Updating Information for FreeBSD ports developers
This file is maintained by [email protected] 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 and/or placed into UPDATING.
All ports committers are allowed to commit to this file.
20170218:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Qt 4's binaries have been moved to lib/qt4/bin to match what is already done
to Qt 5's binaries. Since these binaries are no longer in ${LOCALBASE}/bin,
they also do not have the -qt4 suffix in their names any more.
* Consequently, there are no Qt 4 or Qt 5 binaries in the default $PATH, and
misc/qtchooser is now used to select the actual Qt binaries. In other
words, calling "qmake" or "moc" now goes through qtchooser, which prefers
Qt 5 binaries by default.
The ports framework handles this automatically. The UPDATING entry covers
this in more detail.
* Qt 5.7.1 requires a C++11-capable compiler to be used. qmake and CMake pass
the appropriate flags to the compiler (such as -std=c++11) automatically,
but if your port fetches Qt's build flags via pkg-config (which can be the
case for autotools-based ports), you might need to take care of this
manually by setting USE_CXXSTD in your Makefile:
USE_CXXSTD= c++11
20160116:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new EXTRA_PATCH_TREE has been added. Points to a directory hierarchy with
the same layout as the ports tree, where local patches can be found. This
allows a third party to keep their patches in some other source control
system if needed.
For example, if you have EXTRA_PATCH_TREE=/patches, when building
lang/perl5.24, any file named patch-* in /patches/lang/perl5.24/ will be used
to patch the Perl distribution.
20160116:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
During extraction of the do-patch target into a separate script, the "-d
PATCH_WRKSRC" had to be removed from the PATCH_ARGS and PATCH_DIST_ARGS
variables. If using these variables directly, you will need to adapt the
Makefile. For example:
${PATCH} ${PATCH_ARGS} < ${FILESDIR}/extra-patch
needs to be changed to:
${PATCH} -d ${PATCH_WRKSRC} ${PATCH_ARGS} < ${FILESDIR}/extra-patch
20161218:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
QT_PREFIX has been dropped, in favour of using PREFIX directly.
20160911:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Support has been added for complete set of Creative Commons licenses
CC-(BY|BY-ND|BY-NC|BY-NC-ND|BY-NC-SA|BY-SA)-(1.0|2.0|2.5|3.0|4.0)
20160909:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Verbose build logs are now preferred and enabled by default for cmake,
ninja and GNU configure. Ports which still produce quiet build logs
(hiding actual commands) are strongly advised to switch to verbose logs.
20160908:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Support has been added for NONE license, use it when the port doesn't
have cleanly defined licensing terms. Note that without clean license
allowing you to use and distribute the code it would be be illegal to do
so in many jurisdictions, so for ports with NONE license no distfiles or
packages are distributed.
20160824:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
To complete the USE_GITHUB framework, a GH_SUBDIR variable has been added.
It automatically moves a secondary distfile to the right place inside WRKSRC.
It also extends the GH_TUPLE variable to make it as easy to use as possible.
Before:
GH_TUPLE= Regaddi:Chart.js:f13f99b:chart_js \
FVANCOP:ChartNew.js:77e7f87:chartnew_js
post-extract:
@${RMDIR} ${WRKSRC}/database ${WRKSRC}/3rd/Chart.js
@${MV} ${WRKSRC_database} ${WRKSRC}/database
@${MV} ${WRKSRC_chart_js} ${WRKSRC}/3rd/Chart.js
After:
GH_TUPLE= Regaddi:Chart.js:f13f99b:chart_js/3rd/Chart.js \
FVANCOP:ChartNew.js:77e7f87:chartnew_js/3rd/ChartNew.js
It also works if not using GH_TUPLE but the regular
GH_ACCOUNT/PROJECT/TAGNAME variables:
GH_SUBDIR= 3rd/Chart.js:chart_js 3rd/ChartNew.js:chartnew_js
20160824:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES file has been introduced: USES=kde:4, which replaces the old
bsd.kde4.mk file in preparation for upcoming KDE Frameworks and Plasma5
ports.
Ports depending on KDE4 have to switch from
USE_KDE4=foo bar
to
USES=kde:4
USE_KDE=foo bar
and make sure to switch from using KDE4_PREFIX to the new name KDE_PREFIX
in the Makefiles as well as plists.
20160821:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES file has been introduced: USES=grantlee:[4,5], which introduces a
LIB_DEPENDS on either devel/grantlee (Qt4) or devel/grantlee5 (Qt5).
Uses/grantlee.mk also exports the GRANTLEE_VERSION variable to users, and the
GRANTLEE_VERSION_FULL and GRANTLEE_VERSION_SHORT pkg-plist substitutions.
20160817:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
This adds the possibility to use regular expressions for the makeplist stage
of the PLIST_SUB life.
From time to time, the values are too generic, and they get in the way of
other stuff.
This adds the possibility to have a VAR_regex=regex that will be used
instead of the VAR=string to search for possible replacements.
For example, in lang/perl5*, there is PERL_ARCH=mach, which will get replaced
in paths if a file is called, say "machine", will end up being
"%%PERL_ARCH%%ine". Adding PERL_ARCH_regex="\bmach\b" will ensure only full
words are replaced, so machine will stay machine, but "lib/mach/foo "will
still be replaced by "lib/%%PERL_ARCH%%/foo".
20160803:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Every PHP (or Zend) extension now installs its own .ini file in
/usr/local/etc/php. A PHP extension will be automatically activated when
installed. The order into which extensions are loaded is automatically
guessed. In some very rare cases, the guess will be wrong, and PHP_MOD_PRIO
will need to be set. Refer to the USES=php section of the Porter's Handbook
for more information.
20160628:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
USEify USES=php.
The following variables have been folded into arguments:
- USE_PHPIZE -> USES=php:phpize
- USE_PHPEXT -> USES=php:ext
- USE_ZENDEXT -> USES=php:zend
- USE_PHP_BUILD -> USES=php:build
- WANT_PHP_CLI -> USES=php:cli
- WANT_PHP_CGI -> USES=php:cgi
- WANT_PHP_MOD -> USES=php:mod
- WANT_PHP_WEB -> USES=php:web
- WANT_PHP_EMB -> USES=php:embed
20160627:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
USE_OPENSSL has been replaced by USES=ssl.
20160625:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new ${opt}_CMAKE_BOOL OPTIONS helper has been added. Instead of:
FOO_CMAKE_ON= -DWITH_FOO:BOOL=YES -DWITH_BAR:BOOL=YES
FOO_CMAKE_OFF= -DWITH_FOO:BOOL=NO -DWITH_BAR:BOOL=NO
you can use this shortcut:
SOMEOPT_CMAKE_BOOL= WITH_FOO WITH_BAR
20160525:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new stage-qa test has been added, it reports all shared libraries

