and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
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.
Changes in binutils:
* Binutils-2.16 will be the last release for a number of targets due to
lack of maintenance (of course, if maintainers step up, then this list
will change!). The targets are:

(*) bfd and opcodes support will be kept.
* Add "-g/--section-groups" to readelf to display section groups.
* objcopy recognizes two new options --strip-unneeded-symbol and
--strip-unneeded-symbols, namely for use together with the wildcard
matching the original --strip-symbol/--strip-symbols provided, but
retaining any symbols matching but needed by relocations.
* readelf can now display address ranges from .debug_range sections. This
happens automatically when a DW_AT_range attribute is encountered. The
command line switch --debug-dump=Ranges (or -wR) can also be used to display
the contents of the .debug_range section.
* nm and objdump now have a switch "--special-syms" to enable the displaying of
symbols which the target considers to be special. By default these symbols
are no longer displayed. Currently the only special symbols are the Mapping
symbols used by the ARM port to mark transitions between text and data and
between ARM and THUMB code.
* dlltool has a switch "--ext-prefix-alias <prefix>" to generate additional
import and export symbols with <preifx> prepended to them.
Changes in gas:
* Redefinition of macros now results in an error.
* New command line option -mhint.b=[ok|warning|error] for IA64 targets.
* New command line option -munwind-check=[warning|error] for IA64
targets.
* The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default
mode.
* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
* Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets.
* Add a -g command line option to generate debug information in the target's
preferred debug format.
* Support for the crx-elf target added.
* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
* Added a pseudo-op (.secrel32) to generate 32 bit section relative relocations
on pe[i]-i386; required for this target's DWARF 2 support.
* Support for Motorola MCF521x/5249/547x/548x added.
* Support for ColdFire EMAC instructions added and Motorola syntax for MAC/EMAC
instrucitons.
* New command line option -mno-shared for MIPS ELF targets.
* New command line option --alternate and pseudo-ops .altmacro and .noaltmacro
added to enter (and leave) alternate macro syntax mode.
Changes in ld:
* Support for the R_ARM_V4BX relocation as defined in the ARM AAELF
specification has been added via the --fix-v4bx command-line option.
* New linker script construct AS_NEEDED(), which sets the --as-needed flag
for input files listed inside of it.
* A new command-line option, --sysroot, can be used to override the
default sysroot location. It only applies to toolchains that were
configured using --with-sysroot.
* New linker script functions: ORIGIN() and LENGTH() which return information
about a specified memory region.
* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
* Added SEGMENT_START to the linker script language to permit the user to
override the base address for a segment from the command-line.
* ELF: --warn-shared-textrel option to warn if adding a DT_TEXTREL to a shared
object.
* Added SORT_BY_NAME and SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT to the linker script
language to permit sorting sections by section name or section
maximum alignment.
* Added a new linker command line switch, --sort-section name|alignment,
to sort sections by section name or maximum alignment.
* ELF: --add-needed/--no-add-needed options to control if a DT_NEEDED tag
should be added when a shared library comes from DT_NEEDED tags.
* Support for the crx-elf target added.
* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
* A new linker command line switch has been added which allows the hash table
size to be set to a suitable prime value near to its argument. This switch
is --hash-size=<NUMBER>. Also if the switch --reduce-memory-overheads is
used, and --hash-size has not been used, then the default value will be set
to 1021.
* Linker map files are now generated with an O(N) algorithm for finding symbols
that are defined in each section. This uses about 40% more memory for
symbols than the old O(N^2) algorithm. You can use the new
--reduce-memory-overheads option to select the old algorithm; this option
might also be used in the future to select similar tradeoffs.
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.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
in via USE_TEXINFO=yes), build it without locale support. This makes
it easier to "bootstrap" the installation of a pkgsrc compiler without
a lot of additional indirect build dependencies on gettext, libiconv,
libtool, etc.
built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
bumps to correctly sort before "2.14.1", and "2.14.1.1", and so on.)
Follows is a list of additions to the "NEWS" files since 2.13. The "NEWS"
files were apparently not updated for "2.13.2.1" however, so all of this
is not really new. The "--with-sysroot" and "--with-lib-path" configure
options for "ld" are truly new, though, and the package now takes advantage
of "--with-lib-path" to prevent picking up crud from "${PREFIX}/lib", to
better support using this "ld" with which to build pkgsrc packages.
----- binutils/binutils/NEWS -----
