developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

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.

Also, pass down ${_MOTIFBASE} from the package makefile during the
build, and use it in the Makefiles. Fixes PR 15277 from Hiramatsu
Yoshifumi, hiramatu@boreas.dti.ne.jp, albeit in a different way to
the fix in the PR.
- Added built-in patterns for CSS, XML, and regular expressions (Regex).
Many other pattern updates.
- Support for high- and true-color systems. NEdit now will automatically
select the best visual from your X server. This reduces the chance of
running out of colors.
- New features in the Find and Replace dialogs:
o Replacement across multiple windows in a session.
o Case sensitivity may be set independently of regular expressions.
o Add "Replace and Find" command, which saves keystrokes when doing
a large-scale find & replace.
- ClearCase version-extended pathnames.
- Many new macro subroutines and variables, array support in macros.
- Range highlighting of matching delimiters.
- Undo and Redo highlights the text that has changed, when visible.
- Support for wheel mouse scrolling on servers that support it (XFree86).
- Improved accelerator key handling.
- Insert Control Code dialog accepts value in any valid C notation
- Optional beeping when search operations wrap.
- Additional default search styles.
- Optional displaying of path names in the window list menu.
- Fix a crash when entering an invalid line number in "Goto Line".
- Fix problems when running NEdit on 64-bit platforms like Alpha
- NEdit failed to open files if some directories above were not "readable"
- Fix potential crashes if some system calls fail
- When no colors are left, attempt to reuse the closest matching color. This
allows NEdit's syntax highlighting to better coexist with Netscape, which
unfortuntely takes all available colors.
- Accelerators now available in confirmation dialogs, and may be invoked
without the Alt key.
- Don't even try to open a directory for editing
- Fix a couple of memory corruption problems
redefines about which buildlink.mk files would care is BUILDLINK_X11_DIR,
which points to the location of the X11R6 hierarchy used during building.
If x11.buildlink.mk isn't included, then BUILDLINK_X11_DIR defaults to
${X11BASE} (set in bsd.pkg.mk), so its value is always safe to use. Remove
the ifdefs surrounding the use of BUILDLINK_X11_DIR in tk/buildlink.mk and
revert changes to move x11.buildlink.mk before the other buildlink.mk files.
use X11_BUILDLINK_MK as a test value. Generally just reordering the
inclusions so that x11.buildlink.mk comes before the other buildlink.mk
files will make everthing work.
- Significant extensions to the regular expression syntax.
- Incremental search, and optional search bar.
- New ctags code with full support for Exuberant Ctags, better
handling of tag collisions, multiple tag file support, on-demand
loading of tag files, and automatic reload of modified tag files.
- Optional display of line numbers along the left side of the text.
- NEdit can now read and write MS DOS format files.
- New built-in syntax highlighting patterns for Lex, PostScript, SQL,
Many syntax highlighting pattern improvements.
- Improved international character set input
- New macro subroutines: list_dialog, getenv, set_language_mode.
- Optional warnings about external modifications to files
- Clearcase awareness
- Session manager restart capability
- Default language mode "*" for user-defined menu items, allows
per-language variations on a common base
- Allow additional modifiers like Sun diamond key in user defined
accelerators
- Option to sort open previous menu.
- -geometry and -iconic command line arguments act per-window, and
can be specified via nc
- -geometry now specified in characters, rather than pixels
- -lm (language mode) command line option
- Save As dialog defaults to same file name
- .nedit file version mechanism to make future upgrades easier
- Crash on large amounts of data fed to shell command which does not
take input
- Delayed secondary windows when executable statements specified in
users .neditmacro file
- Many corrections to online help
- Many highlight patterns corrections
- Using window close box in file open/save dialogs leaves nedit server
unresponsive
- escape in macro dialogs can cause macro hang
- Lesstif-specific fixes: attachment warnings in font selector,
Work around replace dialog focus bug.
- NEdit no longer maintains original protection settings on files. It
allows them to be changed externally.
