  MASTER_SITE GHR (GITHUB_RELEASE) has been removed.  The same functionality
  can be achieved with just USE_GITHUB/GH_ACCOUNT/GH_PROJECT. GH_TAGNAME
  defaults to DISTVERSION. If the tag needs to be adjusted then change
  GH_TAGNAME. No GH_COMMIT is needed.

20150319:
  AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  USE_GITHUB has been updated to make GH_COMMIT optional.  Using this new
  scheme allows only setting the _tag_ or _commit hash_ in GH_TAGNAME and
  not having to know the hash for a tag.  This scheme will download a tarball
  that has a different checksum than before due to a changed directory name
  for extraction.

  GH_TAGNAME can now be any length of the hash as long as it is unique.  There
  is no longer a 7-character requirement.

  The following MASTER_SITES are provided to retain the old checksum and
  directory structure (that require GH_COMMIT):
    GH -> GHL
    GITHUB -> GITHUB_LEGACY

  Dependencies on the Xfce ports have been migrated to USES. Instead
  of USE_XFCE= configenv, you should use USES= xfce.

  AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org

  New USE_QT4 component has been introduced to reduce buildtime
  dependencies for Qt 4 ports that use localization support. Instead
  of USE_QT4=linguist you should now use USE_QT4=linguisttools_build.
  Conversion of existing ports may require USE_QT4 adjustment for
  missing components.

  Perl now links libperl.so with all .so it builds.  The stage-qa checks have
  been extended to check that libperl.so is in fact linked with .so in
  SITE_ARCH and errors out if none of the .so build by a port are linked with
  it.  It also checks that the rpath and runpath elf attributes are present.

AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime which
  contains runtime libraries such as libintl, and devel/gettext-tools which
  contains build tools such as msgfmt.  You can use USES=gettext-runtime to
  set a LIB/BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-runtime and USES=gettext-tools
  to set a BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools.

  USES=gettext is now the same as "USES=gettext-runtime gettext-tools",
  meaning a LIB_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on
  devel/gettext-tools.

  The way Perl modules are installed has changed.  Before, we had

    site_perl :           lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
    site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
    perl_man3 :           lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3

  Now we have :

    site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
    site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
    perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3

  Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
  Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed.
  It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits.

  As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from
  PLIST_SUB.

  The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now
  always removed, as is perllocal.pod.

  The old site_perl and site_perl/arch directories have been kept in the
  default Perl @INC for all Perl ports, and will be phased out as these old
  Perl versions expire.

  Dependencies on the PostgreSQL ports have been migrated
  to USES. Instead of USE_PGSQL, please use USES=pgsql instead.

    USE_PGSQL=yes becomes USES=pgsql
    WANT_PGSQL_VER=91+ becomes USES=pgsql:9.1+
    USE_PGSQL=server becomes USES=pgsql and WANT_PGSQL=server

20141118:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  To ease future work, a new SITE_ARCH variable and PLIST_SUB replacement
  containing SITE_PERL/PERL_ARCH has been added.

20141102:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  SSP is now default. This can be disabled with WITHOUT_SSP.
  SSP_CFLAGS defaults to -fstack-protector.
  SSP will be used on all amd64 releases. It will only be used on i386
  releases over 10.0.

20141007:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  The @cwd [path] construct in plist files is deprecated.  Instead of adding
  those lines to the plist:

  @cwd /
  etc/rc.d/foo
  var/db/bar
  @cwd /some
  @exec mkdir -p %D/nested/dir

  add this:

  /etc/rc.d/foo
  /var/db/bar
  @exec mkdir -p /some/nested/dir

20141002:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  New BUNDLE_LIBS knobs to allow a port to tell pkg(8) not to compute provided
  libraries, this is to be used when a port bundles libraries it doesn't want
  to expose to other ports.

20141001:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  Support for autoconf213, autoheader213, aclocal14 and automake14 has been
  removed from USE_AUTOTOOLS.

20140930:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  Building ports in a chroot or jail have always required a particular
  environment be setup. This was not clear though and the ports framework
  did not enforce it. These requirements are:
    1. Either a SRC_BASE/sys/sys/param.h, or /usr/include/sys/param.h be
       present with the __FreeBSD_version_ number of the target system,
       or OSVERSION be set in the environment. Lack of these would fallback
       on kern.osreldate before, which is no longer the case.
    2. UNAME_r,UNAME_v,UNAME_s all must be set for the target system.

  Not having these values in sync will now cause the build to error until it is
  resolved.

  Setting these in the environment can be done via your own wrapper scripts,
  or /etc/login.conf (along with cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf) or
  via /etc/make.conf using appropriate values. Note that OSVERSION is redundant
  if a proper param.h is in the environment:

    OSVERSION+=     1100036
    UNAME_ENV+=     OSVERSION=${OSVERSION}
    UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_s=FreeBSD
    UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_r=11.0-CURRENT
    UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_v="${UNAME_s} ${UNAME_r}"
    .MAKEFLAGS:     ${UNAME_ENV}
    MAKE_ENV+=      ${UNAME_ENV}
    CONFIGURE_ENV+= ${UNAME_ENV}
    SCRIPTS_ENV+=   ${UNAME_ENV}

20140922:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  pkg(8) now handles the directories under PREFIX automatically,
  and will automatically remove them as needed.
  A new @dir keyword has been introduced to handle directories specially:
  - directories with special owner, group, or permissions (access mode)
  - empty directories
  - directories out of PREFIX
  As a consequence @dirrm and @dirrmtry are now considered deprecated.

  Credentials can now be passed in arguments to keywords
  (the empty keyword means "regular file"):
  @(user,group,mode) file1
  @dir(user,group,mode) directory_with_special_owner_or_mode

  PLIST_DIRSTRY is now considered deprecated, use PLIST_DIRS instead.

20140917:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  Support for USE_AUTOTOOLS=libtool, USE_GNOME=ltasneededhack,
  USE_GNOME=lthack and USE_GNOME=ltverhack has been removed.
  Ports should use USES=libtool instead.

  Support for USE_AUTOTOOLS=libltdl has been removed.
  Ports should use LIB_DEPENDS=libltdl.so:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libltdl

20140916:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  The installation of *.la files without some form of USES=libtool in the
  port Makefile will now result in a stage-qa error.
  Previously this would only cause a warning.

  The :keepla argument to USES=libtool is no longer special.  It is now
  only needed if a port uses *.la files at run time and no longer to fix
  link problems in other ports.

20140901:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  Support for pkg_install has been removed.
  Note that WITH_PKGNG is now called WITH_PKG (still used to define 'devel')
  WITH_PKGNG remains for compatibility
  @stopdaemon support has gone, pkg(8) has a generic mechanism to
  provide the same function, see HANDLE_RC_SCRIPTS in pkg.conf(5).

20140901:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  Support for NO_STAGE has been removed.

20140825:
AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org

  Support for NOPORTDATA has been removed.

20140809:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  The Python language bits of the ports framework have been converted
  to USES. Instead of USE_PYTHON, please use USES=python instead.

    USE_PYTHON=yes becomes USES=python
    USE_PYTHON=2.7+ becomes USES=python:2.7+
    USE_PYTHON_BUILD=3.3 becomes USES=python:3.3,build
    ...

  Additionally, several Python specific features have been converted
  to USES-inspired USE_PYTHON=<featureA>,<featureB>.

    USE_PYDISTUTILS becomes USE_PYTHON=distutils
    PYDISTUTILS_AUTOPLIST becomes USE_PYTHON=autoplist
    ...

  Please read the header comments of Uses/python.mk for more details
  about the new and changed bits and pieces. You will find a list of
  deprecated variables and how to replace them in your own ports at
  the end of the header comment.

