The latest Go release, version 1.15, arrives six months after Go 1.14. Most of
its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect
almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
Go 1.15 includes substantial improvements to the linker, improves allocation
for small objects at high core counts, and deprecates X.509 CommonName. GOPROXY
now supports skipping proxies that return errors and a new embedded tzdata
package has been added.
There are no changes to the language.
They have not been kept up to-date for ~20 years and
are essentially just an outdated offline mirror of the
Website https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/, which
is trivial for the user to mirror themself if they wish.
pkglint 20.2.0 (and a bit earlier) does not insist on entries
for directories any longer that do not contain complete packages.
Remove them.
While here, fix security/Makefile that had two missing entries.
MoonScript is a dynamic scripting language that compiles into Lua. It gives
you the power of one of the fastest scripting languages combined with a rich
set of features.
MoonScript can either be compiled into Lua and run at a later time, or it
can be dynamically compiled and run using the moonloader. It's as simple as
require "moonscript" in order to have Lua understand how to load and run
any MoonScript file.
Because it compiles right into Lua code, it is completely compatible with
alternative Lua implementations like LuaJIT, and it is also compatible with
all existing Lua code and libraries.
The command line tools also let you run MoonScript directly from the command
line, like any first-class scripting language.
Note: this is slightly different than other Lua packages and, among
other things, implements its own install target. This is becuase I
wanted to minimize the amount of patching to Makefiles to make it
fit into the pkgsrc world.
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is
dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based
virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental
garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and
rapid prototyping.
This version is a preferred choice for new Lua modules.
Dumb package that selects and installs a binary rust distribution
based on its guess of your platform (FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux x86_64 are
all supported). These binaries are the official ones provided by
rust upstream and are the same as those provided by the `rustup` tool.
You can choose to use a binary rust distribution by setting:
RUST_TYPE=bin in mk.conf
(or source distribution with RUST_TYPE=src).
Currently, RUST_TYPE=bin by default ONLY for NetBSD-x86_64. This is
because TNF has been shown to _repeatedly_ be unable and _unwilling_ to
ensure that rust-dependent packages build properly on their
infrastructure, and NetBSD users are all suffering for it.
This was based on minskim's work in pkgsrc-wip.
It was tested by building librsvg and firefox-esr with the resulting
binaries.
Neko is a high-level dynamically typed programming language. It can be used
as an embedded scripting language. It has been designed to provide a common
runtime for several different languages. Learning and using Neko is very
easy. You can easily extend the language with C libraries. You can also
write generators from your own language to Neko and then use the Neko
Runtime to compile, run, and access existing libraries.
Janet is a functional and imperative programming language.
Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a language to embed in
other programs. Think Lua or Guile. Janet also can be used for rapid
prototying, dynamic systems, and other domains where lisp shines.
The default will remain at 1.13 for the next branch.
The latest Go release, version 1.14, arrives six months after Go 1.13. Most of

As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect

Enlightened Sound Daemon was one of the earlier solutions to the old
"multiple programs can't open /dev/audio at once" problem that was once
a thing we had to worry about.
Eventually, it was adopted as part of GNOME. GNOME lost interest in it
about a decade ago and dropped it in favour of PulseAudio, newer
applications are generally uninterested in supporting it. Last release
was in 2008 and support for newer OS APIs is pretty nonexistent.
Several years ago the original website disappeared.

Moved nodejs to nodejs10 - version 10.17.0
Version 12.13.1 'Erbium' (LTS):
Notable changes
Experimental support for building Node.js with Python 3 is improved.
ICU time zone data is updated to version 2019c. This fixes the date offset in Brazil.
