this package needs a newer makeinfo to compile, so let it demand 4.2.
2002-11-27bite the bullet and upgrade to 0.11.5drochner21-393/+289
There are too many changes to list in a sensible way. The most visible change for me is that libintl requires libiconv now. Also untangled the 3 sub-pkgs -- a common patch dir makes it too complex. This pkg used to expose buildlink2 problems - the pkg libintl was pulled in in cases where USE_GNU_GETTEXT was not set. There were some improvements to libtool filtering, and x11/gtk builds now, so I hope this is settled.

2002-11-27Initial import of splint 3.0.1.6.mjl4-0/+91
Splint is a tool for statically checking C programs for security vulnerabilities and coding mistakes. With minimal effort, Splint can be used as a better lint. If additional effort is invested adding annotations to programs, Splint can perform stronger checking than can be done by any standard lint. Splint 3.0 is the successor to LCLint 2.5.

Changes from alpha16: Alpha 18. This release tracks file modification times, and restores them on initial checkout. The need for restoration was driven by the need to support the EROS cross environment build process, which was tripping over autoconf because modification times were not being preserved. Alpha 17. This is a catch-up release to get various repaired bugs into distribution. Also the first release to build on RedHat 8.0. Approved by wiz. This closes PR 18971.

Excerpt of changes: Changes with APR 0.9.2 *) Renames done (deprecated functions wrapped): apr_filename_of_pathname -> apr_filepath_name_get apr_get_groupid -> apr_gid_get apr_get_groupname -> apr_gid_name_get apr_compare_groups -> apr_gid_compare apr_parse_addr_port -> apr_port_addr_parse apr_shutdown -> apr_socket_shutdown apr_bind -> apr_socket_bind apr_listen -> apr_socket_listen apr_accept -> apr_socket_accept apr_connect -> apr_socket_connect apr_send -> apr_socket_send apr_sendv -> apr_socket_sendv apr_sendto -> apr_socket_sendto apr_implode_gmt -> apr_time_exp_gmt_get apr_get_home_directory -> apr_uid_homepath_get apr_get_userid -> apr_uid_get apr_current_userid -> apr_uid_current apr_compare_users -> apr_uid_compare apr_get_username -> apr_uid_name_get apr_recvfrom -> apr_socket_recvfrom apr_sendfile -> apr_socket_sendfile apr_recv -> apr_socket_recv [Thom May] *) Add APR_IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. [Jeff Trawick] *) Update timeout algorithm in free_proc_chain. If a subprocess did not exit immediately, the thread would sleep for 3 seconds before checking the subprocess exit status again. In a very common case when the subprocess was an HTTP server CGI script, the CGI script actually exited a fraction of a second into the 3 second sleep, which effectively limited the server to serving one CGI request every 3 seconds across a persistent connection. [Bill Stoddard, Kai.Risku@arrak.fi] *) Add recognition of and socket API support for the SCTP protocol. [Randall Stewart <randall@stewart.chicago.il.us>] *) Add apr_atomic_casptr() to support atomic compare-and-swap of pointers [Brian Pane] *) Add apr_socket_create_ex() to allow protocol to be specified for the socket. With APR 1.0, this function will be removed and apr_socket_create() will have the additional parameter. [Randall Stewart] *) Add APR_IPV4_ADDR_OK flag to apr_sockaddr_info_get() to allow apps to avoid lookup of IPv6 address if IPv4 address is sufficient. (New APR_IPV6_ADDR_OK flag is similar.) [Jeff Trawick] Changes with APR 0.9.1 *) Add apr_array_pop(). [Justin Erenkrantz] Changes with APR 0.9.0 *) Includes moved to INCLUDEDIR/apr-{major} (e.g. /usr/include/apr-0) [Greg Stein] *) libtool versioning is used to give the library sonames a real value. The libraries will be libapr-{major}.so.0.{minor}.{patch} [Greg Stein] *) Add APR_PARSE_ARGUMENTS and APR_LAYOUT macros for better layout support. [Thom May] *) Add parallel-apr layout which utilizes the major version number in directories and library names. [Justin Erenkrantz] *) Add a version number to the library name (e.g. libapr-1.so) so that apps can do things like: -lapr-1 or -lapr-2, depending on which version they want to use and link against. [Greg Stein] *) Add --version to apr-config so that apps can retrieve the version information of the (installed) APR. [Greg Stein] *) Remove the APRVARS system; apps should use apr-config. [Greg Stein] *) Renamed apr_strtoll()/apr_atoll() to follow int64 convention, so these new helpers are apr_strtoi64/apr_atoi64(), since 'll' (long long) is a nonportable and aspecific construct. Used ac/m4 tests to choose the appropriate fn behind strtoi64. [William Rowe] As well as many portabitility and other fixes.
2002-11-25Add basic COMMENT.wiz1-2/+2
2002-11-24Update cvs to 1.11.2. Changes:hubertf27-329/+168
Changes since 1.11.1p1: * The "log" and "rlog" commands now have a -S option to suppress the header information when no revisions are selected. * A serious error that allowed read-only users to tag files has been corrected. * The "annotate" command will no longer annotate binary files unless you specify the new -F option. * The "tag" and "rtag" commands will no longer move or delete branch tags unless you use the new -B option. (This prevents accidental changes to branch tags that are hard to undo.) * We've standardized on the 1.5 Automake release for the moment. Again, this should only really affect developers. See the section of the INSTALL file about using the autotools if you are compiling CVS yourself. Changes from 1.11.1 to 1.11.1p1: * Read only access was broken - now fixed. Changes from 1.11 to 1.11.1: * The "cvs diff" command now accepts the -y/--side=by-side and -T/ --initial-tab options. (To use these options with a remote repository, both the client and the server must support them.) * The expansion of the loginfo format string has changed slightly. Previously, the expansion was surrounded by single quotes ('); if a file name contained a single quote character, the string would not be parsed as a single entity by the Unix shell (and it would not be possible to parse it unambiguously). Now the expansion is surrounded by double quotes (") and any embedded dollar signs ($), backticks (`), backslashes (\), and double quotes are preceded by a backslash. This is parsed as a single entity by the shell reguardless of content. This change should not be noticable unless you're not using a Unix shell or you have embedded the format string inside a double quoted string. * There was a bug in the diff code which sometimes caused conflicts to be flagged which shouldn't have been. This has been fixed. * New "cvs rlog" and "cvs rannotate" commands have been added to get log messages and annotations without having to have a checked-out copy. * Exclusive revision ranges have been added to "cvs log" using :: (similar to "cvs admin -o"). * The VMS client now accepts wildcards if you're running VMS 7.x. * ZLIB has been updated to version 1.1.3, the most current version. This includes mostly some optimizations and minor bug fixes. * The ~/.cvspass file has a slightly modified format. CVSROOTs are now stored in a new canonical form - hostnames are now case insensitive and port numbers are always stored in the new format. Until a new login for a particular CVSROOT is performed with the new version of CVS, new and old versions of CVS should interoperate invisibly. After that point, an extra login using the old version of CVS may be necessary to continue to allow the new and old versions of CVS to interoperate using the same ~/.cvspass file and CVSROOT. The exception to this rule occurs when the CVSROOTs used with the different versions use case insensitively different hostnames, for example, "empress", and "empress.2-wit.com". * A password and a port number may now be specified in CVSROOT for pserver connections. The new format is: :pserver:[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path Note that passwords specified in a checkout command will be saved in the clear in the CVS/Root file in each created directory, so this is not recommended, except perhaps when accessing anonymous repositories or the like. * The distribution has been converted to use Automake. This shouldn't affect most users except to ease some portability concerns, but if you are building from the repository and encounter problems with the makefiles, you might try running ./noautomake.sh after a fresh update -AC.