20140715:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  LIB_DEPENDS only supports one form: lib*.so

20140708:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  Support for installations based on the easy_install setup.py target has
  been removed from the Ports framework for Python software. The
  PYEASYINSTALL_* knobs and support for USE_PYDISTUTILS=easy_install have
  been removed.

20140623:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  IGNOREFILES is not supported anymore, it was an unsafe feature allowing to
  use unchecked files downloaded from untrusted places to be used in the ports
  tree.

20140607:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  New PYTHON_CONCURRENT_INSTALL knob to support the parallel installation
  of ports for different python versions.

  If set to yes, the knob indicates that the port can be installed for
  different python versions at the same time. The port will use a unique
  prefix for certain directories using USES=uniquefiles:dirs (see the
  uniquefiles.mk Uses for details about the directories). Binaries
  receive an additional suffix, based on ${PYTHON_VER}.

  The values for the uniquefiles USES are set as follows:

    UNIQUE_PREFIX=  ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}
    UNIQUE_SUFFIX=  -${PYTHON_VER}

  If the port is installed for the current default python version, scripts and
  binaries in

    ${PREFIX}/bin
    ${PREFIX}/sbin
    ${PREFIX}/libexec

  are linked from the prefixed version to the prefix-less original name,
  e.g. bin/foo-2.7 --> bin/foo.

20140529:
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org

  USE_GMAKE is no longer supported, please use USES=gmake instead

20140526:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  USE_DOS2UNIX is no longer supported, USES=dos2unix should be used instead

20140525:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  Add a USE_PERL5=fixpacklist to account for ports creating a .packlist file
  referencing ${STAGEDIR} when not using USE_PERL5=configure or
  USE_PERL5=modbuildtiny.

20140505:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  :U and :L syntax is not supported anymore in the ports tree, :tu and :tl
  should be used instead

  This makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) version that does not
  support :tu and :tl (aka FreeBSD 8.3 and earlier)

20140428:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  EXTRA_PATCHES has been extended to support a new syntax:

  EXTRA_PATCHES=    file:-pX

  Where X is the pathname strip count passed to patch(1)

20140423:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  The semantics of USES=libtool have changed.  It now deletes .la libraries
  from the staging area to reduce overlinking.  USES=libtool:keepla can be
  used in case they need to be kept.  This form still modifies .la libraries
  to remove references to other libraries to reduce overlinking.

  Note that .la libraries have to kept around as long as there are .la
  libraries from other ports that refer to them.  Those ports need to use
  some form of USES=libtool first such that those references are removed.

20140419:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  check-orphans has been renamed to check-plist. It now checks:
    A. Files in STAGEDIR that are missing from plist.
       To make check-plist ignore a file *as an orphan* do one of the
       following:
        1. Install it
        2. post-install: ${RM} ${STAGEDIR}file
        3. Put the file behind an OPTION with a PLIST_SUB: %%OPTION%%file
        4. Add to plist as a @comment
           @comment file
           @comment @dirrmtry dir
    B. Files in plist missing from STAGEDIR
    C. Files in plist which are owned by dependencies/MTREEs

20140416:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  The default target for 'make' now runs 'make stage' if the port supports
  it, otherwise 'make build' as before.

20140411:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  A new plist keyword has been added, @sample. It accepts a file (must end in
  .sample):

    @sample file.conf.sample

  This will install file.conf.sample and copy it to file.conf. The file.conf
  will be removed if it matches file.conf.sample on deinstall.

  This replaces older patterns of:

    @unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/pkgtools.conf %D/etc/pkgtools.conf.sample; then rm -f %D/etc/pkgtools.conf; fi
    etc/pkgtools.conf.sample
    @exec [ -f %B/pkgtools.conf ] || cp %B/%f %B/pkgtools.conf

20140312:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  Two new USES were added to finish handling distfiles formats a consistent way:

  USES=tar[:[xz|bzip2|Z|tgz]] handles distributions files in format:
  - plain tar
  - tar.xz
  - tar.bz2
  - tar.Z
  - tgz

  USES=lha handles distributions files info LHA format

20140307:
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org

  Two new USES were added by bapt@FreeBSD.org :

  USES=zip handles distribution files in Zip format. InfoZip files
  need USES=zip:infozip

  USES=makeself handles distribution files in makeself format.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

  Add support for Qt 5 via USE_QT5. USE_QT5 is analogous to USE_QT4,
  the only difference is the list of available components
  (see Mk/bsd.qt.mk for details). USES=qmake supports Qt 5 as well.

20140127:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  Add two new options helpers:

  ${OPT}_${TYPE}_DEPENDS_OFF=<something> will automatically add:
  ${TYPE_DEPENDS}+=<something> in case OPT is 'off'

  ${OPT}_${FLAG}_OFF=<something> will automatically add:
  ${FLAG}+=<something> in case OPT is 'off'

20140111:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  New USES=uniquefiles to make files or directories unique
  by adding a prefix or suffix to them.

  Files listed in UNIQUE_PREFIX_FILES will receive the prefix
  set via UNIQUE_PREFIX. The same applies to UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES,
  but with the chosen UNIQUE_SUFFIX. UNIQUE_PREFIX and
  UNIQUE_SUFFIX are set to PKGNAMEPREFIX and PKGNAMESUFFIX by
  default.
  The uniquefiles USES enables ports to name files in special
  ways, e.g. by outlining that the port does not support X11
  (-nox11). A binary named bin/foo thus can be easily renamed
  to bin/foo-featureA via

  USES=         uniquefiles
  UNIQUE_SUFFIX=    -featureA
  UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES=  bin/foo

  The uniquefiles USES automatically adjusts the plist at
  installation time. There is no need to consider the prefix
  or suffix in the pkg-plist file itself. If the original name
  of the renamed file is bin/foo, this exact name should be put
  into pkg-plist.

  The dirs argument to USES=uniquefiles will cause certain
  standard directories, such as DOCSDIR or EXAMPLESDIR to be
  prepended with the UNIQUE_PREFIX. The change to the directories
  will hapen prior to configuring or building the port, so that
  the port Makefile as well as the port's build logic are aware
  of the changed name.

  Since the uniquefiles USES effectively manipulates the port's
  installation and file layout, it will only be available for
  stagedir-aware ports. Ports with NO_STAGE=yes will be unable
  to use the uniquefiles USES.

20131218:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  lang/python (and as such the 'python' binary and accomplices)
  has been removed as default dependency for the USE_PYTHON,
  USE_PYTHON_BUILD and USE_PYTHON_RUN knobs.

  Ports need to use a designated (default) python interpreter
  to build and install and in most cases for execution in the user
  environment. Ports that install python scripts, which are not
  limited to a certain python version (or version range), can
  include lang/python as build and/or run dependency.

  USE_PYTHON=yes and similar knobs will only pull in the
  default python version (e.g. lang/python27), but none
  of the meta ports or lang/python itself.

  Please use lang/python as build or run-time dependency only,
  if there is no other way to get a port working properly, since
  the usage of lang/python complicates package builds for different
  python versions.

20131213:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

  New USES=fortran to replace USE_FORTRAN.

  USE_FORTRAN=yes can be replaced with USES=fortran or USES=fortran:gcc.
  USE_FORTRAN=ifort can be replaced with USES=fortran:ifort.
  USE_FORTRAN=f77 is deprecated and the version of gcc it depends
  on (lang/gcc34) is scheduled to be removed.

  Note that USE_FORTRAN=yes also makes GCC the C/C++ compiler while
  USES=fortran only sets the Fortran compiler and can be used together
  with Clang as C/C++ compiler.

20131208:
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org

  New USES=twisted, to replace the old USE_TWISTED knob.

  twisted can be configured with the arguments run or build to replace
  the previous USE_TWISTED_RUN and USE_TWISTED_BUILD knobs. The twisted
  components can be added as comma-separated arguments. If you previously
  wrote
    USE_TWISTED=    yes
    USE_TWISTED=    conch names
    USE_TWISTED_RUN=    yes
  you now would write
    USES=   twisted
    USES=   twisted:conch,names
    USES=   twisted:run

20131119:
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org

  The USE_GNOME component ltverhack no longer has a hard dependancy on
  libtool.

