packaging changes:
- switch to github for distfile
- switch from configure to qmake
- depend on libusb1 and zlib (and add pkg-config as a tool)
- drop patches to configure
- add patches to fix portability issues in qmake support
upstream changes (No NEWS provided, but skimming git log):
- drop autoconf
- retire some formats
- Update standards to c++17, Qt >= 5.12, MSVC >= 2017
- lots of bugfixes and minor improvements
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
This switches to qt5 (from qt4).
Upstream changes since 1.5.2 in 2015 are basically a very large number
of bugfixes and minor improvements, as well as modernizing
dependencies.
See https://www.gpsbabel.org/changes.html for details.
This switch is meant to be used by packages requiring an implementation of the
former libusb (as in devel/libusb). The original implementation can be
chosen by setting LIBUSB_TYPE to "native".
The alternative implementation libusb-compat (as in devel/libusb-compat) wraps
libusb1 (in devel/libusb1). This implementation can be chosen by setting
LIBUSB_TYPE to "compat". On NetBSD, it has the advantage of not requiring root
privileges to locate and use USB devices without a kernel driver.
This second part switches packages using libusb to this framework. It does not
change compilation options or dependencies at this point.
Compile-tested on most packages affected and available on NetBSD/amd64.
One mismatched digest found in geography/libmemphis02:
# package libmemphis02
recorded SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = dbc2f61e49b996dc9ca91df0de9a08eb7adbfa9b
calculated SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = 85993bce12c3616fcf6e7682a70b9605883edec2
No changes were made to the libmemphis02 distinfo file
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.
The upstream distribution tries to use qt as a framework, but pkgsrc
provides it as a normal package. This commit comments out the special
case logic in configure that uses "-framework QtCore" on OS X.
(configure.in is patched too, because that's the source file, even
though it's not rebuilt.)
pkgsrc changes: add bash exorcism for testo
upstream changes: Depend on QT, and much rewriting

1.5.0
GPSBabel 1.4.x has had a good run. That series has been downloaded
over a million times and is widely used by thousands of people a
day. But, like many projects entering their teens (I started the code
that became GPSBabel in 2001) we've accumulated our share of technical
debt and the world around us has changed. GPSBabel 1.5 is about
revisiting some of those early, fundamental (and, sometimes, dumb)
decisions and rebuilding much of it from the foundation up. We've
collected hundreds of changes spanning about a hundred thousand lines
of code and we're presenting GPSBabel 1.5.
Of course, if you're an existing user, you're looking for new formats
and fixes. We happen to have those. Freshly added:
Mapbar
Garmin G1000
Google Direction API
MTK Locus
Lowrance USR v4
GlobalSat DG-200
Humminbird v4
We have fixes:
GUI now lists help button on main screen and options pages.
TODO: list more.
By far, our deepest cutting changes are in our infrastructure.
We changed the implementation language from C89 to C++03. This lets
our developers use modern, object-oriented programming and modern
libraries.
We moved to the open source Qt toolkit. We've successfully used Qt in
the GUI for over five years. This lets us focus on GPSBabel itself and
not implementi ng our own OS abstractions from scratch, robust string
and time handling, and much more.
We replaced time from our old representation that used the number of
seconds since 1/1/1970 and had a fractional seconds component bolted
onto the side (that was only sometimes used) with a QDateTime which
allows us to represent time within millisecond resolution from Jan 2,
4713 BCE to sometimes in the year 11 million. While that sounds crazy
(it is!) this lets things like the track filter not mangle data
collected by your 10Hz GPS and your placemarks can have dates that,
say, buildings were built or cities were founded without worrying
about Jan 1, 1970.
We replaced all of our XML (GPX, KML, Geo, etc) readers with Qt
readers. This reduces the number of data-specific bugs you're likely
to encounter. No longer will a waypoint named "]]" (it happens!) crash
your data. We're much more robust when reading extended namespaces.
We replaced our own XML writers with Qt's XML serializers. This solves
a whole class of data-specific issues with specific fields containing
data like "<" or "[[<CDATA" (it happens!) or international characters
or such.
Reference counted, dynamic strings are now used in the majority of our
key data structures, eliminating leaks and allowing multiple copies of
the same data to share a copy in memory, lessening the amount of
memory we use.
A lot of emphasis as been placed on sound engineering. GPSBabel now
has automated tests covering hundreds of thousands of operations to
check against memory leaks, overwrites, unused code, uninitialized
data use and so on. We believe this to be our highest quality release
ever.
As a result of all this remodelling, some of our formats that our
statistics showed were infrequently used and that had little to no
support traffic in many years were removed. Most of these were formats
for Palm OS, were never mentioned after they were initially added, or
are for companies that have been out of business for years or that
have moved to better formats, like GPX. These include:
Deprecated formats - Palm/OS
cetus
copilot
coto
gcdb
geoniche
gpilots
gpspilot
mag_pdb
magnav
palmdoc
pathaway
quovadis
Others
axim_gpb
coastexp
hsandv
ktf2
kwf2
msroute
msroute1
psp
sportsim
The patch to help serial garmins with prolific adaptors is retained,
but it's perhaps a bit dicey because upstream code has changed a bit.
Upstream NEWS content from web pages:
1.4.4:
Add MotoActiv format. Thank you, Dan Brown.
Kris Beevers contributes Lowrance USR v4 support.
Allow EXIF to represent altitude below MSL.
