Refactored bootstrap.mk with no semantic changes in this commit. I
will soon upload some of bootkits derived from wip/ghc to LOCAL_PORTS
but only for safe ones. Here's a note about safety:
* NetBSD/amd64, FreeBSD/i386, Darwin/ppc [SAFE]: These kits were built
on my secured private machines under my exclusive control. I'm
planning to upload them.
* Linux/amd64 [UNSAFE]: I built my kit for this one on a machine
shared with my co-workers with root access. I won't upload it.
* NetBSD/i386 [UNSAFE]: I built my kit for this one on an Amazon EC2
instance (although it's private). I won't upload it either.
For other developers, please do not upload any bootkits derived from
unsafe ones mentioned above, because they have some degree of
possibility of being compromised. And please keep in mind that
machines shared with someone or on a cloud hosting service should be
avoided for building bootkits.
We don't want our bootkits to have a run-time dependency on libgcc. In
fact GHC's implementation of Haskell exception handling does not
depend on libgcc's facilities so it is attractive to do the same for
"normal" build... but we can't. This is because Haskell programs may
call C functions via FFI, and those C functions may call C++ functions
in turn, possibly in a different shared library.
But on some platforms, gcc automagically inserts a dependency on a
shared libgcc when -lpthread is given, which is seemingly unavoidable.
The problem only occurs when $(WhatGccIsCalled) is an absolute path to
the "real" gcc (e.g. "/usr/bin/gcc"), which happens if we run
${WRKSRC}/configure with an option something like
"--with-gcc=/usr/bin/gcc". As long as we use "--with-gcc" with a
command name (i.e. ${CC}, not ${CCPATH}), everything works fine
without any problems.
This is because dtrace(1) executes cpp in a rather weird way: it calls
execvp("/usr/bin/gcc", argv) with argv set to {"gcc", "-E", "-xc",
...}, not {"/usr/bin/gcc", "-E", "-xc", ...}.
When GCC is called that way, it needs to find platform-specific
subprograms by walking through ${PATH}. And if it sees an executable
named "gcc" which in fact isn't actually gcc, it gets confused and
dies with an error:
% cat dtrace-emu.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char *argv[] = {"gcc", "-E", NULL};
execvp("/usr/bin/gcc", argv);
return 0;
}
% gcc dtrace-emu.c -o /tmp/gcc
% /tmp/gcc
powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: no input files
% PATH=/tmp/gcc /tmp/gcc
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec '/tmp/powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1':
No such file or directory
And even if the problem should really be addressed, it should be done
in the wrapper framework because dtrace(1) is actually a part of
compiler toolchain.
The "bootstrap" target now prints a message about run-time
dependencies of the bootkit you've just built, something like:
==========================================================================
Done creating ghc-7.6.3-boot-x86_64-unknown-netbsd.tar.xz
in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/ghc7/work
Now you can copy it into /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/ to use it as your
bootstrap kit. You may want to take a backup in case "lintpkgsrc -r"
removes it.
Your bootstrap kit has the following run-time dependencies:
* curses: native (version/variant unknown)
* iconv: native (version/variant unknown)
==========================================================================
The installed GHC has already been working without the ld hack. These
changes should only affect the package build so revbump isn't needed.
Makefile (CONFIGURE_ENV):
Refactored with no semantic changes.
Makefile (post-patch):
${WRKSRC}/libraries/base/configure.ac is patched too.
Makefile (CHECK_SHLIBS_SUPPORTED):
Removed the variable as the package now supports it.
Makefile (CHECK_SHLIBS_SKIP):
Added to skip checks for dynamic Haskell libraries. See the comment
for details.
bootstrap.mk (pre-configure):
Use ${CONFIGURE_ENV} when configuring the stage-0 compiler. See the
comment for details.
patches/patch-libraries_base_configure.ac:
Added to prevent {CPP,LD}FLAGS from being clobbered. See the comment
for details. I will send the patch to the upstream in a few days or
weeks (or even months, depending on my busyness).
* Formerly we were passing
"--with-curses-includes=${BUILDLINK_PREFIX.curses}/include" to
"${WRKSRC}/libraries/terminfo/configure". This is problematic
because pkgsrc devel/ncurses installs headers into
${PREFIX}/include/ncurses, not ${PREFIX}/include, while ghc-cabal
expects "ncurses.h" and "term.h" in ${PREFIX}/include (because we
said so) and then it emits an error. The fix is to use
${BUILDLINK_INCDIRS.curses} instead of "include". Note that this
requires my recent changes to ../../mk/curses.buildlink3.mk (r1.21)
* The "bootstrap" target now uses buildlink wrapper not to pick up
random libraries which happened to be in "${PREFIX}/lib". Bootstrap
binary kits should be linked with a predictable set of libraries.
* The "bootstrap" target now automatically runs through the wrapper
phase. You no longer have to run "${MAKE} patch" manually.
Add experimental auto extension registory support with PHP_AUTO_REGISTER_EXT=yes
(=no by default).
proposed/discussed was happened, but remain inconclusive and not approved.
All backends have been changed to use the MC asm printer and support for the non MC one has been removed.
Clang can now successfully self-host itself on Linux/Sparc64 and on FreeBSD/Sparc64.
LLVM now assumes the assembler supports .loc for generating debug line numbers. The old support for printing the debug line info directly was only used by llc and has been removed.
All inline assembly is parsed by the integrated assembler when it is enabled. Previously this was only the case for object-file output. It is now the case for assembly output as well. The integrated assembler can be disabled with the -no-integrated-as option.
llvm-ar now handles IR files like regular object files. In particular, a regular symbol table is created for symbols defined in IR files, including those in file scope inline assembly.
LLVM now always uses cfi directives for producing most stack unwinding information.
The prefix for loop vectorizer hint metadata has been changed from llvm.vectorizer to llvm.loop.vectorize. In addition, llvm.vectorizer.unroll metadata has been renamed llvm.loop.interleave.count.
Some backends previously implemented Atomic NAND(x,y) as x & ~y. Now all backends implement it as ~(x & y), matching the semantics of GCC 4.4 and later.
* Disable SCTP support under NetBSD.

