* The library and the iconv program now understand platform dependent aliases,
for better compatibility with the platform's own iconv_open function.
Examples: "646" on Solaris, "iso88591" on HP-UX, "IBM-1252" on AIX.
* For stateful encodings, when the input ends with a shift sequence followed
by invalid input, the iconv function now increments the input pointer past
the shift sequence before returning (size_t)(-1) with errno = EILSEQ. This
is also like GNU libc's iconv() behaves.
* The library exports a new function iconv_open_into() that stores the
conversion descriptor in pre-allocated memory, rather than allocating fresh
memory for it.
* Added CP1131 converter.
needs -liconv in order to satisfy linkage requirements. This is now
patterned after the approach taken with readline and termlib.
Examples on NetBSD for a package that includes only
gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk:
PREFER_NATIVE= yes
PREFER_PKGSRC= # empty
# This uses the native gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
PREFER_NATIVE= yes
PREFER_PKGSRC= iconv
# This uses the native gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
PREFER_NATIVE= yes
PREFER_PKGSRC= gettext
# This uses the pkgsrc gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
PREFER_NATIVE= yes
PREFER_PKGSRC= gettext iconv
# This uses the pkgsrc gettext and pkgsrc iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl -liconv"
PREFER_NATIVE= # empty
PREFER_PKGSRC= yes
# This uses the pkgsrc gettext and pkgsrc iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl -liconv"
PREFER_NATIVE= iconv
PREFER_PKGSRC= yes
# This uses the pkgsrc gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
PREFER_NATIVE= gettext
PREFER_PKGSRC= yes
# This uses the native gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
PREFER_NATIVE= gettext iconv
PREFER_PKGSRC= yes
# This uses the native gettext and native iconv, with:
# BUILDLINK_LDADD.gettext == "-lintl"
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).
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
GLIBC supports GNU libiconv's API. So don't depend on pkgsrc's
libiconv for it. This is normal: most other Linux distros don't
provide a libiconv package.
This was discussed on tech-pkg list over past two months. It has
helped a few users under Linux where they had some problems with
conflicts with their working iconv() support provided with libc
and the libiconv package.
This was okayed by maintainer, Rene Hexel.
This still needs some improvement. Some packages still try to
force libiconv usage even though not needed.
a GNU libiconv, whether it be builtin or not, and PREFER_{NATIVE,PKGSRC}
can be used to decide which iconv we use if USE_GNU_ICONV isn't defined.
On NetBSD, the native iconv implementation (if it exists) is considered
GNUish enough unless USE_GNU_ICONV is explicitly defined.
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.
