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".
in via USE_TEXINFO=yes), build it without locale support. This makes
it easier to "bootstrap" the installation of a pkgsrc compiler without
a lot of additional indirect build dependencies on gettext, libiconv,
libtool, etc.
built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
bumps to correctly sort before "2.14.1", and "2.14.1.1", and so on.)
Follows is a list of additions to the "NEWS" files since 2.13. The "NEWS"
files were apparently not updated for "2.13.2.1" however, so all of this
is not really new. The "--with-sysroot" and "--with-lib-path" configure
options for "ld" are truly new, though, and the package now takes advantage
of "--with-lib-path" to prevent picking up crud from "${PREFIX}/lib", to
better support using this "ld" with which to build pkgsrc packages.
----- binutils/binutils/NEWS -----
* Added --info switch to objcopy and strip.
* Support for Vitesse IQ2000 added by Red Hat.
* Added 'S' encoding to strings to allow the display of 8-bit characters.
* Added --prefix-symbols=<text>, --prefix-sections=<text> and
--prefix-alloc-sections=<text> to objcopy.
* readelf can handle the extensions to the DWARF2 spec used by the Unified
Parallel C compiler.
* BFD no longer declares a "boolean" type, to avoid clashes with other
headers that declare the same. Users of BFD should replace boolean,
false and true, with int, 0 and 1, or define their own boolean type.
* Support for IP2K added by Denis Chertykov.
----- binutils/gas/NEWS -----
* Added support for MIPS32 Release 2.
* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
* Support for Intel's iWMMXt processor (an ARM variant) added.
* An assembler test generator has been contributed and an example file that
uses it (gas/testsuite/gas/all/test-gen.c and test-exmaple.c).
* Support for SH2E added.
* GASP has now been removed.
* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
* Support for the Ubicom IP2xxx microcontroller added.
----- binutils/ld/NEWS -----
* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
* Added --with-sysroot configure switch to specify a target system root, for
linking against a target filesystem image.
* Added --accept-unknown-linker-format to restore old linker behaviour (pre
2.14) of silently accepting and linking in any files in an unknown binary
file format.
* Added --no-omagic to undo the effects of the -N option.
* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
* Added --with-lib-path configure switch to specify default value for
LIB_PATH.
* ARM port to QNX operating system added by Graeme Peterson.
* IP2K support added by Denis Chertykov.
argument of "--encoding", to help it to look for wide strings; plus
a few other obscure additions. Most importantly, "gas" now generates
correct code when used with gcc-3.x at high optimization levels.