2002-11-24Initial import of py-kqueue version 2.0 into the Packages Collection.jdolecek4-0/+39
py-kqueue is Python glue for kqueue(2)/kevent(2) event interface on BSD systems. kqueue() provides a generic method of notifying the user when an event happens or a condition holds, based on the results of small pieces of kernel code termed filters. A kevent is identified by the (ident, filter) pair; there may only be one unique kevent per kqueue.

Version 4.1 - July 12, 2001, by Shigio Yamaguchi [INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES] * global: rename the -i(incremental) option to -u(update) and the new -i(--ignore-case) option added because -i options is generally used for this purpose (see grep(1)). * gtags.conf: rename global.conf into gtags.conf because the old name was too generic.

2002-11-23Upgrade of devel/aap to version 0.107.cjep4-12/+15
Changes since version 0.104: 0.107 * Fixed: Tests did not work on MS-Windows. * Fixed: Executing shell commands did not work on MS-Windows. * Fixed: Reading a dependency file did not work on MS-Windows. 0.106 * Fixed: When uploading with scp fails because of a read-only file system this was not noted as an error. * Fixed: When uploading multiple files with scp and one or more failed, the signatures were updated anyway. 0.105 * Improved performance by not computing the buildcheck signature for virtual targets. Especially helps for the recipe that ":mkdownload" generates. When evaluating a Python expression, replace "&gt;" with "$gt", "&lt;" with "$lt" and "|" with $bar, so that ":print" isn't confused. * Fixed: did not find Python modules in the directory of the top recipe.