  If USE_AUTOTOOLS=libtool isn't defined it will try to patch ltmain.sh
  and or libtool in ${WRKSRC}. If those files are located somewhere else
  in ${WRKSRC} then it is possible to overwrite ltverhack_PATCH_FILES
  with there new locations. configure script --distable-static will work also
  after using the "new" ltverhack.

  Please keep in mind that USE_AUTOTOOLS implies GNU_CONFIGURE so you might
  need to add that back for the port to work.

20131031:
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org

  Add a new USES for kernel module ports.

  USES=kmod takes no arguments and:
  - adds kld to CATEGORIES
  - sets SSP_UNSAFE
  - sets IGNORE if the kernel sources are not found
  - defines KMODDIR to /boot/modules by default, add it to
    PLIST_SUB and MAKE_ENV, and create it upon installation
  - handles cross-referencing kernel modules upon installation and
    deinstallation

20131021:
AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org

  share/applications directory was added to the mtree, meaning that
  you no longer need to create or remove it in your ports.

20131008:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  New "compiler" USES to be able to select the compiler based on the
  features it provides.
  Supported arguments are:
  - c++11-lang: the port needs a c++11 aware compiler what ever standard
  library it uses, implies features
  - c++11-lib: the port needs a c++11 standard library, implies features
  - c11: the ports needs a c11 aware compiler implies features
  - features: this will create a COMPILER_FEATURES variable which contains
  the list of features ${CC} do support, implies env.
  - env: the COMPILER_TYPE will be set to either gcc or clang.

  By default the uses will try to use clang33 from ports when nothing in
  base is relevant except if the user explicitly defines
  FAVORITE_COMPILER=gcc in his make.conf

20131008:
AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org

  New USES: qmake, configure tool widely used among Qt based projects.
  New framework is stage-friendly. To convert existing ports remove
  custom configure target, adjust QMAKE_ENV, QMAKE_ARGS, QMAKE_PRO if
  required (see Mk/Uses/qmake.mk for details).

20131005:
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  PATCHFILES now support an optional :-pX flag that notes which patch strip
  level to use. This allows multiple patches in 1 port to use different
  PATCH_DIST_STRIP values without changing PATCH_DIST_STRIP.

  Syntax: PATCHFILES= patch[:-pX][:distgroup]

20131003:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  New USES: scons, to handle properly the scons building system, this
  this also gives the scons packages user the ability to respect MAKE_JOBS.

20130924:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  Stage aware ports can now create package without the requirement from
  being root.
  If a port really needs root anyway it should add NEED_ROOT in its
  Makefile.

  For a port that needs special credential on files DO NOT RELY on
  chown in post-install section but rely on @own, @group in pkg-plist
  Be careful about rights on directories as pkg_install cannot store them
  they needs to be done via @exec chown.

20130923:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  The ports tree is now staged by default. With pkgng the sequence hasn't
  changed, the main difference is that creating package is now independent
  from installing it. With pkg_install, the package is now created first
  and make install, do install the package.

  New macros:
  - STAGEDIR: PATH to the directory where the port will be staged.
  - NO_STAGE: Keep the old behaviour of the ports tree (aka no staging area)

  Unsupported macro if NO_STAGE is not set:
  - MAN* with staging man page compression and handling of hardlinks and
  symlinks is automatically done in the stage. the manpages becomes then a
  "normal" plist files and should be tracked in pkg-plist.
  - MANCOMPRESSED the compress-man target is able to only compress when it
  needed.

  New target:
  - stage: this installs everything into the stage directory
  - makeplist: this will create a pkg-plist and print it to stdout. This is
  a sample plist and it should always be _reviewed_ not directly used.

  NOTE: with staging only what is in the plist will be installed, nothing more,
  meaning a port staged cannot have leftovers except directories left. It is
  really important to double check the pkg-plist to make sure all the files
  the maintainer wants to package are in! make makeplist can help in that area.

  * New USES: zope

  This replaces the previous USE_ZOPE knob. All other zope related knobs
  for port Makefiles still exist. See Mk/Uses/zope.mk for details.

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

  SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP_PORTS for i386 and amd64
  on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.

  SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
  this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
  Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
  LDFLAGS.

  On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
  libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].

  On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP_PORTS knob will add -lssp_nonshared
  to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
  ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
  as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk
  symbols.

  This uses replaces all the previous USE_TCL, USE_TCL_BUILD, USE_TCL_RUN,
  USE_TCL_WRAPPER, USE_TK, USE_TK_BUILD, USE_TK_RUN and USE_TK_WRAPPER macros.

  See the Mk/Uses/tcl.mk and the commit message of r327607 for details.

  Moreover, the default Tcl/Tk version is now specified in terms of
  bsd.default-versions.mk. It is now possible to specify one's preferred Tcl/Tk
  version using DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= tcltk=x.y in make.conf.

  To allow ports to work with the iconv implementation in 10-CURRENT after
  commit r254273 the USES=iconv options now conditionally adds a dependency
  depending on the FreeBSD version. It also defines a few utility variables
  which can be used in the ports:

  ICONV_CMD:    location of the iconv binary.

  OPTIONS_SUB=yes when set in a port, all the option names are automatically
  added to the PLIST_SUB with "@comment " value in case the option is off and
  empty value in case the options is on.

    a display to build.

  USES= display[:install] will start Xvfb and set the DISPLAY environment
  variable before the installation phase and stop it at the end. (install is
  the implicit value)

  USES= display:build will start Xvfb and set the DISPLAY environment variable
  before the build phase and stop it at the end.

  * Checks were added to block GH_TAGNAME=master as this is not a valid
    setup. A known hash or tag should be used for GH_TAGNAME instead of
    a branch name. As soon as a branch is updated, the known checksum
    in the distinfo would then be invalid.

20130606:

    to use a subdirectory:

  WRKSRC=       ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}/src

  Becomes:

  WRKSRC_SUBDIR=    src

20130606:

AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org

  * Two new USES macros to handle mime data of ports.

  USES= desktop-file-utils
    Handles MimeType in .desktop files that are installed in
    share/applications.
  USES= shared-mime-info
    For supporting mime xml files installed in
    share/mime/packages.

  The desktop-file-utils USES is only needed if the .desktop files
  installed by the port has a MimeType field.
  USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils is deprecated.

  The shared-mime-info USES handles mime types xml files.
  Please note that only the packages/${NAME}.xml file should be listed in
  the plist. The shared-mime-info port will clean up the share/mime/*
  directories and generated files.

  Both USES have there own post-install and code that adds @exec/@unexec
  lines to the pkg-plist. This means that when a port switches to the
  USES macro, the related post-install command  and @exec/@unexec
  lines can be removed from the prot.

20130507:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  * New USES macro to handle setting correct shebang to scripts

  By default it will fix bash, perl, php, ruby and python on all files specified
  in the SHEBANG_FILES macro (glob pattern relative to ${WRKSRC})

  if no port version is installed otherwise it will link against port version
  USES= ncurses:port will for the port to link against the ports version of
  ncurses
  USES= ncurses:base will force to link against base version of ncurses.

  USES= readline will make the port link against base version of readline except
  on 10+ where it will force dependency on the port version of readline
  USES= readline:port will anyway force dependency on the port version of
  readline.

   CMAKE_OUTSOURCE:

   USES= cmake:outsource
   to perform out-of-source build (equivalent to former pair usage of
   USE_CMAKE/CMAKE_OUTSOURCE)

   USES= cmake
   In-source build (equivalent to plain USE_CMAKE=yes) can be used if
   project doesn't support out-of-source build.

