Slightly based on wip/flex by Makoto Fujiwara and Juraj Lutter.
* version 2.6.2 released 2016-10-24
** flex internals
*** a segfalt involving yyrestart(NULL) has been fixed
*** flex should now handle quoting when mixed with m4 processing correctly
*** flex handles `[[' and `]]' correctly
*** flex no longer generates non-ANSI code
*** more compilation warnings were squashed in generated scanners
*** prevented a buffer overflow that could occur when input buffers were the exact wrong size
** test suite
*** input filenames on MSWindows are now calculated correctly
*** general code cleanups in a number of tests now make the test suite compile much more cleanly
** build system
*** the xz archive has been replaced with an lzip archive
*** a new option to configure --enable-warnings to encapsulate passing
of warning-related flags which is useful in testing flex
*** make indent now works for out of source builds
*** Portability warnings when generating Makefile.in files are now suppressed; they were just noise and the use of GNU extensions in Makefile.{am,in,} was intentional and well known.
** bugs
*** resolved gh#67
** new sv translation from the translation project
* version 2.6.1 released 2016-03-01
** flex resources
*** The flex project is now hosted at github. Consider this a "period of transition". In particular, you should start at https://github.com/westes/flex for the flex codebase, issue tracking and pull requests.
*** New releases of flex are to be found at https://github.com/westes/flex/releases.
** flex internals
*** Flex now uses more modern and more standard names for variable types. There's more work to be done on that front yet, though.
*** A number of compiler warnings have been remedied.
*** Line directives should now work as expected and be absent when that is expected.
** test suite
*** When running the test suite, c++ files are compiled with the c++ header inside the flex distribution, rather than relying on the build system's flex header , which might not be installed yet or which might be out of date with respect to what flex tests expect.
*** Some portability fixes in the test suite such as opening files for reading in binary mode
** Building flex
*** The file src/scan.c asdistributed with flex source is now built with the current version of flex. Occasionally this had to be done manually to pick up new flex features. It's now just a part of flex's build system.
*** The pdf version of the manual is no longer distributed with flex, although if you have the texinfo package installed, you can still build it.
*** lots of general build system cleanup
*** the build system tries a bit harder to find libtoolize and texi2dvi.
*** When help2man and texi2dvi are missing, the error messages are now much more helpful.
** bug fixes
*** resolved github issues #53, #54, #55, #61.
*** Resolved sf bugs #128, #129, #155, #160, #184, #187, #195.
----------------------------
Recent commit update to 2.6.1 has problem, reverting now, thanks joerg and wiz
- Bison is required to build without pre-generated files, but
Bison needs flex, thus cyclic-dependency problem
- Missing to include gettext-tool/buildlink3.mk

(pkgsrc changes)
- Githubify
- pre-configure: stage set for ./autogen.sh
- Add patch-src_Makefile.am to generate parse.h before main.c is
compiled (MAKE_JOBS_SAFE = no without this patch)
- Drop (or convert) patches
patch-src_filter.c -- upstream taken
patch-src_Makefile.in -- file is gone
patch-src_Makefile.am converted to the same name, different purpose
patch-tests_Makefile.in converted to patch-tests_Makefile.am
- Add BUILD_DEPENDS+= help2man-[0-9]*:../../converters/help2man
While here, send patches upstream.
Changes:
* version 2.6.0 released 2015-11-17
** User Visible Changes
*** C++ scanners now use references instead of pointers. See the manual for details.
*** A number of compiler warnings were addressed, so flex generated scanners should be quieter under compiler warning scenarios.
*** Allow error reporting routines to accept varying number of arguments
*** Removed deprecated 'register' storage class specifier
*** Changeed output formats from octal to hexadecimal
*** check limits before using array index cclp; resolves sf-166
*** Suppress clang warning about empty @param paragraph; resolves sf#158
*** Fixed malloc/realloc replacement, resolves sf bug#151.
*** Adjusted buffer sizes on ia64.
*** various documentation and code clean up fixes: resolves sf bugs #167, #168, among other patches.
** Flex Internals
*** flex is now organized into subdirectories. This keeps the tree neater at the top level and puts like things near each other and unlike things away from each other.
*** The test suite has been reorganized and is now run with the parallel test suite harness from automake.
*** Cleaned up the automake parts of the build system to better reflect what automake does on its own. Also added a call to libtoolize in autogen.sh because autoreconf gets confused without a prior run of libtoolize.
*** po/Makefile now includes a rule to fetch the latest translations from the translation project. "make -f po/Makefile getpo" from the top level of the flex tree will fetch the files.
*** New da translation from the translation project

No changes made to these distinfo files.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Now, unwanted configure script timestamp update issue is resolved, and unwanted
documentation regeneration will not be happened anymore.
TeX related tools are not required in any case.
Additionally, PDF document is already in distibution, so no reason to prevent
installation.
Bump PKGREVISION.
* flex version 2.5.39
** no user visible changes in this release
* version 2.5.38 released 2014-02-14
** internationalization
*** add sr translation from the translation project
*** update da, es, ko, nl, pt_BR, ro, ru, sv, tr, vi, zh_CN translations from the translation project
*** rename zh_tw to its proper zh_TW name

already installed
** New translations from the translation project: de, fi, pl, vi
packages needed to build pdf documentation, since there is no
configure option to disable it that I can see. If this leads to
problems, we'll have to disable it with a patch.
* version 2.5.36
** various portability fixes that quiet compiler warnings on 64-bit
hosts
** various manual fixes, including correcting the name of a %option and
updating some simple examples to use ANSI C syntax

persisting when they should not persist
** improvements to the test suite so it behaves better when linking
compiled files
** new translations from the translation project: ca, da, es, fi, fr,
ga, ko, pt_br, ro, ru, sv, tr, zh_cn
** the flex distribution is now built with automake 1.10.1 and automake
2.61
"This is a Hail Mary situation. It seems to work."
It doesn't reliably on NetBSD-5 or -current; namely, it makes flex
spit out a "Broken pipe" when presented with an input file on stdin.
Finding the problem area and suggesting a workaround kudos mlelstv.
There are better ways to fix it properly, which will be employed
in Due Time.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
* fixed bug that prevented flex from accepting certain comments in the
scanner file (resolves bugs #1849809 and #1849805)
* fix bug that prevented headers for all functions from being generated
(resolves bug #1628314)
* change yy_size_t to be size_t (resolves bug #1849812)
* new de, nl, pl, pt_br, vi translations from the translation project
* flex now provides for a libfl_pic.a compiled with position indep. code.
* introduce yylex_init_extra (c.f. manual)
* pattern language expanded (c.f. manual)
* introduce %option extra-type="your_type *"
* parse multiple short concatenated options
* better checking after yyalloc/yyrealloc
* Expose YY_BUF_SIZE in the header file.
* better escape of filenames with special characters
* memory leaks were plugged
* support case-insensitive patterns
* POSIX character classes may be negated in patterns
* patterns may now use set difference, union operators
* c++ scanner updates
* updated translations
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
