Updating Information for FreeBSD ports developers This file is maintained by Erwin Lansing <erwin@FreeBSD.org> and copyrighted by the FreeBSD Foundation. This file contains major changes to ports and the ports infrastructure. Intended audience are ports committers, maintainers and other developers. User oriented changes should be submitted for inclusion in the release notes. All ports committers are allowed to commit to this file. 20040416: 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: 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: 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: 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: http://www.esil.univ-mrs.fr/~hquiroz/freebsd/bsd.java.mk-2.0.html 20040316: 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> 20040314: 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 20040304: 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. 20040226: 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. 20040217: 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 behaviour. 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 honoured 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. 20040204: 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 everytime. 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: 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. 20040129: Start of CHANGES file. FORMAT: This file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major breakages or added features in tracking ports. Not all things will be listed here, and it only starts on January 29, 2004.