20130207:
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org

  * Use of PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS is unsupported. The former
    expands to the empty string, while the second is simply -pthread.
    Please use -pthread directly in your LDFLAGS, if needed.

AUTHOR: flo@FreeBSD.org

  * Add a USE_FUSE macro to handle fuse dependencies. It makes
    sure sysutils/fusefs-libs gets installed and depending on
    fuse being in base or not it installs sysutils/fusefs-kmod.

  * IPV6 option is now activated by default for the whole ports tree

20121010:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  * The ports tree is now using pkgng as the default package manager
    for HEAD.  This only affects users of CURRENT -- users of other
    branches need not take any action.

    To keep pkg_install as the default package manager, use the new
    WITHOUT_PKGNG knob in make.conf

20120830:
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org

  * CCACHE support for building ports has been added (depends on
    devel/ccache). Therefore new user settable variables are available:

    WITH_CCACHE_BUILD - Enable CCACHE support (Default off)

    NO_CCACHE         - Disable CCACHE support for example for certain
                        ports if CCACHE is enabled.

    By default CCACHE uses $HOME/.ccache as cache directory. To use
    a non-default cache directory this could be overwritten like:

    MAKE_ENV+= CCACHE_DIR=/var/cache/ccache

20120820:
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org

  * GitHub support has been integrated into bsd.sites.mk. In order to
    fetch distfiles from GitHub, a port must define USE_GITHUB along
    with the following variables:

    GH_ACCOUNT  - account name of the GitHub user hosting the project
                  default: not set, mandatory

    GH_PROJECT  - name of the project on GitHub
                  default: ${PORTNAME}

    GH_TAGNAME  - name of the tag to download (master, 2.0.1, ...)
                  default: ${DISTVERSION}

    GH_COMMIT   - first 7 digits of the commit that generated GH_TAGNAME
                  (man git-describe(1))
                  default: not set, mandatory

    The port www/tivoka is an example how to use this mechanism.

  * The ports tree moved from CVS to Subversion. A Subversion to
    CVS exporter is in place to continue the support of CVSup but
    do not commit to pcvs directly.

    All commits have to be done in the new port Subversion repository
    on svn.FreeBSD.org. You will find more information about
    Subversion in the Ports Subversion Primer in the FreeBSD wiki,
    in the "Committer's Guide" and the "Porter's Handbook".

  * LDFLAGS is now passed to both the configure and make environments,
    and should be handled just like CPPFLAGS (see previous entry).

    Summarizing both LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS changes, where you would
    have used
      CONFIGURE_ENV=    CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
                        LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
      MAKE_ENV=         CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
                        LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
    now just use
      CPPFLAGS+=        "-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
      LDFLAGS+=         "-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"

    Note that it's advised to append these variables (+=) instead
    of overriding (=) to allow customization by user.

AUTHOR: gerald@FreeBSD.org

  * CPPFLAGS is now passed to both the configure and make environments,
    so this no longer needs to happen in individual ports by adding this
    to CONFIGURE_ENV or MAKE_ENV.  Rather, just set CPPFLAGS in the port
    Makefile (if necessary).

    For example, where you would have used
      CONFIGURE_ENV=    CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
      MAKE_ENV=         SOMETHING=foo CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
    now just use
      CPPFLAGS=         "-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
      MAKE_ENV          SOMETHING=foo

    ... if you want your port to create the foo user and
    group.

  * sourceforge.net has changed their URL layout to be more
    flexible for their users.  A new bsd.sites.mk macro SFP
    has been added for projects that moved from

    to
    http://${mirror}/project/%SUBDIR%/
    Note that %SUBDIR% is now highly individual for each
    project and might need changing as well.

    japanese/ghostscript-gnu-jpnfont -> print/ghostscript7-jpnfont
    korean/ghostscript-gnu-korfont -> print/ghostscript7-korfont

  * USE_GHOSTSCRIPT now supports a version number which the port
    requires.  The valid value is "7" or "8".  If other value is
    specified, value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is used.

  * WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU has been removed in favor of
    WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER.  The valid value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is
    "7" or "8", and the default value is "8".

20080821:
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org

   * CONFIGURE_ARGS is updated to use correct syntax for newer autoconf
     on the configure target. Individual ports no longer need to change
     CONFIGURE_TARGET to have the '--build=' prefix.

  * Default OpenLDAP version was changed from 2.3 to 2.4.

  * USE_GTK and USE_XPM variables are no longer recognized.

20080523:

  * By default, ports-mgmt/pkg_install now sets up a wrapper to use ports
    pkg_install (when installed) instead of base when the former is more
    recent. This can be disabled in the options menu, or with the
    WITHOUT_WRAPPER knob.

  * @rmtry is now supported in pkg-plist.

  * USE_DISPLAY made more powerful, see comments in bsd.port.mk for details.

  * ${PW} is now defined.

  * LIB_DEPENDS can now be used with libraries with + sign in their name
    without the need for escaping.

20080312:

  * USE_XPM no longer implies USE_XLIB.

  * USE_LDCONFIG can now be used to Linux binary ports that install shared
    libraries instead of INSTALLS_SHLIB.

20070908:
AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org, linimon@FreeBSD.org

  * The Perl-related code parts have been extracted from bsd.port.mk to
    bsd.perl.mk.  This includes the user-settable knobs (e.g. USE_PERL5)
    and infrastructure parts of the code, like default targets.  The new
    code is designed to be conditionally included based on either
    USE_PERL5_*, PERL_CONFIGURE, or PERL_MODBUILD being set.  However,
    some of the default settings remain in bsd.port.mk while we make
    sure that all ports comply with this.

  * A convenient version handling has been implemented for Perl-related
    knobs.  With this new feature one can require a minimal, a maximal or an
    exact version, that the given port needs.  For the full description and
    some examples, please see the documentation in bsd.perl.mk.

20070804:
AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:

  * The variable definitions that cover command line tools, e.g. MKDIR, were
    extracted from bsd.port.mk into bsd.commands.mk, so that we can
    reuse them within the infrastructure later.

  * The old DESTDIR implementation was removed both from the infrastructure,
    and from the individual ports.  Variables like TARGETDIR should not longer
    be used.

  * A new DESTDIR implementation has been added, implemented in bsd.destdir.mk.
    The new implementation puts no requirements on the individual ports.

20070730:
AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org

  * The default Python version has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x.

  * A number of variables have been added to bsd.python.mk to support
    the more integrated support for Python eggs, including:
    PYDISTUTILS_PKGNAME, PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION, PYEASYINSTALL_EGG,
    PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO, PYDISTUTILS_EGGINFO, PYEASYINSTALL_ARCHDEP

  * More detailed descriptions of the variables can be found in the comments

  * Add knob USE_FORTRAN for ports which uses FORTRAN. All ports uses
    FORTRAN compiler should use this knob. Usages are: USE_FORTRAN=yes
    (default;gfortran42), USE_FORTRAN=ifc (Intel FORTRAN compiler)
    and USE_FORTRAN=g77 (/usr/bin/f77 or g77-34).

20070701:

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:

  * The 'make-deinstall-all' target now checks for moved ports.

  * The installation directories PORTEXAMPLES and PORTDATA are now defined.

  * The USE_MAKESELF knob is added for ports that use the makeself archiver.

  * The description of fetch-list was updated.  The targets fetch-required-list,
    fetch-url-list, and fetch-urlall-list were added.

  * 'make search' will also now search in ports/MOVED.

  * The default method for 'make update' is now portsnap.  Previously,
    you had to manually select one of 3 methods: SUP_UPDATE, CVS_UPDATE,
    or PORTSNAP_UPDATE.  The latter is now obsolete.

  * Several Makevar definitions have been moved to the pre-makefile section:
    DATADIR, DOCSDIR, ETCDIR, EXAMPLESDIR, WWWDIR.