"make makesum" now writes the current timestamp to distinfo when it is run.
This is done to support development and prototyping efforts for reproducible

The TIMESTAMP can currently be ignored for ports that have no distinfo, and
for updates done without using "make makesum."

Change the meaning of NO_WRKSUBDIR to force a WRKDIR != WRKSRC.
Right now, NO_WRKSUBDIR means that the extraction does not produce a
subdirectory, and that everything goes straight into WRKDIR. It is
problematic, because during the build of a port, quite a few files
are created in there, and then, a stage directory, where everything
is installed, and then a pkg directory where the package is created,
and those often conflict, or get in the way, of the building
process.
With this, NO_WRKSUBDIR will extract the distfiles directly into
WRKSRC instead of WRKDIR. In this case, WRKSRC is artificial and is
based on PKGNAME and not DISTNAME, mitigate conflicts with rc files.

Implemented complete support for test target.
You can now `make test' on any port to run test sequence, no-op by default.
If a port defines TEST_TARGET, it'll run sub-make with specified target,
usually `check' or `test', useful if upstream supports that. The port may
instead define custom do-test target, as well as usual satellite targets:
{pre,do,post}-test, {pre,do,post}-test-OPT, {pre,do,post}-test-OPT-off
`make test' builds and stages port first, so test may use both WRKDIR and
STAGEDIR, and both BUILD and RUN depends are available for test target.
Additionally, TEST_DEPENDS is now properly supported and may be used to
define additional depends specifically for testing.
Framework may define default tests for specific cases. For instance,
perl5.mk and cran.mk provide default test target on their own.

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