IANA Data 2014j
JDK 7u76 contains IANA time zone data version 2014j. For more information, refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
New Features and Changes
SSLv3 is disabled by default
Starting with JDK 7u75 release, the SSLv3 protocol (Secure Socket Layer) has been deactivated and is not available by default. See the java.security.Security property jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms in <JRE_HOME>/lib/security/java.security file.
If SSLv3 is absolutely required, the protocol can be reactivated by removing "SSLv3" from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property in the java.security file or by dynamically setting this Security property to "true" before JSSE is initialized.
It should be noted that SSLv3 is obsolete and should no longer be used.
Changes to Java Control Panel
Starting with 7u75 release, SSLv3 protocol is removed from Java Control Panel Advanced options.
If the user needs to use SSLv3 for applications, re-enable it manually as follows:
Enable SSLv3 protocol on JRE level: as described in the previous section.
Enable SSLv3 protocol on deploy level: edit the deployment.properties file and add the following:
deployment.security.SSLv3=true
a new patch to include a -pkgsrc-runtime compilation option. This option is
needed to compile devel/pcre-ocaml due to buildlink shenanigans
(see http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2014/12/18/msg020800.html )

Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for
extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a
general-purpose, stand-alone language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with
powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and
extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from
bytecodes, and has automatic memory management, making it ideal for
configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
Lua is a language engine that you can embed into your application.
This means that, besides syntax and semantics, Lua has an API that
allows the application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to
extend Lua with C functions. In this sense, Lua can be regarded as a
language framework for building domain-specific languages.
Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI
C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation
goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost.
The result is a fast language engine with small footprint, making it
ideal in embedded systems too.

