Based on work in pkgsrc-wip.
I've had the opportunity to test this in a NetBSD-8 bulk build - it seems
the package is now fixed. Hopefully.
The 3.0.x release series is considered for long-term support by upstream.
Notably for pkgsrc, this means it will be the last release series that
supports older compilers.
Note that VLC now depends on Qt5 instead of Qt4. Various config flags have
been tweaked (enabled/disabled) to match what other vendors (mainly FreeBSD)
are doing. I have also added an alsa package option.
The full list of upstream changes is probably too long to list.
Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
Includes significant security fixes allowing code execution via
a crafted subtitles file (fixes CVE-2017-8310, CVE-2017-8311,
CVE-2017-8312, CVE-2017-8313)
pkgsrc changes:
pull in <atomic> in a C++11 case rather than clang case,
it's a C++11 header. however I couldn't build with -std=c++11 for
other reasons.
it builds and runs clang 4.0, but the mkv plugin dies on an
undefined reference.
