by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
The Pathan project grew out of DecisionSoft's work on XMLScript, an
XML transformation language.
XPath was adopted as a node selection language by XMLScript when the
XPath specification was ratified by the W3C. DecisionSoft's XMLScript
processor is based on Xerces-C, a Document Object Model compliant XML
parser. Pathan therefore was designed from the base up to be fully
compatible with the Xerces parser.
Pathan 1 represents the open sourcing of the XPath component of
DecisionSoft's XMLScript processor. Pathan 1 features a full
implementation of the XPath 1.0 Specification. Pathan 1 implements
the W3C DOM Level 3 XPath Specification (Working Draft February 08
2002) providing a powerful and coherent interface between XPath and
DOM and hence a standardised interface with Xerces.
