binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native
operating system. Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more
details.
* Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing
PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition.
* Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the
emulator framework. Most of them have been tested to install and
deinstall correctly. This involves the following cleanup actions:
* Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM}
more consistently.
* Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code.
* Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc.
Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support,
and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64
uses.
* Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc. The framework will
automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux.
Specific changes to packages include:
* Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages
due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all
of the packages.
* Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any
packages.
* cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for
all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo"
instead.
* lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR}
instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find
the shared libraries.
* mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary
distributions for supported platforms.
* multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
* security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that
it's not necessary to install library symlinks into
${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib.
* www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
it for plurals support, but that is already handled correctly (FSVO
"correctly") by the pkgsrc/mk/tools/msgfmt.sh script.
Also remove _USE_GNU_GETTEXT definitions from pkgsrc/mk/platform/*.mk
files as that value has been unused by pkgsrc for quite some time
(going back several branches).
allow IMAKE to be set by anything other than the tools framework.
Modify the IRIX files so that the native imake is listed as a built-in
tool in the case where X11_TYPE is "native". Also, move the include
of tools/default.mk a bit lower in bsd.prefs.mk so that tools.${OPSYS}.mk
files can use the value of X11_TYPE. This should properly set and
point IMAKE to the right binary on IRIX without destroying the
configuration for platforms where IMAKE was not explicitly set, i.e.
every non-IRIX platform.
- on Darwin, pkgsrc no longer tries to set user or group when installing
as unprivileged user, i.e. with UNPRIVILEGED set to yes.
- on IRIX (5 and 6) the system's xmkmf config files are no longer modified.
Instead copies (that take priority with pkgsrc's xmkmf) are used for that
purpose.
for manipulating PLISTs. This module is not used by default pending
more widespread testing -- currently the variable _USE_PLIST_MODULE
must be defined in /etc/mk.conf to enable its use.
The main features of the new PLIST module are:
(1) Splits out the PLIST-handling code from bsd.pkg.mk into a
separate "plist" module.
(2) Splits out giant, multi-line awk scripts stored in make
variables into separate awk scripts that may be joined
together to post-process PLISTs. Each of these awk scripts
consolidates the processing for one set of files, e.g.,
man pages, info pages, etc., and is more easily commented
than a make variable.
(3) Splits out the print-PLIST code from the regular PLIST code
since they have no common pieces (print-plist.mk vs.
plist.mk).
(4) Completely re-implements the shared-library handling to be
more efficient. Along the way, this also fixes a problem
for Mac OS X users where the PLISTs incorrectly contained
absolute paths.
(5) Completely re-implements the info-file handling so that we
can migrate from INFO_FILES definitions to just adding
info/foo.info entries in the static PLISTs.
(6) Adds commented-out support for automatically compressed or
decompressed info page entries based on the value of MANZ.
These changes will be activated after texinfo.mk has been
replaced by something that is built using the more modern
primitives now available in pkgsrc.
(7) Move the file compression logic into a separate script
"doc-compress" that compresses or decompresses files while
minding symlinks. This script is now called by bsd.pkg.mk
to do the "autmoatic man page handling". In the future,
it will also handle the "automatic info page handling" and
possible others.
In general, the idea is to move stuff out of the Makefiles and into
separate files where we don't need to worry about quoting rules
and where each file can have a separate history of commits. This
simplifies the makefile logic (especially in terms of readability)
and also simplifies maintenance of the code.
