as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
under ${PREFIX} instead of being an absolute path.
So fix the references using RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR to be
${PREFIX}/${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}.
This should have no changes to use before.
Please note that the MESSAGE files in most cases are wrong in the
first place. We have automated mechanisms and could have an automated
message for explaining rc.d script usage. (This is something to do!)
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
curses.buildlink2.mk. This was wrong because we _really_ do want to
express that we want _n_curses when we include the buildlink2.mk file.
We should have a better way to say that the NetBSD curses doesn't
quite work well enough. In fact, it's far better to depend on ncurses
by default, and exceptionally note when it's okay to use NetBSD curses
for specific packages. We will look into this again in the future.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.

. New network interface to publish to clients the UPS status
. New master/server network code that is more fault tolerant
. Internationalization
. Use GNU getopt
. Logging on syslog
. Events logged in a file like APC's PowerChute
. Sync code removed: now only async processes are used
. Updated documentation (HTTP version)
. Bug fixes and enhancements: too many to tell them all
. no more powersc script, is has been remplaced with apccontrol
. In master/slave configurations, all masters and slaves
must be updated at the same time. Version 3.8.0 is not
compatible with versions prior to 3.8.0-pre4.
. Support for the Back-UPS Office series of UPSes
. Fixed dumb UPSes working with the Custom Simple cable.
. Correction of a buffer overflow on certain newer UPSes.
. More fault tolerant on startup in master/slave configuration.
. Additional STATUS variables (number of times on battery,
amount of time on batteries, time/date of last transfer to
batteries, apcupsd start time/date).
. apctest program for testing serial ports.
. Automatic notification of certain events by email.
. Detects Self Test and reports it as such rather than a
Power Failure.
. For SmartUPSes, apcupsd does a much better job of adapting
to the actual features of the UPS and is more efficient.
. Add Battery Runtime Calibration to apctest
. UPSNAME now sets upsname if given. Otherwise, apcupsd attempts to get name
from UPS, if not found, uses hostname, finally "default".
. Added Ambient Temperature and Humidity to multimon (Carl Erhorn)
A number of the configuration statements have changed since versions 3.6.2.
You should either take the new apcupsd.conf file and modify it, or update your
existing file. In general, we recommend starting with the new file.
If you have used a prior version of apcupsd, the CONTROL script file
(/sbin/powersc) has now been replaced by $SYSCONFDIR/apcupsd/apccontrol.
Consequently, the CONTROL configuration statement is obsolete. The following
configuration statements have been replaced by scripts called from
SYSCONDFIR/apcupsd/apccontrol, and thus are obsolete:
BATTCMD, LIMITCMN, LOADCMD, PWRCMD, REBOOTCMD, REMOTECMD, RETCMD, and TIMECMD.
If you use the master/slave networking code, please be aware that the
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
in pkg/10552. Changes from version 3.5.8:
Network is fully functional under non-threaded compile.
Possible fix for "pipe_master_status" calls on slaves.
Added 940-1524C smart signal cable support.
Added internationalization support. There is _only_ the support but
no current code is written for the intl package. It can be compiled
in, but intl strings have still to be translated (to be done in the
future).
Added new configuration options to reduce init time of daemon.
