Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
fd8568873f
The release of giflib 5.1.9 removed GifQuantizeBuffer from its API as it was undocumented. Unfortunately a number of third party programs were relying on this function, and no longer built without it. The original attempt to fix this was to build and install the libgifutil.so library that now contains it, but this was done incorrectly (the SONAME was broken) and required modifying those third party programs anyway to pull in libgifutil (see e.g. multimedia/mplayer-share), which feels like completely missing the point. It is a lot simpler and less error-prone to simply revert the upstream decision and put GifQuantizeBuffer back into the main library. This is the approach that other upstreams (e.g. Fedora) have taken, and so we now do the same. Bump PKGREVISION. |

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.
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).
