pkgsrc change: Switch to new, official upstream, and use official
version numbering scheme
Note that because of this, pkgin fug won't pick up this new version
automatically.
changes since 20190228: portability fixes (which we basically had).
The canonical form [1] of an R package Makefile includes the
following:
- The first stanza includes R_PKGNAME, R_PKGVER, PKGREVISION (as
needed), and CATEGORIES.
- HOMEPAGE is not present but defined in math/R/Makefile.extension to
refer to the CRAN web page describing the package. Other relevant
web pages are often linked from there via the URL field.
This updates all current R packages to this form, which will make
regular updates _much_ easier, especially using pkgtools/R2pkg.

The software hasn't been updated since 2002 and is probably full
of security problems. Two packages were using it. (gpsdrive has a
newer version in wip.)

18.12.8:
WARNING: This release contains a subtle but important API change that may break integrations!
Looking at 13416 I realized that I made a terrible API design choice with respect to how the get function should behave in Python. Probably under the influence of either too little or too much whiskey I went and implemented get so that it raises a KeyError instead of doing the Pythonic thing and returning None and allowing to customize the default. There was a bit of back-and-forth around this code in previous releases (specifically touching edge cases to have the Subdivision API behave “reasonably”, although there doesn’t seem to be one right way there.)
Anyway, when preparing this release and reviewing 13416 and the other related issues and changes from the past I noticed my mistake an decide to fix it going forward.
So, from now on get will behave as expected in Python and yes, this means you will have to update your integration code carefully now checking for None returns instead of expecting KeyErrors. This is work, but I think it’s worthwhile to uphold this convention within the Python community.
* Switch API from “get + KeyError” to ” get + default=None”. This is a subtle API-breaking change. Please update carefully.
* Update to iso-codes 4.1.
With 37, the build fails with complaints about future and the wrong
version. With 27, it builds. Definitive documentation is scarce, but
signs point to 27 being standard for 2.18, and 3 perhaps working,
perhaps not. Because qgis 2.18 should be updated to 3.x anyway, don't
worry and just set the variables for now.
Version 2.05 May 2019
* The program gama-local for adjustment of local surveying networks
used a C++ class Acord for computing approximate coordinates of
adjusted points, if these were not explicitly given on
input. Acord's computations were based on intersections (and local
transformations if necessary) of the tuples of determining
observations (for example a bearing and a distance). Gama-local
expected input data to be free of blunders, which might be a strong
assumption in practice.
New class Acord2 was introduced as a robust alternative for typical
two dimensional input configurations (Acord2 is not a complete
general solution yet); the idea is to find all (or as many as possible)
solutions of coordinates of a selected point and use their median as
the robust position estimation. Algorithm Acord2 is followed by the
original Acord intersections in gama-local, before the adjustment
solution of the network. Acord2 is based on the master's thesis by

3.17: 2017-09-07 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Repair support for non-NMEA devices requring active probing
(e.g. Garmin USB GPSes). Apply OS X build fixes. Fix a SiRF driver
bug that occasionally confused NTP. Support for Spectratime iSync
GRClok and LNRClok oscillators. gpxlogger can reconnect when
the GPS loses the fix. xgps and xgpsspeed moved to python-gi,
getting shut of the deprecated pygtk2 bindings. Default mode for
xgpsspeed is now the more interesting nautical display. gpsmon
includes the hostname with the device display. gpsprof now has
centimeter precision.
3.16: 2016-01-08 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Test rebuilds for mid-2015 leapsecond bump. Regression tests will
run even if "python" in Python 3. Build correctly on systems where
-ltinfo is split from -lncurses. Avoid some rare overflow conditions
in PPS code. Fix bugs in JSON sat-view parsing due to the JSON
parser stuffing ints into shorts. Various small fixes to AIS
interpretation. Prevent a memory leak in long-running gpsmon
instances. Fix Savannah bug #45270: serial driver does not work
properly on pipes. Fix Savannah bug #44648: GPSD won't build if
CCFLAGS contains options that are only compatible with the
cros1s-compiler. Fix Savannah bug #45342: SConstruct generates wrong
*.pc files. Fix Savannah bug #46495: gpsd_poll may crash due to
unitialized pointer (probably due to buggy FD_ISSET on host
system). Fix Savannah bug #46648: gpsd crashes and buffer overflow
is reported when terminated. Fix Savannah bug #46802: AIVDM to CSV
is broken in some weird cases. Fix Savannah bug #46804: JSON
satellite view parsing is somewhat broken.