Note that the correct way to solve this is to do this in the Darwin
specific config files, but until that has landed, this at least fixes the
build.
* -Wno-new-returns-null is not currently known to installed clang on fbsd, make it optional

NEWS for Mercury 14.01.1
------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
* The function string.string/1 and related functions now handle version
arrays properly.
* Fix resource leaks in dir fold predicates.
* The mfilterjavac program is now generated with the correct file extension
on Windows.
* A problem that caused compilation of the Boehm GC to fail on 64-bit
openSUSE 13.1 systems has been fixed. (Github issue #14)
* The documentation now builds correctly on Cygwin systems.
* The script configure_mingw_cross now supports 64-bit Windows targets.
* We have added workarounds for problems with (arguably broken)
system headers on MinGW and MinGW64 systems.
* The MinGW port now builds in the absence of POSIX threads library.
* Low-level C parallel grades now work on Windows instead of crashing
at startup. (Bug #338)
* We now use thread-safe alternatives to strerror(). (Bug #340)
* We have added the configure option --enable-gc-mmap.
* We configure Boehm GC to use mmap in threaded grades on Linux to avoid
conflicts with glibc malloc leading to memory corruption.
* A problem that caused string.format/[23] to sometimes return incorrect
results when formatting floats with the 'g' conversion specifier has
been fixed. This bug only affected the non-C backends. (Bug #342)
* string.format now handles special float values (i.e. nan, inf, and -inf)
correctly with the non-C backends.
* A bug that caused io.write_float/[34] to append ".0" to float special values
has been fixed. This bug affected the C and C# backends.
* In the C# and Java grades, the predicate string.from_char_list now
implements the documented behaviour for input lists containing null
characters (i.e. it throws an exception).
Likewise, for string.from_reverse_char_list in the C# grade.
* We have fixed a problem that caused `mmc --make' to attempt to install
libraries in non-existent grades.
Changes to the Mercury compiler:
* The compiler now supports stripping of executables in a separate
post-link step. The new options, --strip-executable-command,
--strip-executable-shared-flags and --strip-executable-static-flags
are used to control this.
(This is now the default on Mac OS X systems.)
NEWS for Mercury 14.01
----------------------
Changes to the Mercury language:
* Repeated type variables may now occur in the heads of type class instances.
For example, instance declarations like the following are now allowed:
:- instance foo(list(T), map(T, T)).
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have added the function cord.condense/1.
* The following functions in the standard library's cord module now use
constant stack space: foldl/3, foldl_pred/4.
* We have added the following predicates to the array and version_array
modules: is_empty/1, all_true/2 and all_false/2.
* We have added the following predicates and functions to the map module:
det_min_key/1, det_max_key/1, foldl2_values/6 and foldl3_values/8.
* We have added the following predicates to the list module: foldr2/6,
foldr3/8, det_take/3 and map_foldr/5.
* We have added the following predicates to the bag module: foldl/4 and
foldl2/6.
* We have added the following predicates to the assoc_list module:
foldl2_values/6 and foldl3_values/8.
* We have added the following predicates and functions to the pqueue module:
is_empty/1, peek/3, peek_key/2, peek_value/2, det_peek/3, merge/3,
det_peek_key/1 and det_peek_value/1.
* We have added the predicate bimap.equal/2.
* We have added the following predicates to the int module: fold_up3/9 and
fold_down3/9.
Changes to the Mercury compiler:
* On Mac OS X systems the compiler is now configured use the version of the
host system as the default value for the deployment target.
A new configuration option, `--with-macosx-deployment-target', allows
an alternative value to be selected at configuration time.
Portability improvements:
* We have made the implementation compatible with GCC 4.8 and Visual Studio
2013.
* We have made the implementation compatible with OS X 10.9.
Changes to the extras distribution:
* We've added a library that provides support for accessing the function
trail from Mercury code.
It has the unfortunate property that wrong configs seem to tend to
drop to the debugger while building, which hangs bulk builds and needs
to be masked. However, mucking with configurations isn't all that
difficult provided you can test them, and many that could be added
will probably just work.
(If we decide we want the restrictions here after all so modules fail
up front, which isn't completely useless, they should at least match
the ones on the parent package.)
Python 3.3.6 was released on October 11, 2014.
Python 3.3.6 includes fixes for a few of our previously added patches,
as well as other important security-related fixes. Local changes:
rename the configure patch, remove now-included patches.

