Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
8c619c7355
Version 56.0.0 "Strasbourg / St. Denis" 2021-04-05
New features and enhancements
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit: tags: the programs will no longer write tag elements
that are mandatory and set to their default value (e.g. "tag language" set
to `und` = undetermined).
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit, MKVToolNix GUI chapter editor: chapters: the programs
will no longer write chapter elements that are mandatory and set to their
default value (e.g. "chapter language" set to `eng` = English or "Chapter
flag enabled" = 1).
* mkvextract: chapters: mkvextract will no longer add a `ChapterLanguage`
element set to `eng` to the generated XML content if the source file doesn't
contain such an element.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: when using the "tab widget below the files &
tracks" layout option for the track properties the elements in the "general
options" tab will use six rows à four columns instead of twelve rows à two
columns, greatly reducing the required height.
Bug fixes
* mkvmerge: AAC reader: fixed mkvmerge aborting to read AAC files bigger than
2 GB with a message about not being able to allocate memory.
* mkvmerge: chapters: `ChapLanguageIETF` elements were still created when the
option `--disable-language-ietf` was given after an option leading to the
creation of chapters. Now the position doesn't matter anymore.
* mkvmerge: chapters: when the option `--disable-language-ietf` is used,
`ChapLanguageIETF` elements won't be written even when sources are read
(Matroska files or XML chapters files) that do contain those elements.
* mkvmerge: tags: when the option `--disable-language-ietf` is used,
`TagLanguageIETF` elements won't be written.
* mkvmerge: tags: mkvmerge will no longer write language elements for the
track statistics tags it creates, making the effective language
"undetermined" due to `und` being the default value for the legacy tag
language element.
* mkvmerge: tags: the XML tag parser will now validate all `<Simple>` children
of `<Tag>` elements, not just the first for each `<Tag>`.
* mkvmerge: tags: the XML tag parser now uses the spec-compliant `und`
("undetermined") as the default language for `<Simple>` tags instead of
`eng`.
* mkvmerge, mkvpropedit: tags: mkvmerge will no longer set the "target type"
for track statistics tags (earlier it used `MOVIE`). The "target type value"
will still be set to `50`.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: HEVC/H.265: both programs will now normalize the
placement of VPS, SPS and PPS NALUs. Each key frame is prefixed with exactly
one copy of the currently active parameter sets. This fixes certain classes
of bugs related to splitting/appending.
* mkvinfo: when compiled with newer versions of the `fmt` library, certain
numbers were not output correctly (e.g. a track's audio sampling frequency
of 48000 might be output as 48).
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: deriving the track language from the file name
will match languages case insensitively again (like versions prior to
v55).
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: under certain circumstances keyboard shortcuts
such as `Ctrl+W` for closing the active tab or `Ctrl+R` for starting to
multiplex ceased to work until the user did certain other things (such as
switching to a different tool & back to the multiplexer or opening the
multiplexer menu). This started with v54.
* MKVToolNix GUI: chapter editor: the editor will no longer create empty
`ChapterCountry` elements when adding a chapter name with no default country
selected in the preferences.
Build system changes
* The bundled `fmt` library was updated to v7.1.3.

pkgsrc
pkgsrc is a framework for building software for a variety of UNIX-like systems.
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
pkgin. pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is
/usr/pkg), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a
build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
Bootstrapping
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to bootstrap:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.
Please consult bootstrap/README and bootstrap/README.OS for detailed
information about bootstrapping.
Building packages
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages
(typically /usr/pkg)
On NetBSD, bmake is simply the built-in make tool.
To build packages in bulk, tools such as pkgtools/pbulk and
pkgtools/pkg_comp can be used.
Troubleshooting
- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ freenode.
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkgcategory).
