkgsrc version,
including a library, performance improvements on the algorithms used,
less memory usage. Also, it doesn't use gdbm any more.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