Today we announce Go 1.4, the fifth major stable release of Go,
arriving six months after our previous major release Go 1.3. It
contains a small language change, support for more operating systems
and processor architectures, and improvements to the tool chain
and libraries. As always, Go 1.4 keeps the promise of compatibility,
and almost everything will continue to compile and run without
change when moved to 1.4. For the full details, see the Go 1.4
release notes.
The most notable new feature in this release is official support
for Android. Using the support in the core and the libraries in
the golang.org/x/mobile repository, it is now possible to write
simple Android apps using only Go code. At this stage, the support
libraries are still nascent and under heavy development. Early
adopters should expect a bumpy ride, but we welcome the community
to get involved.
The language change is a tweak to the syntax of for-range loops.
You may now write "for range s {" to loop over each item from s,
without having to assign the value, loop index, or map key. See
the release notes for details.
The go command has a new subcommand, go generate, to automate the
running of tools to generate source code before compilation. For
example, it can be used to automate the generation of String methods
for typed constants using the new stringer tool. For more information,
see the design document.
Most programs will run about the same speed or slightly faster in
1.4 than in 1.3; some will be slightly slower. There are many
changes, making it hard to be precise about what to expect. See
the release notes for more discussion.
And, of course, there are many more improvements and bug fixes.
In case you missed it, a few weeks ago the sub-repositories were
moved to new locations. For example, the go.tools packages are now
imported from "golang.org/x/tools". See the announcement post for
details.
This release also coincides with the project's move from Mercurial
to Git (for source control), Rietveld to Gerrit (for code review),
and Google Code to Github (for issue tracking and wiki). The move
affects the core Go repository and its sub-repositories. You can
find the canonical Git repositories at go.googlesource.com, and
the issue tracker and wiki at the golang/go GitHub repo.
Guile has had multiple versions in pkgsrc because of compatibility
problems, starting with 1.4. Currently, 1.8 is the stable version and
2.0 the new version in pkgsrc, even though in the regular world 1.8 is
old and 2.0 is stable. As far as I know, no one uses guile 1.6 any
more, and it has no depending packages in pkgsrc (tex2page was the
last one).
* Switch to GCC 4.9.2 based.
* binutils of NetBSD 7.99 is modern enough, and use binutils in base.
Fix build under NetBSD/amd64 7.99.1 with this workaround.
Also: general patch refresh
Upstream release notes:
Mono 3.10.0 is a bugfix release with a few features.
Highlights
Implemented System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.
Uri now implements the .NET 4.5 behavior, it can be reverted to
the old behavior in the same way by setting the System.Uri::s_IriParsing
static field to false.
Performance
Remove unnecessary locking from core metadata parsing functions.
Avoid cache thrashing of locals array when looping over enumerator.
Known Issues
The OSX packages have an invalid libgdiplus library that affects
users of System.Drawing that requires it to work.
This specially affects Xamarin.Mac users that fit the following criteria:
Uses Xamarin.Mac Classic (Unified is unaffected).
Uses the subsets of System.Drawing that use libgdiplus.dylib internally
- System.Drawing.RectangleF, PointF, Colors are unaffected
- System.Drawing.Bitmap, and font for example are affected
The symptom of the problem is your application failing with:
“System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by
the type initializer for
System.Drawing.GDIPlus —> System.Exception: GdiplusStartup”