3.15: 2015-06-03 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Fix a rare crash bug related to devices becoming inaccessible while timed out.
Accept NMEA 4.1 GSV sentences with the trailing signal-ID field.
Fixed incorrect decode of south latitudes in AIS Type 17 messages.
splint has been retired; this removes almost 2KLOC of annotations.
chrpath is no longer a build dependency. Corrected Beidou/QZNSS display
in the Python clients so the graphics don't look like SBAS.
3.14: 2015-03-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
The Pi Day release, 3.14 on 3/14 2015 at 9:26. Longer timeouts on test clients.
Skyview support for the Beidou and QZSS constellations in the NMEA0183 driver.
ntpmon rename to ntpshmmon - it doesn't actually monitor NTP itself.
New HOWTO on the website: "Introduction to Time Service".
3.13: 2015-02-26 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
compiler.h inclusion removed for gps.h so it's standalone for /usr/include.
TOFF JSON report gives the offset between GPS top of second and clock time.
A new ntpmon tool supports capturing clock samples from NTP SHM segments.
3.12: 2015-02-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
The daemon's power utilization has been reduced by changing from
non-blocking to blocking I/O; this may be significant on mobile devices.
Better protection against false matches of Inland AIS messages; this
required a libgps version bump to 22 (as a side effect, per-device
footprint has decreased). PPS feature is no longer marked
experimental/unstable. Sentence tag fields have been dropped from
the JSON reports. GNSS and GLONASS SKY reports are now
merged. Addressed versions of AIS Type 25 and 26 are now
handled. The 'nmea' build option is now 'nmea0183'. New 'minimal'
option sets all boolean options not explicitly set on the build
command line to false. The 'limited_max_devices' option is now
'max_devices'; the 'limited_max_clients' option is now 'max_clients'
The previously deprecated 'libQgpsmm' option has been removed; use 'qt'.
A bug fix for error modeling when NMEA 0183 reports empty DOP
fields. On OS X, the "osx-pl203" driver has been explicitly listed
as unsupported. The last remnants of the old pre-JSON query protocol
have been removed from the client library.
3.11: 2014-07-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
A bug that prevented track interpolation has been fixed.
We now get vertical error position and speed estimates from the
u-blox driver rather than having to interpolate them.
Some unusual AIS talker IDs (NMEA 4.0 station classes) are supported.
chrpath is no longer a dependency for building and testing, and
now defaults to 'no'. Full systemd support. Fixes for handling
large PPS offsets. Improved recovery from device flakeouts,
gpsmon argument parsing.
3.10: 2013-11-22 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
AIS: Adds gps2udp, an AIS data relay, split24 option supports
passing through Type 24 halves; support for Inland AIS; "scaled" no
longer controls dumping of controlled-vocabulary fields; instead,
the're always dumped numerically and as text, with text in an
attribute name generated by appending "_text" to the name of the
base attribute. The packetizer's handling of write boundaries not
coinciding with packet boundaries is improved. Better support for
mode and speed switching in the UBX driver. PPS message now ships
nsec. PPS events are visible in gpsmon. Time-reporting fix to TSIP.
3.9: 2013-05-01 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Note to packagers: this is an urgent release that fixes a possible
DoS or security hole! Armor the AIS driver against an implausible
overrun attack. A (different) fix for our first malformed-packet
crash since about 2007. Minor improvements to the NMEA2000
driver. New FAQ entry on how to know WAAS/EGNOS is working.
New -u and -uu options enable usec timestamps on gpspipe output.
3.8: 2013-02-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Fix various minor errors in the AIVDM/AIVDO description. Repair the
xmlto support in the build system. Add two more regression
tests. Significant improvements to NMEA2000 support. Upgrade the PHP
client to v3 of the Google Maps API. Support for the Telit SL869
chipset. Added a nautical-style display to xgpsspeed. Minor
improvements to leapsecond.py.
3.7: 2012-07-02 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Snap release to get the midnight change in the default leap-second
constant out the door. Port tests now pass on all Debian supported
architectures, including the Sparc and s390 that were giving us
trouble before. Pre-2003 Delorme Earthmate works again.
3.6: 2012-05-23 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
It's the Fernando Poo Day release. Code has zero detectible defects
under Coverity scanning and cppcheck 1.52; this is mainly a cleanup
release to get those minor fixes into the field. If a leap-second
warning is available from GPS subframe information it is passed to
ntpd. NMEA2000 is now supported via the Linux kernel CAN interface.
