out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
RESTRICTED= variables that were predicated on former U.S. export
regulations. Add CRYPTO=, as necessary, so it's still possible to
exclude all crypto packages from a build by setting MKCRYPTO=no
(but "lintpkgsrc -R" will no longer catch them).
Specifically,
- - All packages which set USE_SSL just lose their RESTRICTED
variable, since MKCRYPTO responds to USE_SSL directly.
- - realplayer7 and ns-flash keep their RESTRICTED, which is based
on license terms, but also gain the CRYPTO variable.
- - srp-client is now marked broken, since the distfile is evidently
no longer available. On this, we're no worse off than before.
[We haven't been mirroring the distfile, or testing the build!]
- - isakmpd gets CRYPTO for RESTRICTED, but remains broken.
- - crack loses all restrictions, as it does not evidently empower
a user to utilize strong encryption (working definition: ability
to encode a message that requires a secret key plus big number
arithmetic to decode).