2002-11-22The release notes have been updated.schmonz1-3/+3
2002-11-22Update to 2.3.3. From the changelog:schmonz2-5/+5
=== Release 2.3.3, October 28, 2002 Changes to start coping with MKS Source Integrity conversions. This change allows genmetadata to simply ignore (and hence, to continue working!) the "ext" and "format" keywords that MKS Source Integrity apparently adds to the rcs repertiore. This could possibly be recoded to deal with arbitrary new keywords, but I don't want to go there now. Note that there *may* be other gotchas when attempting to use cvs2p4 to convert MKS SI repositories, which may be addressed by future changes to cvs2p4: 1. It appears that MKS may compress (gzip) binary ,v files, but *not* rename them to refelct this. Very odd. 2. It appears that MKS may allow a larger character set (than pure RCS) in legal symbolic names. I can probably fix cvs2p4 to deal with these pretty easily, but we should also consider whether any of the MKS names might be illegal in Perforce (and thus needs some sort of translation). Intrepid users setting out to use this tool to convert MKS into Perforce are encouraged to send problem reports to "opensource@perforce.com".

One packaging problem fixed (config/install-sh was not executable). * Major changes in Autoconf 2.55 Released November 14th, 2002. Release tips: Have your configure.ac checked by autoscan ("autoscan"). Try the warning options ("autoreconf -fv -Wall"). ** Documentation - AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS More information on proper use. - Writing Test Programs This sections explains how to write good test sources to use with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE etc. It documents AC_LANG_PROGRAMS and so forth. - AC_FOO_IFELSE vs. AC_TRY_FOO Explains why Autoconf moves from AC_TRY_COMPILE etc. to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM etc. ** autoreconf - Is more robust to different Gettext installations. - Produces messages (when --verbose) to be understood by Emacs' compile mode. - Supports -W/--warnings. - -m/--make Once the GNU Build System reinstalled, run `./config.status --recheck && ./config.status && make' if possible. ** autom4te - Supports --cache, and --no-cache. - ~/.autom4te.cfg makes it possible to disable the caching mechanism (autom4te.cache). See `Customizing autom4te' in the documentation. ** config.status Supports --quiet. ** Obsolete options Support for the obsoleted options -m, --macrodir, -l, --localdir is dropped in favor of the safer --include/--prepend-include scheme. ** Macros - New macros AC_COMPILER_IFELSE, AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC, AC_HEADER_STDBOOL, AC_LANG_CONFTEST, AC_LANG_SOURCE, AC_LANG_PROGRAM, AC_LANG_CALL, AC_LANG_FUNC_TRY_LINK, AC_MSG_FAILURE, AC_PREPROC_IFELSE. - Obsoleted Obsoleted macros are kept for Autoconf backward compatibility, but should be avoided in configure.ac. Running autoupdate is advised. AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST. - AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED We have to stop using the old compatibility scheme --that tried to avoid useless backslashes-- because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int], [Define to a type to use for \`error_t' if it is not otherwise available.]) We have to quote the single quotes and backslashes with \. The old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore did not quote the single quote... Failure. Hence, Autoconf 2.54 is not compatible with Libtool. Autoconf 2.55 is, but in some cases might produce more \ than wanted. Please, note that in the future the same problem will happen with AC_MSG_*: use `autoreconf -f -Wall'. ** Bug Fixes - Portability of the Autoconf package to Solaris. - Spurious warnings caused by config.status. This bug is benign, but painful: on some systems (typically FreeBSD), warnings such as: config.status: creating Makefile mv: Makefile: set owner/group (was: 1357/0): Operation not permitted could be issued. This is fixed. - Parallel Builds Simultaneous executions of config.status are possible again. - Precious variables accumulation config.status could stack several copies of the precious variables assignments. ** Plans for 2.57 - ./configure <host> The compatibility hooks with the old scheme will be completely removed. Please, advice/use `--build', `--host', and `--target' only. - AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_HEADERS The tests will be stricter, please make sure your invocations are valid. - shell functions Shell functions will gradually be introduced, probably starting with Autotest. If you know machines which are in use that you suspect *not* to support shell functions, please run the test suite of Autoconf 2.55 on it, and report the results to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. - AC_MSG_* Special characters in AC_MSG_* need not be quoted. Currently, Autoconf has heuristics to decide when a string is escaped, or has to be escaped. This scheme is fragile, and will be removed; the only risk is uglified messages. Please, run `autoreconf -f -Wall' to find occurrences that will be affected.
