out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the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.
* Graph Library, Random Number Library, and Regular Expression Library
* Configuration Header additions for various compiler foibles.
* Portability Hints: Borland C++ 5.5.1 from Jens Maurer added.
* Compiler Status updated for latest versions of several compilers.
* Array Library improvements reflecting formal review comments.
* functional.hpp compiler workarounds added.
* tie() function template added to utility.hpp for easier handling of
std::pair<> return values.
* Integer Library improved handling of 64-bit integers.
* Minor web site page updates.
* Array Library added - An STL compliant container wrapper for arrays of
constant size from Nicolai Josuttis.
* array traits header renamed array_traits.hpp (was array.hpp).
* Random Number Library: more minor changes to support more compilers.
* Smart Pointer Library: performance reducing exception-specifications
removed.
* Utility Library: compiler and test program fixes for call_traits,
compressed_pair, and type_traits.
* Utility Library: updated cast.hpp to clear compiler warning messages..
* Linux Compiler Status added.
* Boost source code now lives in a publicly accessible Concurrent
Versions System (CVS) repository.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
* Remove limits and memory. Just depend on SGI STL package which has much
better versions of these files.
* Minor fixes and enhancements in the documentation.