not generated due to up-to-data inputs. Fixes#23022.
Add KeepDuplicates etc. to 4.0 as internal. Fixes#20961.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mono 3.8.0 has 711 commits since the last release.
This is the work of 61 contributors since May 28. 58 bugs were fixed.
Highlights
Major performance and scalability improvements across the the whole runtime.
Finished the Windows 64 port.
Debugger wire protocol optimized for usb connections.
Debugger
Updated wire protocol better handles high latency connections such
as those found when doing USB debugging.
Client library now aggressively caches information and batches
requests. Under one test scenario single stepping packets
transmitted dropped from 2233 to only 16, with the latency going
from seconds to 20 milliseconds.
Performance
The JIT now better handles long remainders by powers of two,
generating significantly better code.
Over 10x faster code is generated for delegates that are only
invoked once. C# features such as async and LINQ produce a lot of
those delegates, so this improvement will impact everyone.
Improved alias analysis can now handle second order aliases and
eliminate null checks.
The runtime now has a concurrently readable hashtable that can
makes reflection heavy workloads significantly faster and more scalable.
Garbage Collection
Optimized one of the core data structures of the garbage collector;
should result in 5-10% reduction in collection times.

Instructions to disable SSL v3.0 in Oracle JDK and JRE
Oracle recommends that users and developers disable use of the SSLv3 protocol. Please follow the Instructions to disable SSL v3.0 in Oracle JDK and JRE.
Change in javax.smartcardio.Card.disconnect(boolean reset) method behavior
Prior to the JDK 8u20 and JDK 7u72 releases, the javax.smartcardio.Card.disconnect(boolean reset) method had inverted logic for the 'reset' boolean value passed to it. The card was reset upon a disconnect if false was passed to it and vice versa. Starting with JDK 7u72 and JDK 8u20, the correct behavior as per API documentation has been implemented.
In order to provide backwards compatibility to users who rely on the old behavior, a new system property has been introduced. The following command-line option can be used to enforce the old broken behavior:
-Dsun.security.smartcardio.invertCardReset=true
This property is set by default for 7u72 and later JDK 7 update releases. By default, no behavioral change will be noticed in this area for JDK 7 update releases.
Also the following command-line option can be used to enforce the new correct behavior:
-Dsun.security.smartcardio.invertCardReset=false
This is default for 8u20 and later JDK 8 update releases. In future Java releases, the property will be ignored/disabled and default disconnect method behavior will be as specified by API.

GUILE, GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extension, is a library
that implements the Scheme language plus various convenient facilities.
It's designed so that you can link it into an application or utility to
make it extensible. Our plan is to link this library into all GNU programs
that call for extensibility.
This is guile 2.0, the current stable version.
The hope is that backward compatibility will be sufficient for us
not to need to import every new stable version as a separate package.

