editors/xemacs
editors/xemacs-nox11
The latter is now just editors/xemacs built with a specific set of
options. Changes include:
+ Add support for the following new options in options.mk:
x11 Support X11 displays
lucid Use Lucid widget set
Also add commented out support for the following options for
alternative widget sets:
gtk GTK widgets
motif Motif widgets
xaw Athena widgets
Note that USE_ATHENA, USE_GTK, and USE_MOTIF are legacy variables for
the corresponding options.
+ Remove Makefile.common and move all logic into xemacs/Makefile and
xemacs/options.mk.
+ Rename the "mule" PLIST variable to "canna", which more accurately
reflects what is conditionally installed.
+ Include termcap.buildlink3.mk to properly deal with termcap/curses
issues (xemacs needs termcap). Drop the --with-ncurses=no setting
as the issue is handled by termcap.buildlink3.mk.
+ In xemacs/Makefile, we don't need separate EXTRACT_ONLY and EXTRA_FILES
if we're actually going to extract all of those files all of the time.
Just list them all in DISTFILES.
+ Be slightly more aware of ${X11_TYPE} == "modular" by not referring to
${X11BASE} in that case.
+ In patch-ak, directly substitute the local value of etcdir (``../etc/'')
into src/Makefile.in.in. This allows for overriding etcdir via
INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS at install-time so that destdir-style installation
will work.
+ Support DESTDIR installation by adding INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS to override
where files are installed during the install phase.
+ Honor PKGMANDIR.
+ Bump the PKGREVISION for xemacs and xemacs-nox11 to 4. Both packages
now track and use the same PKGREVISION number.
Fix the movemail.c format string vulnerability. Other changes are
mostly build & documentation fixes.
In pkgsrc, pass ${LOCALBASE} and ${X11BASE} as the --site-includes
/ --sith-libraries / --site-runtime-libraries to configure more
correctly. No visible change.
Changes in this version:
* etc/OXYMORONS: Inserted "Corporate Culture" for 21.4.15.
* etc/package-index.LATEST.gpg: New, replaces
`package-index.LATEST.pgp'.
* etc/package-index.LATEST.pgp: Removed, replaced with
`package-index.LATEST.gpg'.
* configure.in: The icc compiler pretends to be gcc. It isn't.
* etc/PACKAGES (ERC): new.
* configure.usage (--with-widgets): widgets now defaults to
--with-widgets=no. Patch inspired by Jim Schumacher.
* etc/PACKAGES (riece): New package.
* etc/PACKAGES (liece): Mark as deprecated.
* configure.in: Add Intel C++ compiler detection to compiler
version reporting.
* configure.in: record additional info about compiler and libc
versions, to assist in debugging.
* configure.in (line 3573):
(Mule input methods):
Deprecate Motif for Linux.
(Installation): Report when LessTif is used.
* configure.in: installexe.sh is under srcdir, not blddir.
* aclocal.m4: Add icc (Intel compiler) support.
* configure.in: Ditto.
* configure.in (OS_RELEASE): Add support for SunOS 5.10.
On current OSes produced by Sun, `uname -r' prints "5.9".
It seems likely that on future OSes, `uname -r' will print "5.10".
We need to accept multi-digit release numbers.
* PROBLEMS: Propose bash as an alternative to buggy Solaris
/bin/sh.
* configure.in: XEmacs failed to build on Solaris9.