20070403:
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:

  * The default dependency of USE_GHOSTSCRIPT has been changed from
    ghostscript-gnu to ghostscript-gpl.  The WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL variable is

  * bsd.tcl.mk was overhauled.  Most importantly, the semantics of USE_TCL* and
    USE_TK* variables was changed.  USE_TCL and USE_TK now implies both build
    and run dependencies, USE_TCL_RUN and USE_TK_BUILD variables were
    introduced. Existing ports in the tree were modified.

  * Unused category 'tcl81' was removed, and new categories 'tcl' and 'tk'
    were added.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:

  * Default LIBTOOLFILES value was changed from literal `configure'
    to ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT}.

  * bsd.efl.mk was moved to ports/Mk.  USE_EFL family of macros is now
    generally available to all ports.

  * New macros COPYTREE_BIN and COPYTREE_SHARE were added, to allow
    for easy installation of a tree hierarchy, either with executable (bin)
    or read-only (share) permissions on files.

  * A new variable WWWDIR was added, with default value of
    ${PREFIX}/www/${PORTNAME}.

  * Variables DOCSDIR_REL, DATADIR_REL, EXAMPLESDIR_REL and WWWDIR_REL were
    added for porter's convenience.  They contain the values of their
    respective non-REL variables, except relative to installation PREFIX.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:

  * The remaining vestiges of FreeBSD 4.X support were removed.  Any
    remaining users of 4.X should have stayed with the RELEASE_4_EOL tag.

  * It is now possible to include USE_PHP after bsd.port.pre.mk.

  * 'make search' should now work with non-default ${PORTSDIR}.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:

  * DEPENDS variable was removed, please use other *_DEPENDS variables instead.

  * A new pkg-plist keyword is available, @stopdaemon.  It will call forcestop
    on all rc.subr scripts installed by the port on deinstall, effectively
    stopping services on deinstall/upgrade.

  * rc.subr script suffix is now available in Makefile as RC_SUBR_SUFFIX.

  * New variable USE_CDRTOOLS was introduced.  It replaced direct dependencies
    on sysutils/cdrtools port.  It now automatically support switching to
    cdrtools-cjk port when user specified WITH_CJK.  All ports were converted.

  * USE_DOS2UNIX, infrastructure for converting DOS to UNIX line feeds, was
    enhanced by a new variable DOS2UNIX_REGEX.  It allows to specify a find
    -iregex parameter to limit touched files by file extensions.

  * Support for partially translated manpages was added.  For examples of
    usage, please refer to Porter's Handbook.

  * USE_TCL/USE_TK variables were changed to provide runtime dependency.  New
    variables USE_TCL_BUILD and USE_TK_BUILD were added.  All unintuitive
    quirks of these variables were fixed.

  * USE_LDCONFIG was fixed to work properly for ports, that specify @cwd in the
    pkg-plists.

  * Old bsd.java.mk version 1.0 macros were removed.

  * New category: ports-mgmt

  * New virtual category: gnustep

  * Unused 'picobsd' category was removed.

The following changes have been introduced to the GNOME porting process
during the GNOME 2.16 update:

* GNOME is now installed into LOCALBASE.  Any port which makes use of the
  gnomeprefix component will have its PREFIX forced to LOCALBASE

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:

  * The bsd.port.mk pre and post includes have been split into 3 pieces
    instead of 2, to allow OPTIONS to be able to influence dependencies.
    This is still experimental and not yet enabled by any port.  This adds
    the file 'bsd.port.options.mk'.

  * bsd.gcc.mk has been updated to understand gfortran.

  * emulators/linux_base is now removed.  linux_base-fc4 has been the default
    for some time.

  * The USE_FIREBIRD macro was added to bsd.database.mk.

 The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:

  * PKGVERSION was introduced as an intermediate variable refactored out of
    PKGNAME.

  * bsd.lua.mk was added to support lua-related ports.

  * DESTDIR was removed from bsd.scons.mk because it was problematic.

  * Some quotes were added to the 'missing' target to improve handling of
    duplicate origins.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:

  * MASTER_SITES variable can now look like MACRO1/subdir1 MACRO2/subdir2, and
    be expanded in a way that you expect it to, that is apply different subdirs
    to different sites. You can safely replace ${M_S_FOO:S/%SUBDIR%/bar/} with
    FOO/bar.

  * If M_S_SUBDIR is unset, a macro in M_S won't set it anymore, but rather
    substitute %SUBDIR% all by itself. Now it's possible to use macros with
    different default subdirs and they will expand in a proper way.

20060805:
AUTHOR: sat@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:

  * MASTER_SITES variable can now contain special macros which are expanded into
    traditional URL[:group] syntax and cause some convenient effects, e.g. set a
    default M_S_SUBDIR.

  * A macro is any space-delimited word in MASTER_SITES without a forward slash.

  * If MASTER_SITE_<macro> is defined, then the macro is expanded to its value.

  * Abbreviated macros are provided for extremely popular locations, e.g. CPAN
    and SF. To avoid further obfuscation their unabbreviated equivalents should
    be avoided.

  * Popular macros can trigger M_S_SUBDIR to default to a predefined value, e.g.
    ${PORTNAME:L} for SF and ${PORTNAME:C/-.*//} for CPAN.

  * Abbreviations and M_S_SUBDIR defaults are defined by MASTER_SITES_ABBREVS
    and MASTER_SITES_SUBDIRS, both set in bsd.sites.mk.

  * If a macro belongs to a group (e.g. SF:source1), all the sites it expands
    into also belong to the same group.

  * Macros and traditional URL's can be mixed safely, their order stays intact.

AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:

  * Add DESTDIR support to let one install ports into a jail from outside.
    A package is installed under ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX} now and registered under
    ${DESTDIR}/var/db/pkg.

  * TARGETDIR variable has been added for referencing ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}.

  * LOCALBASE, LINUXBASE and X11BASE variables point to the final destination
    now, LOCALBASE_REL, LINUXBASE_REL and X11BASE_REL can be used for the
    old behavior.  The behavior has not been changed in PLIST_SUB.
    Note, that the three variables are still overridable with a hack, so this
    change doesn't affect POLA, but necessary for DESTDIR support.

  * OSVERSION is now determined from the userland, not from the kernel.
    Cross-compiling between releases is still not supported, but this
    behavior is more correct for jails with differing userland from
    the kernel version.

  * Add some sanity check for PREFIX and DESTDIR.  This can be skipped by
    defining IGNORE_PATH_CHECKS, but very discouraged.

  * Deinstalling from DESTDIR, determining if a port is already installed in
    DESTDIR, etc. are implemented by chrooting those specific commands.

  * Text changes to reflect that we are installing to DESTDIR, removing from
    DESTDIR, etc.

Note, that this change implements only the infrastructure support.  Ports should
also be implemented to respect DESTDIR.

  * Adds some infrastructure for support of 32-bit i386 apps on amd64.

  * Again fix USE_LDCONFIG logic to make it work with non-default PREFIX to
    fix bug introduced in previous revision.

  * Change all bogus uses of BROKEN to IGNORE.  (Note: the BROKEN_WITH_*
    forms are retained for compatibility but deprecated.)  Internally,
    these variables all had already set IGNORE, not BROKEN, so they
    were really misnomers.

  * Fix USE_LDCONFIG with non-default PREFIX.

    Note that this directory is used by ldconfig startup script, it is meant
    to replace ldconfig scripts installed by some ports as (sometimes
    000.${UNQUENAME}.sh) [6]

  * Adds USE_LDCONFIG32 which is like USE_LDCONFIG but the target file is
    ${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig32/${UNIQUENAME} instead.  (Note: this should
    only be used on 64-bit architectures) [6]

  GNOME has been upgraded from 2.10.2 to 2.12.1.  This update brings with
  it many important porting changes:

  - gtk20's pkg-config file no longer contains the X11 pango modules.
    Therefore, if your port requires these modules, you may have to
    manually patch them in to your port's Makefiles.  Contact
    gnome@FreeBSD.org if you have questions on this.

