add --with-libintl-prefix=XXX to configure args
(this could perhaps go into gettext-lib/buildlink2.mk, but there
could be "configure" incarnations not built from the "official" aclocal
file which don't digest it)

arguments.

this package needs a newer makeinfo to compile, so let it demand 4.2.
|

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.

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.

fixes a bug in location of sources specified with relative paths
(via .depend).
This version also has some bootstrapping improvments.

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.

Linux systems that include gettext() routines in glibc. We now properly
substitute for libintl.la references in libtool archives, and we don't
produce the fake libintl.la since it has no meaning if there is not a real
libintl.
|
|
empty on some systems that provide gettext() functions directly in libc.
Fix by Jeremy Reed <reed@reedmedia.net> in PR 19171.
|

Fix bug that made tests organized in deep directory structures (e.g. the
gcc testsuite) be run multiple times.

update. 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.

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.

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.

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

targets. Especially helps for the recipe that ":mkdownload" generates.
When evaluating a Python expression, replace ">" with "$gt", "<"
with "$lt" and "|" with $bar, so that ":print" isn't confused.
* Fixed: did not find Python modules in the directory of the top recipe.

=== 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.