There's a chrpath=no config option for distribution makers, so
chrpath is no longer a build dependency; see build.txt for
explanation.
3.5: 2012-04-14 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Use pselect when it's available to cut down on wakeups and improve
signal handling. New {PPS} message exporting clock drift. The AIVDM
driver now handles up to 16 interleaved 24A and 24B pair-halves.
The NMEA driver interprets depth-sounder returns from SDDBT and
reports them as negative altitudes. The pps-pin option is gone, the
PPS code now just accepts any handshake pin. A bug that sometimes
caused RTCM packets to be dropped rather than relayed is fixed.
3.4: 2012-01-12 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Don't barf when chrpath is not available, fall back to static linking;
helps people not running Linux.
3.3: 2011-10-29 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
Improvements to build and release-procedure documentation. Make
sirf=no build work again. Main reason for this release is to make
chrpath a mandatory build dependency and explain why in the build
documentation.
3.2: 2011-10-25 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
In the build recipe, (1) set pkgconfig properly for 64-bit Fedora
systems, (2) clean up various derived files including *.pyc on scons
-c, (3) add an option to disable stripping of binaries (strip=no),
(4) for embedded targets, add an option to disable building Python
support (python=no), (5) make the help for gpsd_group and gpsd_user
a little clearer, (6) add a force_global option to build gpsd to
listen to all addresses (rather than just loopback). The packet
sniffer now accepts NMEA packets with the ECDIS packet leader 'EC'.
SBAS satellites are now properly use-flagged in SiRF and UBX
skyviews. The -G option now works under IPv6. Cross-build is now
officially supported and instructions included. gpsprof works again
and does whole-cycle profiling. gpsd.php has Open Street Map
support. The pp-on-cts option is replaced by a pps_pin option that
lets you specify the pin; the default is still DCD. New supported
device; the Jackson Labs Fury. The chrpath utility has become a
build prerequisite.
3.1: 2011-07-28 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
The Irene release, rocking you like a hurricane and brought to you
from the storm shelter in my basement. This is a snap release mainly
to get some scons recipe cleanups out the door. Parallelized builds
now work. Small but fatal problems with reconfigure=no, netfeed=no
and sock_export=no builds have been fixed. Build recipe ported for
Fedora, Darwin, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. libgps now brings -lm with it
on systems with implicit linking. One old bug fixed (code was
previously present but broken): Under Linux, gpsd will refrain from
opening serial or USB devices that another process has open,
avoiding potential problems with class 0xFF USB devices opened by
other programs. One new bug fix: we now use an atof()
implementation that ignores locale, avoiding problems where decimal
point is a comma. One new feature: Change -N semantics so it only
suppresses backgrounding; privileges are now dropped as in normal
background operation.
3.0: 2011-07-19 (Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>)
POLL subobject name changes: fixes -> tpv, skyview -> sky.
Fix a timestamp-clobbering bug in the C library revealed by an
obscure car-nav device, the MyGuide 3100. The DEVICE 'activated'
attribute becomes an ISO8601 string; the client libraries will
still backward-compatibly read a float value. gps_unpack() is
now a documented part of the library API. There is now a
shared-memory export from the daemon that can be accessed through
the C and C++ client libraries. xgps and cgps may now display
the Maidenhead grid locator for current lat/lon. xgps displays
GST noise statistics if they are available. Codebase now has
an scons build recipe. Direct support for activation of gpsd from
Mac OS/X systemd. gpsdecode can now filter reports by RTCM2, RTCM3,
or AIS message type. NMEA HEHDT is implemented. Remote gpsd instances
can now be used as data sources via a gpsd:// URL. There is a client
for live-feeding GPSD data to Google Earth. The hotplug sequence no
longer requires Python.
Despite the version jump from 1 to 2, the changes are relatively
small, consisting mostly of various minor improvements and bugfixes.
Notable items are:
* The new attribute "extern" suggested by Kristian Evers (Danish
Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency) was added both to the
gama-local xml input and adjustment results xml output to be
conformant with an external database project. Information supplied in
"extern" attributes of observations are not processed in any way in
gama-local and are only passively transfered to XML adjustement
output.
* Improved Hungarian translation by Siki Zoltan:
* Kolmogorov-Smirnov test removed - available only as conditional
compile