  - A new USE_GNOME component, ltverhack, has been added.  This
    pseudo-component hacks libtool so that shared library versions are
    more consistent with other operating systems.  Using this component
    can prevent unnecessary shared library version changes.

  - A new macro, INSTALLS_ICONS, has been added.  If your port installs
    Freedesktop-style icons to ${LOCALBASE}/share/icons or
    ${X11BASE}/share/icons, then you should use this macro.  NOTE:
    use of this macro requires your port to set either USE_GNOME or
    WANT_GNOME.

  - USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
    tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not necessary anymore to override
    STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
  - USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
  - In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the Linux X11 libraries
    instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
  - The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
    item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
    default (or overridden) Linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
    instead of a hardcoded reference.
  - If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
    port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
    be marked as IGNORE.

  The CVSup port has been upgraded with a patch to correct the
  handling of the "refuse" file for files that are in the CVS Attic.
  This solves a problem some people were having, where CVSup would
  delete their ports/INDEX* files even though the files were listed
  in the "refuse" file.  The bug fix is in the cvsupd server, so
  mirror sites  must upgrade their servers in order for this fix to
  help.  Meanwhile, adding "ports/Attic/INDEX*" to the refuse file

  * Introduce two new variables: MASTER_PORT and SLAVE_PORT.
    The results from these variables is only used as information for
    users.

  * Honor OPTIONS if PACKAGE_BUILDING or BATCH are defined.

  * Move all USE_GCC entries to new file - bsd.gcc.mk.  'test-gcc'
    target allows users to check gcc version if USE_GCC is used.
    Give maintainers opportunity to add '+' character to USE_GCC version
    for using specified and higher versions.

  * Add three new targets: config-recursive, rmconfig-recursive and
    config-conditional.  You can set or delete OPTIONS for all

    SUB_LIST+=  "VERSION=${VERSION}"

    This looks for ${FILESDIR}/pkg-message.in and ${FILESDIR}/pkg-install.in

  * Document DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE variables.

  * Sanitize the intermittent output by the build infrastructure
    so that cutting and pasting from it no longer interferes
    with GNATS-tags.

  * Honor configure arguments for USE_XLIB if USE/WITH_LIBTOOL_ is
    used.

  There has been a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more
  flexibility and new features.
  Now a port may depend on a specific set of PHP extensions.  To do so,
  simply replace:

  USE_PHP=  yes

  with:

  USE_PHP=  ext1 ext2 ext3 ...

  in the port Makefile. A list of all PHP extensions is included in bsd.php.mk.
  If the requirement is a build dependency too, the port should also define:

  USE_PHP_BUILD=yes

  Moreover, the new knob WANT_PHP_SCR has been added to indicate that the port
  requires the 'php' binary to run.
  Last but not least, many common operations to build/install/register a
  PHP extension can now be omitted from the port Makefile if it defines:

  USE_PHPEXT=   yes

  For more information on this point and on additional variables, see
  bsd.php.mk.

  OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default.
  When your port links against the openldap client libraries use
    USE_OPENLDAP=   yes
  and do not depend on a particular version. A user (or package
  building cluster) can select the desired flavor with
  WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL, but these must not
  be used in ports Makefiles.

  USE_LIBTOOL_VER now configures a port to use the ports version of libtool
  instead of its included version.  This was put in place to reduce the
  number of ad hoc patches to individual ports' libtools to prevent .la
  file installation as well as fix various threading problems.

  To restore the previous libtool behavior, use the new macro,
  USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.  It works the exact same way as USE_LIBTOOL_VER
  in that it takes a libtool version as its argument.

  For example, to use the included version of libtool with extra hacks
  provided by libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:

  USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=  15

  To use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
  your Makefile:

  USE_LIBTOOL_VER=  15

  Note: these macros are mutually exclusive.  Your port should only include
  one or the other if it needs to make use of libtool.

  The way GConf schema files are installed has changed to support the upcoming
  GNOME 2.8 GConf.  Details about the change can be found at
  http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/porting.html.  All existing ports have
  been converted to the new style, and portlint has been updated to flag
  old-style GConf schema installation.

  The following behavioral or feature changes were committed:

  * Support verbose index builds with INDEX_VERBOSE

  * Support glob expressions in USE_GETTEXT to allow more flexibility
    in the face of future gratuitous library version bumps by the gettext
    developers:

    USE_GETTEXT=yEs   # Works as before (case-insensitive)
    USE_GETTEXT=[5-7] # Accepts any of those libintl.so.x versions
                      # in the LIB_DEPENDS

  * Extend 'make search' support to allow much more flexible searching
    From the PR:

    Besides the good old key and name variables, this patch adds
    support for path, info, maint, cat, bdeps, and rdeps, which match
    on the appropriate fields, plus their exclusion counterparts: xkey,
    xname, etc.

    Examples:

    Find all ports whose names contain "pear-" but not "html" or "http":

      make search name=pear- xname='ht(tp|ml)'

    Find ports whose names contain "pear-" and which don't have apache
    listed in build-time dependencies:

      make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache

    The positive variables (name, key, maint, etc) are AND-ed, their
    negative versions are OR-ed; in other words, matching any x-
    variable will cause the port to be skipped, mismatch on any non-x-
    variable will cause it to be skipped.

    Examples:

    Find ports that are both in the 'www' category and maintained by
    Thierry Thomas:

      make search maint=thierry@ path=/www/

    Find ports in the 'archivers' category that are either not orphaned
    or don't have "zip" in their names (contrived):

      make search cat=archivers xmaint=ports@freebsd xname=zip

    It is possible to select fields to display.

    Example:

    Find PEAR ports that don't build-depend on apache, displaying only
    Port:, Path:, and Info: lines:

      make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache display=name,path,info

    Case-sensitivity can now be turned of with icase=1.

    Example:

    Find ports with @freebsd.org maintainer addresses without the
    "proper" capitalization (@FreeBSD.org), display their paths and
    maintainer addresses:

      make search maint=@freebsd\\.org icase=0 display=maint,path

    The key and xkey variables can be limited in scope to displayed fields
    by setting keylim to 1.

    Example:

    Find ports that contain "apache" in either of the name, path, info
    fields, ignore the rest of the record (dependencies, maintainer
    address, etc):

      make search key=apache display=name,path,info keylim=1

    The following variables can be set e.g. in /etc/make.conf to
    control default search behavior:

      PORTSEARCH_DISPLAY_FIELDS?=name,path,info,maint,index,bdeps,rdeps
      PORTSEARCH_KEYLIM?=0
      PORTSEARCH_XKEYLIM?=0
      PORTSEARCH_IGNORECASE?=1

  * Extend USE_PERL5_BUILD and USE_PERL5 to add EXTRACT and PATCH
    dependencies

  * While building index, treat non-existent dependencies as fatal.
    Previously the error was being hidden by the stderr
    redirection.

  * Don't always retry BROKEN ports when package building (it is taking
    too much time to continually rebuild ports that are usually going
    to really be broken).  Set TRYBROKEN if you want to attempt a
    build of a BROKEN port.

AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
    Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the next
    incarnation of ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk on the road to bringing
    at least some semblance of sanity back to this corner of the
    ports collection.

    By far and away the easiest way to see the changes will be to
    view the new file once committed, but here is a summary of the
    changes:

    1. USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, USE_AUTOHEADER, USE_AUTOMAKE have
    been fully deprecated.  Ports attempting to use these variables
    after the commit will error out, and most obviously break INDEX
    generation, with a helpful error message.  Instead, ports must
    now specifically choose the version of any of these tools that
    they need with the corresponding USE_*_VER variables.  Note that
    these variables understand any and all versions of autotools ports
    in the tree, there is no longer a need to have specific version
    numbers hardcoded in the infrastructure of bsd.autotools.mk
    (as there is now).  In particular, this will immediately open up
    automake18 and autoconf259 for general use and beating.

