Disable build dependence on gperf as the build doesn't actually run
it, and also for this workaround I need to patch the gperf output
file.

Icarus Verilog 0.9.7 is Available (August 26th, 2013)
-----------------------------
The developers are pleased to announce the next stable release in
the 0.9 series, version 0.9.7. Icarus Verilog is a mostly complete
implementation of the hardware description language Verilog, as
described in IEEE Std 1364-2005. It also includes a number of user
requested extensions. It is freely available (open source), is
supported on most operating systems, and will be available as a
precompiled package for many of these systems.
Icarus Verilog 0.9.7 is primarily a bug fix release. Therefore, we
recommend people using the 0.9.6 or earlier releases upgrade to 0.9.7
as soon as possible. Version 0.9.7 is the recommended version for all
new users.
More details, including known limitations, deviation from IEEE Std
1364-2005, where to obtain the source code, and links to some of the
precompiled packages can be found in the Release Notes located here:
<http://iverilog.wikia.com/wiki/Release_Notes_Icarus_Verilog_0_9_7>
(pkgsrc)
0.9.4 to 0.9.7 update and
two patches are added for DESTDIR and 'mkdir: dep: Not a directory' problem.

This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.7
none (but see below for other releases since the last version in pkgsrc)
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.6
This is a bug fix update of the 0.8 stable version of Icarus
Verilog. The v0.8 series tries to remain as stable as possible while
still fixing bugs that are safe to fix.
Preprocessor:
* Fix parse/preprocess of C-style comments in surpressed ifdef
blocks.
* Support leading underscore in preprocessor names.
Compilation/elaboration issues:
* Support min:typ:max expressions in more places.
* Fix handling of @* non-input nets.
* Do not support system functions in continuous assignments.
* Do not support converting vectors to real.
* Do not support constant real valued expressions.
Run-time ussues:
* Fix comparison of negative numbers that happen to be equal.
* Fix bad execution of certain expressions caused by code generator
bad lookaside handling.
* Proper error message for invalid bit selects.
* Implement $printtimescale system task.
Compiler build issues:
* Compile OK evel if libbzip2 is not installed, but do not support
LXT2 in that case.
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.5
This is mostly a bug-fix release for the 0.8 stable branch.
* Fix assertions from unary operators with certain operand widths.
* Fix incorrect comparison results when in certain cases comparing two
signed negative integers.
* Latch synthesis has been added to the core synthesizer
* Add nand gate support to the edif code generator
* Minor compile time errors/warnings
* Improved messages from the configure script
Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.4
This is a bug-fix release for the 0.8 stable branch. The 0.8 stable
branch updates do not include significant new features (they go into
the devel branch instead) nor fixes that are deemed to drastic to
include in a stable tool.
- Various source code portability problems have been fixed. The 0.8 no
longer compiles on many modern systems.
- Various bug reports have been put to rest with this release. Some
parser errors have been fixed (including a few regressions from
0.8.3) and a few new syntaxes added.
- A variety of systhesis bug fixes and enhancements are included in
0.8.4. Currently, synthesis is only actively supported in the 0.8
branch, and the 0.8.4 is the most complete.

** Release Notes for Icarus Verilog 0.8.3
This is a new release of the stable 0.8 branch. The changes from 0.8.2
are intended to be evolutionary, rather then revolutionary, to enhance
the stability of the branch.
Various simulator bugs have been fixed, including (but not limited to):
- Detect overrun of timescale vs. precision
- Handle more operators in constant expressions
- Various ivl crashes and panics fixed.
- Some performance bottlenecks have been fixed.
- Various tool compilation problems have been fixed.
Also, the internal synthesizer (for synthesis targets) has been
considerably improved. NOTE that the code generators have not been
improved to take advantage of all the changes here, so there is work
yet to be done.
The mingw build process for compiling in Windows has been reworked. It
is now possible (indeed preferable) to compile fully native Icarus
Verilog binaries on Windows with no Cygwin tools at all.

and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto

of the order in which buildlink3.mk files are (recursively) included
by a package Makefile.

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

The current release is a considerable improvement over the previous stable
release. It includes 20 months of fixes and language coverage improvements.
For a complete history of changes, see the release notes for individual
snapshots between the 0.7 and 0.8 releases found at
ftp://ftp.icarus.com/pub/eda/verilog/snapshots/pre-0.8
A brief list of highlights:
- Support for advanced standard data types such as real,
- Lots more language support in general,
- Kernel of an extensible, interactive debugger is new,
- More complete support for user supplied system functions and tasks,
including PLI system functions with various return value types,
- Better standards compliance for core system tasks and functions in
general, including some Verilog 2001 file I/O support, and
- Performance improvements in general.

This release represents many bug fixes, expanded language coverage,
greatly enhanced xilinx fpga synthesis and several performance enhancements.
The complete list is rather long.

WHAT'S NEW SINCE 0.5?
Quite a lot. Innumerable bugs have been fixed, and standards coverage
has been improved significantly. Warning and error messages have been
improved, and so has compile performance. Gate delays, strength
modeling, and floating point delays have all improved since the 0.5
release. If you had trouble with the 0.5 release, the 0.6 release
probably fixes your problem.
Support for large designs spanning multiple files has been improved
dramatically. The usual preprocessor inclusion method still works, but
The 0.6 release adds command files for keeping source file lists, and
automatic library searches for missing modules. The library mechinisms
are compatible with commercial tools, and commercial module libraries
can be used with Icarus Verilog.
Many compiler limitations related to the size and complexity of large
designs have been relaxed or eliminated. There are no known design
size limitations remaining in the compiler. Icarus Verilog should be
able to handle any design that you have the patience to compile.

foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.

* The Big Change: VVP
Past versions of Icarus Verilog performed simulation by compiling the
Verilog design to intermediate C++ code, then in turn compiling that
C++ (usually with G++) to a binary executable. This program was then
executed to actually run the simulation.
The 0.5 compiler, however, uses a custom internal language called
"vvp." The vvp code generator writes a program in the vvp language
that the vvp interpreter executes. This gets runtime performance
similar to the older vvm method, but compile times are much faster.
The result of this change is that there is a new program, ``vvp'',
that is installed with the existing ``iverilog'' compiler. This
program actually executes the simulation generated by the vvp code
generator.
There are manual pages for the iverilog command and the new vvp
command, as well as a QUICK_START document to help you run your first
simulation.
* What Else Is New
The compiler itself is now a lot more robust. While it still does not
compile and understand the entire IEEE1364 standard, the compiler is
less likely to crash on bad input, gives better error messages, and
has generally been cleaned up.
