Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
bfefd15b6e
Changes from 5.1.0 to 5.1.1
---------------------------
1. Infrastructure upgrades: Bison 3.8, Gettext 0.20.2, Automake 1.16.4,
and (will wonders never cease) Autoconf 2.71.
2. asort and asorti now allow FUNCTAB and SYMTAB as the first argument if a
second destination array is supplied. Similarly, using either array as
the second argument is now a fatal error. Additionally, using either
array as the destination for split(), match(), etc. also causes a
fatal error.
3. The new -I/--trace option prints a trace of the byte codes as they
are executed.
4. A number of subtle bugs relating to MPFR mode that caused differences
between regular operation and MPFR mode have been fixed.
5. The API now handles MPFR/GMP values slightly differently, requiring
different memory management for those values. See the manual for the
details if you have an extension using those values. As a result,
the minor version was incremented.
6. $0 and the fields are now cleared before starting a BEGINFILE rule.
7. The duplication of m4 and build-aux directories between the main
directory and the extension directory has been removed. This
simplifies the distribution.
8. The test suite has been improved, making it easier to run the entire
suite with -M. Use `GAWK_TEST_ARGS=-M make check' to do so.
9. Profiling and pretty-printing output has been modified slightly so
that functions are presented in a reasonable order with respect
to the namespaces that contain them.
10. Several example programs in the manual have been updated to their
modern POSIX equivalents.
11. A number of examples in doc/gawkinet.texi have been updated for
current times. Thanks to Juergen Kahrs for the work.
12. Handling of Infinity and NaN values has been improved.
13. There has been a general tightening up of the use of const and
of types.
14. The "no effect" lint warnings have been fixed up and now behave
more sanely.
15. The manual has been updated with much more information about what is
and is not a bug, and the changes in the gawk mailing lists.
16. The behavior of strongly-typed regexp constants when passed as the
third argument to sub() or gsub() has been clarified in the code and
in the manual.
17. Similar to item #4 above, division by zero is now fatal in MPFR
mode, as it is in regular mode.
18. There have been numerous minor code cleanups and bug fixes. See the
ChangeLog for details.

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.
Community / Troubleshooting
- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ libera.chat.
- Join the community Matrix room #pkgsrc:nil.im
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkgcategory).