    2. Similarly for WANT_LIBTOOL, WANT_AUTOCONF, and WANT_AUTOMAKE.
    Again, these have been fully deprecated, and the equivalent
    WANT_*_VER versions should be used.

    In order to preserve existing behavior for these variables, please
    note the 20040314 entry in ports/CHANGES for the appropriate
    version numbers to use for any ports in the GNATS queue.

    Both WANT_* and USE_* bring in the relevant tool as a build
    dependency, and set up a reasonably large number of variables
    pointing to the right programs to be using in the port.  The
    only difference at the moment, is that USE_* will run an extra
    autotools-related configuration step, whereas WANT_* merely
    requests the environment.

    3. The helper knob USE_LIBLTDL has been added which currently
    simply adds a LIB dependency on the libltdl port.

    4. Three new variables have been introduced,
    WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN=yes.  These variables will
    do nothing by themselves (a Work-In-Progress), but if the
    appropriate autotool version is defined (either through
    WANT_*_VER or USE_*_VER), this will add the relevant dependency
    to RUN_DEPENDS.

    Steps 3 and 4 now essentially negate the need for any kind of
    direct dependency within a non-autotools port Makefile on
    devel/autoconf*, devel/automake*, devel/libtool*, and devel/libltdl.

AUTHOR: java@FreeBSD.org
    There has been a couple of bsd.java.mk tweaks and fixes.

    . Features from Stage 2 has been removed.  A port can no
      longer use the JDK dependency features by setting JAVA_HOME.
      Use JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT instead (see below).

    . The default JDK port now depends on OS version:
      java/diablo-jdk13 for 4.x, and java/jdk14 for 5.x

    . It is now possible for the user (and the porters) to
      define a list of preferred JDK ports to build and run ports.
      The port will use the first JDK port from the list that
      matches the requirements specified in the Makefile.
      JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT contains a list of suitable JDK ports
      (sorted by preference).  Names for JDKs may be found in
      bsd.java.mk, listed in ${_JAVA_PORTS_ALL} (e.g.
      "JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_1_4").

    . JAVA_PORT_VERSION is now set to the full version number
      of the chosen JDK (e.g. "1.4.2").  Porters will find hints
      regarding how to obtain the same behavior as before in the
      header of bsd.java.mk.

20040414:
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
    When writing a port that uses GTK+ 2.X, you can now list the dependency
    with "USE_GNOME=gtk20" which is preferable to LIB_DEPENDS because the
    GTK+ library version only needs to be changed in bsd.gnome.mk.

    Please see http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/porting.html for all
    the available GNOME components as well as detailed instructions on
    creating ports that use the GNOME infrastructure.

20040404:
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
    The glib20 and gtk20 ports were updated to 2.4.0.  This new version
    is completely source and binary compatible with the previous 2.2.x
    series.  However, certain API calls have been deprecated.  If your
    port defines the following macros, they may refuse to build with
    the new versions of glib20 and gtk20:

GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

    The temporary solution is to either patch your port's Makefiles to,
    or use an in-place regular expression to remove these macros.  The
    more permanent solution is to wait until the port's authors update
    their code to use current API calls.

20040402:
AUTHOR: java@FreeBSD.org
    There has been a big update to bsd.java.mk.  However, this update
    is mostly backwards compatible, so it shouldn't affect most java
    port maintainers.  There is some new functionality and minor
    changes worth documenting here though.

    bsd.java.mk now provides a new set of macros to be used by ports that
    require a JDK. When USE_JAVA is set, the following variables may be set
    in order to give to precision regarding the requirements of the port:

    . JAVA_VERSION
      A list of space-separated suitable java versions for the
      port. An optional "+" allows you to specify a range of versions.
      (allowed values: 1.1[+] 1.2[+] 1.3[+] 1.4[+])
      (NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
    . JAVA_OS
      A list of space-separated suitable JDK port operating systems
      for the port. (allowed values: native linux)
      (NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
    . JAVA_VENDOR
      A list of space-separated suitable JDK port vendors for
      the port. (allowed values: freebsd bsdjava sun ibm blackdown)
      (NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
    . JAVA_BUILD
      When set, it means that the selected JDK port should be
      added to build dependencies for the port.
    . JAVA_RUN
      This variable works exactly the same as JAVA_BUILD but
      regarding run dependencies.

    Here are some of the macros defined after setting USE_JAVA:

    . JAVA_PORT
      The name of the JDK port (e.g. java/jdk14)
    . JAVA_HOME
      The home of the JDK port in the local base
    . JAVA_PORT_VERSION
      The version of the JDK port.
      (NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VERSION, see above)
    . JAVA_PORT_OS
      The operating system used by the JDK port.
      (NOTE: Used to be JAVA_OS, see above)
    . JAVA_PORT_VENDOR
      The vendor of the JDK port.
      (NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VENDOR, see above)

    Plus many macros for the commonly used java executables:

        APPLETVIEWER, JAR, JAVA, JAVAC, JAVADOC, JAVAH,
        JAVAP, JAVA_KEYTOOL, JAVA_N2A, JAVA_POLICYTOOL,
        JAVA_SERIALVER, RMIC, RMID and RMIREGISTRY.

    bsd.java.mk 2.0 is mostly backward compatible with the previous
    version, save for the notes above and changed internal variables.
    Using the new features is strongly encouraged, since the old
    bsd.java.mk 1.0 features will be deprecated and may be removed in
    the future.

    You will find more detailed info (as well as a quick tutorial) at:

    The print/freetype2 port has been updated to 2.1.7.  This update
    changes some of the internal FreeType API.  Applications may need
    to be patched to support this new API.  If a source files includes
    freetype/freetype.h, make sure ft2build.h is included before
    freetype/freetype.h.  The proper way to do this is:

#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H

    However, the following will work as well, but is deprecated:

#include <ft2build.h>
#include <freetype/freetype.h>

    USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, and USE_AUTOMAKE are now considered
    deprecated, and will be removed on or around June 1st 2004.
    All ports should now choose the specific version of the tool,
    using USE_LIBTOOL_VER, USE_AUTOCONF_VER, and USE_AUTOMAKE_VER.
    The old "system default" behavior can be written as follows:

    Old         New
    USE_LIBTOOL=yes     USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
    USE_AUTOCONF=yes    USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
    USE_AUTOMAKE=yes    USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
    New variable MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE_EXTENDED. It has the
    ten official sourceforge.net download mirrors, whereas
    MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE only has five. To check if your
    port is mirrored there, go to
    <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/${MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR}/>
    click on ${DISTFILES} and you'll see five or ten mirrors,
    corresponding to the variables above.

    The default version of Ruby is now 1.8 on all platforms
    including the i386.

    Users on the i386 platform need to follow the instructions
    described in the UPDATING file to cope with this upgrade.

    Next time ruby is major upgraded, you won't need to do this
    kind of messy work because some subtle changes have been made
    to the ruby port infrastructure to make it easier to handle
    multiple versions of ruby.

AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
    Mozilla will now default to using GTK2, and will only compile
    against Gtk+-1.2 if explicitly requested.  This is in exact
    opposite to the old behavior.

    The valid values of WITH_MOZILLA are now:
        mozilla         (www/mozilla, GTK2)
        mozilla-devel       (www/mozilla-devel, GTK2)
        mozilla-gtk1        (www/mozilla-gtk1, GTK1)
        mozilla-devel-gtk1  (www/mozilla-devel-gtk1, GTK1)

    As before, WITH_MOZILLA can be set in /etc/make.conf, but doing
    so is not advised unless you desire the development versions.
    GTK2 browsers will automatically compile against GTK2 mozilla,
    and GTK1 browsers (galeon1, galeon1, and galeon1) will
    automatically compile against GTK1.

