USE_TOOLS+=perl was necessary. Therefore, added a new class of tools,
TOOLS_FAIL, which records the call in a .warnings file, which is later
printed to the user. At least when the tool is first called in the
"configure" phase; I didn't test other phases.
itools, intltool, diff3, sdiff, msgmerge
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=itools to a package Makefile will cause the
tool-directory versions of imake, makedepend, mkdirhier and xmkmf
to point to the ones from the devel/nbitools package.
This change will remove the need for nbitools/buildlink3.mk, which
currently does a bit of hackery to force the "right" imake tools to
be used by packages that need it.
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=intltool to a package Makefile will cause the
local versions of intltool-* inside ${WRKSRC} to be replaced by
copies from the textproc/intltool package. If "intltool" is not
specified as a tool, then we create "broken" intltool-* tools in
the tools directory to help highlight hidden dependencies on the
intltool package.
In addition, modify the tools framework so that if "perl" is not
specified as a tool, then we create a "broken" perl tool in the
tools directory for the same reason as for "intltool".
These two changes together will remove the need for
intltools/buildlink3.mk and should also catch all cases where the
sources' intltools may have been silently used because perl was
found on the system.
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=diff3, USE_TOOLS+=sdiff, or USE_TOOLS+=msgmerge
to a package Makefile will cause the corresponding tool to be pulled
into the tools directory.
These are convenience tools to help simplify dependencies for some
packages.
for many "core" modules, UTF-8 and Unicode bugfixes, and ithreads
bugfixes.
The major changes are in the pkgsrc infrastructure to handle Perl and
Perl modules. All pkgsrc-installed Perl modules are now installed in
"vendor" directories, and the perl interpreter has been modifed to
search for libraries in the following order: site, vendor, perl. The
Perl library is stored in a directory that is named for the Perl ABI
version associated with the Perl release, so any updates of Perl to
newer versions can be done "in-place" as long as Perl ABI version
remains the same. All Perl scripts and man pages are stored in
locations that won't conflict between site, vendor, and perl modules,
and a new utility perllink(1) now manages symlinks to those scripts
and man pages under the usual ${LOCALBASE}/bin and ${LOCALBASE}/man/man1.
PERL5_SITEPREFIX may be set to the prefix where local, site-specific
modules will be installed, e.g. PERL5_SITEPREFIX=/usr/local. Note
that modules installed here are completely unmanaged by pkgsrc.
Update the buildlink and tool dependencies on perl to require perl>=5.8.7
to reflect the new locations for Perl modules and the Perl shared
library.
Plan:
(1) Change USE_PERL5=build into USE_TOOLS+=perl.
(2) Change all other USE_PERL5 into including perl5/buildlink3.mk.
Possibly, for packages that don't actually build anything with perl,
but merely require it for the perl interpreter, we can instead do:
USE_TOOLS+= perl
TOOLS_DEPMETHOD.perl= DEPENDS
but this is more verbose than simply including the perl5/buildlink3.mk
file.
Move the PERL5_REQD computation into a lang/perl5/version.mk file,
and only do the USE_PERL5 logic in bsd.pkg.use.mk if we're not using
the new tools framework. This consolidates all of the perl-handling
into two places -- lang/perl5 and mk/tools/perl.mk.
in mk/tools/perl.mk since many packages expect to be able to use the
variables defined in vars.mk, but those variables can only be defined
if PERL5 is correctly defined, and that is only true after it is set
here.
the "TOOL" variables won't be properly defined for the top-leve make
after returning from making the install-depends target if we're using
the pkgsrc-supplied tool. Define the "TOOL" variable unconditionally
instead.