ok bsiegert@
also upstream changelog):
Language features:
- Attributes and extension nodes
- Generative functors
- Module aliases
* Alternative syntax for string literals {id|...|id} (can break comments)
- Separation between read-only strings (type string) and read-write byte
sequences (type bytes). Activated by command-line option -safe-string.
Build system for the OCaml distribution:
- Use -bin-annot when building.
- Use GNU make instead of portable makefiles.
- Updated build instructions for 32-bit Mac OS X on Intel hardware.
Shedding weight:
* Removed Camlp4 from the distribution, now available as third-party software.
* Removed Labltk from the distribution, now available as a third-party library.
Type system:
* Keep typing of pattern cases independent in principal mode
- Allow opening a first-class module or applying a generative functor
in the body of a generative functor. Allow it also in the body of
an applicative functor if no types are created
* Module aliases are now typed in a specific way, which remembers their
identity. In particular this changes the signature inferred by
"module type of"
- Slight change in the criterion to distinguish private
abbreviations and private row types: create a private abbreviation for
closed objects and fixed polymorphic variants.
* Compare first class module types structurally rather than
nominally. Value subtyping allows module subtyping as long as the internal
representation is unchanged.
Compilers:
- More aggressive constant propagation, including float and
int32/int64/nativeint arithmetic. Constant propagation for floats
can be turned off with option -no-float-const-prop, for codes that
change FP rounding modes at run-time.
- New back-end optimization pass: common subexpression elimination (CSE).
(Reuses results of previous computations instead of recomputing them.)
- New back-end optimization pass: dead code elimination.
(Removes arithmetic and load instructions whose results are unused.)
- Optimization of sequences of string patterns
- Experimental native code generator for AArch64 (ARM 64 bits)
- Optimization of integer division and modulus by constant divisors
- Add "-open" command line flag for opening a single module before typing
* "-o" now sets module name to the output file name up to the first "."
(it also applies when "-o" is not given, i.e. the module name is then
the input file name up to the first ".")
* better sharing of structured constants
- new flag to keep locations in cmi files
- issue warning 3 when referring to a value marked with
the [@@ocaml.deprecated] attribute
- a new format implementation based on GADTs
* Constant exception constructors no longer allocate
- avoid unnecessary boxing in let
- Better compilation of optional arguments with default values
- ocamlopt -opaque option for incremental native compilation
Toplevel interactive system:
- New "#show_*" directives
Runtime system:
- New configure option "-no-naked-pointers" to improve performance by
avoiding page table tests during block darkening and the marking phase
of the major GC. In this mode, all out-of-heap pointers must point at
things that look like OCaml values: in particular they must have a valid
header. The colour of said headers should be black.
- Fixed bug in native code version of [caml_raise_with_string] that could
potentially lead to heap corruption.
- Blocks initialized by [CAMLlocal*] and [caml_alloc] are now filled with
[Val_unit] rather than zero.
- Fixed a major performance problem on large heaps (~1GB) by making heap
increments proportional to heap size by default
- Structural equality treats exception specifically
- efficient comparison/indexing of exceptions
- avoid using unsafe C library functions (strcpy, strcat, sprintf)
- An ISO C99-compliant C compiler and standard library is now assumed.
(Plus special exceptions for MSVC.) In particular, emulation code for
64-bit integer arithmetic was removed, the C compiler must support a
64-bit integer type.
Standard library:
* Add new modules Bytes and BytesLabels for mutable byte sequences.
- add List.sort_uniq and Set.of_list
- a faster version of "raise" which does not maintain the backtrace
- support "Unix.kill pid Sys.sigkill" under Windows
- speed improvement for Buffer
- efficient creation of uninitialized float arrays
- Improve documentation regarding finalisers and multithreading
- Trigger warning 3 for all values marked as deprecated in the documentation.

New Features and Changes
New Java Control Panel option to disable sponsors
Currently, to disable sponsor offers at the time of installation, the user can de-select the option during installation or can pass SPONSORS=0 as a commandline option.
In this release, a new Java Control Panel(JCP) option to disable sponsors is available. To use this option, go to JCP's "Advanced" tab, and check or uncheck "Suppress sponsor offers when updating Java".
This option is applicable to 32 and 64 bit Windows operating systems.
New JAXP processing limit property - maxElementDepth
A new property, maxElementDepth, is added to provide applications the ability to set limit on maximum element depth in an xml file that they parse. This may be helpful for applications that may use too much resources when processing an xml file with excessive element depth.
Name: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/maxElementDepth
Definition: Limit the maximum element depth
Value: A positive integer. 0 is treated as no limit. Negative numbers are treated as 0.
Defaule value: 0
System property: jdk.xml.maxElementDepth

The system property org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass is used to configure the system-wide/singleton ORB. The handling of this system property was changed in the 7u55 release to require that the system wide/singleton ORB be visible to the system class loader.
In this release, the handling of this system property has been reverted to match the behavior found in JDK versions prior to 7u55 release, i.e. the singleton ORB is once again located using the thread context class loader of the first thread, to call the no-argument ORB.init method. The change is made to support applications which depend on this behavior.
Note that this change is applicable to 8u20, 7u65, 6u85 and 5.0u75 releases. For JDK 9, the new behavior, where the system wide/singleton ORB needs to be visible to the system class loader, will continue.

Synopsis: JAF initialization in SAAJ clashing with the one in javax.mail
After initialization of SAAJ components, the javax.mail library may fail to work under certain circumstances, which in turn could break the javax.mail's JAF setup.
A possible workaround is to re-add the javax.mail handler before using javax.mail API:
MailcapCommandMap mailMap = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap();
mailMap.addMailcap("multipart/mixed;;x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed");