    Again, the only people who will need to take action are those
    who desire development versions (which are inactive at this time
    anyway).  Those who want GTK1 mozilla-devel must set
    WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk1 or they will be pleasantly
    surprised with their very own GTK2 installation on the next
    update.

    WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-gtk2 and WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk2
    are still honored for the time being, but their use is
    now deprecated.  Any new ports are not required to consider
    their values, and so eventually WITH_MOZILLA _will_ have to
    be changed.

    Hopefully galeon2 can catch up to peoples' expectations from
    galeon1 soon, and we can remove the GTK1 ports altogether.

AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
    The bsd.php.mk file has been moved out of the lang/php4 port
    into the Mk directory.  This will make it much easier to include
    PHP support in PHP-dependent ports.  Instead of including
    bsd.php.mk directly, a port can simply set USE_PHP=yes, and the
    ports system with Do the Right Thing.

    All trailing whitespace has been removed from bsd.port.mk.

    Enhance the new OPTIONS code by only including saved options if
    the port defines OPTIONS, attempt to use LATEST_LINK as the
    unique name for a port (fall back to ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}${PORTNAME}
    otherwise), bring the ===> messages in line with the existing
    ones by using PKGNAME instead of PORTNAME, use PKGNAME in the
    dialog, use ECHO_CMD instead of ECHO_MSG to write the
    OPTIONSFILE, display a message during compilation indicating
    that user-specified options have been found, and make the output
    of the showconfig target a little more user-friendly.

    A new USE_ICONV macro has been added that takes the place of an
    explicit LIB_DEPENDS on converters/libiconv.  This will help
    with future shared lib version bumps.

    A new USE_GETTEXT macro has been added that takes the place of
    an explicit LIB_DEPENDS on devel/gettext.  This will help with
    future shared lib version bumps.

    Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing
    Perl modules.  It will eventually replace the obsoleted
    ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  Many new Perl modules have already
    switched to using Build.PL instead of Makefile.PL.  To
    facilitate building those modules, a new PERL_MODBUILD macro has
    been added.  Use that in place of PERL_CONFIGURE when porting
    Perl modules that make use of the Module::Build framework.

    Certain ports want to check for the availability of SDL
    libraries before including them.  This change adds a new
    WANT_SDL macro similar to WANT_GNOME.  By setting this, the
    porter indicates that her port can optional use SDL if present
    on the system.  WANT_SDL should be defined _before_
    bsd.port.pre.mk is included.  After including bsd.port.pre.mk,
    the list of available SDL components will be returned in the
    HAVE_SDL macro.  For details on how to process this component
    list, refer to bsd.sdl.mk.

    The OpenBSD and NetBSD projects diverged from the FreeBSD ports
    tree years ago, and it no longer make sense to include obsolete
    references to incorrect paths in the FreeBSD ports system.  This
    change removes the NetBSD and OpenBSD PORTSDIR compatibility
    bits from bsd.port.mk.

    The comment for PKGDIR read, ``A direction containing any
    package creating file.''  The word ``direction'' should be
    ``directory.''  This has been fixed.

    A new DIRNAME macro has been added that points to
    /usr/bin/dirname.  All direct use of dirname in ports can be
    switched to this macro.

    Direct use of commands dirname, id, and rm have been corrected
    to use their macro equivalents instead.  Some useless ${HEAD}
    -n 1 statements have been removed.  A strange comment in the
    do-install target and an out of place ``fi'' have been fixed as
    well.

    On 5-CURRENT after the 5.2-RELEASE split, the default Perl
    version has been updated from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2.  As well, some
    Perl definitions in bsd.port.mk have been moved to their correct
    locations which corrects the PERL_LEVEL definition.

    The following optimizations have been added to the ports system
    to speed up recursive operations such as make describe, make
    index, make ignorelist, etc.  bsd.gnome.mk is now only included
    if a port defines USE_GNOME, WANT_GNOME, and/or USE_GTK.  More
    variables are cached and passed down through bsd.port.subdir.mk.
    Perl is no longer invoked when a simple ``echo'' will do.  More
    subshell variable assignments have been hidden behind
    conditionals so that the commands are not spawned every time.
    Finally, dependency lists are only constructed if ports actually
    declare dependencies.  These optimizations give make index
    approximately a 43% speedup.

    If CPUFLAGS is not defined (this _CPUCFLAGS is empty), trying
    to remove _CPUCFLAGS from CFLAGS will result in an error.  This
    change fixes that.

    On recent versions of 5.X, /etc/rc.subr exists, and there is no
    reason to install another copy in ${LOCALBASE}/etc.  The reason
    this was ever done was to workaround some build issues on bento.
    However, testing OSVERSION seems to work in spite of those build
    issues.

    The ports system now supports MySQL 3.23, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0.
    Also, the ability to scale to newer versions was also but in
    place.

    An .endif comment indicated that the .if block checked
    WANT_MYSQL when, in fact, it was checking WANT_MYSQL_VER.  This
    has been corrected.

    The PTHREAD{CFLAGS,LIBS} macros have been made overridable on
    all versions of FreeBSD to allow for alternate threading
    implementations (e.g. -lc_r, -lthr, -mt, etc.).  The default
    threading library has been changed to -lpthread from -lc_r on
    -CURRENT.

    The new SIZE support broke distfiles fetching on FreeBSD < 4.8.
    On those versions of FreeBSD, the SIZE distfile attribute is now
    ignored.  Also, defining DISABLE_SIZE in, for example,
    /etc/make.conf, will ignore the SIZE attribute on all versions
    of FreeBSD.  This is useful with alternate values for FETCH_CMD.

    A new vulnerabilities database has been added to the ports
    system in order to keep more accurate, up-to-date, track of
    security vulnerabilities.  The ports system now knows how to
    query that database and dynamically prevents the installation
    of vulnerable ports.

    In order to allow for more rapid development of the package
    tools, the ports system will prefer to use pkg_* tools found in
    ${LOCALBASE} over those in the base system.  However, all PKG_*
    macros are still overridable.

    A new physical category, net-mgmt, has been created to house
    network management ports.

    The /var/db/port.mkversion file never really took off, and is
    now very obsolete.  Replace the code used to generate and check
    this file with a simple OSVERSION check.  The ports system now
    requires FreeBSD 4.3 or higher.

    The last round of bsd.*.mk changes broke ports that had
    duplicate distinfo entries (e.g. linux_base).  This is now
    fixed.  Along with this fix, only distfiles with a bad checksum
    will be refetched, where as distfiles missing from distinfo will
    not be refetched.

    The PLIST_{DIRS,FILES} macros were passed to the final package
    list unchanged by PLIST_SUB.  This is not always desirable.
    Now, those macros are passed through PLIST_SUB.

    The previous OPTIONS code assumed users would be running port
    build as root.  If this was not the case, OPTIONS configuration
    would fail.  Now, the bits of the config and rmconfig targets
    that require write access to system directories are run under
    SU_CMD.

    The makesum target will now add a SIZE attribute for each
    distfile by default.  This can be overridden by defining NO_SIZE
    in a port's Makefile.  Note: this could probably be expanded to
    omit SIZE attributes for specific distfiles in the future.

20040129:
AUTHOR: trevor@FreeBSD.org
    SIZE lines in distinfo files:  if you set USE_SIZE when you do "make
    makesum", the byte sizes of the distfiles will be listed in the
    distinfo file. Then, if a distfile is replaced on its master site with
    one of a different size than that listed, "make fetch" will fail with a
    "size mismatch" error before downloading the file and the user will be
    asked to fetch the file by hand. Also, a user will know the size of
    the distfiles before fetching and decide to fetch later.
