Updating Information for FreeBSD ports developers
This file is maintained by Erwin Lansing <[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.
All ports committers are allowed to commit to this file.
20080905:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* print/ghostscript-* and related ports have been renamed in the
following way:
print/ghostscript-gnu -> print/ghostscript7
print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11 -> print/ghostscript7-nox11
print/ghostscript-gnu-commfont -> print/ghostscript7-commfont
print/ghostscript-gpl -> print/ghostscript8
print/ghostscript-gpl-nox11 -> print/ghostscript8-nox11
japanese/ghostscript-gnu-jpnfont -> print/ghostscript7-jpnfont
korean/ghostscript-gnu-korfont -> print/ghostscript7-korfont
* USE_GHOSTSCRIPT now supports a version number which the port
requires. The valid value is "7" or "8". If other value is
specified, value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is used.
* WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU has been removed in favor of
WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER. The valid value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is
"7" or "8", and the default value is "8".
20080821:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* CONFIGURE_ARGS is updated to use correct syntax for newer autoconf
on the configure target. Individual ports no longer need to change
CONFIGURE_TARGET to have the '--build=' prefix.
20080721:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Default OpenLDAP version was changed from 2.3 to 2.4.
* USE_GTK and USE_XPM variables are no longer recognized.
20080523:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* By default, ports-mgmt/pkg_install now sets up a wrapper to use ports
pkg_install (when installed) instead of base when the former is more
recent. This can be disabled in the options menu, or with the
WITHOUT_WRAPPER knob.
20080414:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* @rmtry is now supported in pkg-plist.
* USE_DISPLAY made more powerful, see comments in bsd.port.mk for details.
* ${PW} is now defined.
* LIB_DEPENDS can now be used with libraries with + sign in their name
without the need for escaping.
20080312:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* USE_XPM no longer implies USE_XLIB.
* USE_LDCONFIG can now be used to Linux binary ports that install shared
libraries instead of INSTALLS_SHLIB.
20070908:
AUTHOR: [email protected], [email protected]
* The Perl-related code parts have been extracted from bsd.port.mk to
bsd.perl.mk. This includes the user-settable knobs (e.g. USE_PERL5)
and infrastructure parts of the code, like default targets. The new
code is designed to be conditionally included based on either
USE_PERL5_*, PERL_CONFIGURE, or PERL_MODBUILD being set. However,
some of the default settings remain in bsd.port.mk while we make
sure that all ports comply with this.
* A convenient version handling has been implemented for Perl-related
knobs. With this new feature one can require a minimal, a maximal or an
exact version, that the given port needs. For the full description and
some examples, please see the documentation in bsd.perl.mk.
20070804:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:
* The variable definitions that cover command line tools, e.g. MKDIR, were
extracted from bsd.port.mk into bsd.commands.mk, so that we can
reuse them within the infrastructure later.
* The old DESTDIR implementation was removed both from the infrastructure,
and from the individual ports. Variables like TARGETDIR should not longer
be used.
* A new DESTDIR implementation has been added, implemented in bsd.destdir.mk.
The new implementation puts no requirements on the individual ports.
20070730:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* The default Python version has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x.
* A number of variables have been added to bsd.python.mk to support
the more integrated support for Python eggs, including:
PYDISTUTILS_PKGNAME, PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION, PYEASYINSTALL_EGG,
PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO, PYDISTUTILS_EGGINFO, PYEASYINSTALL_ARCHDEP
* More detailed descriptions of the variables can be found in the comments
in bsd.python.mk.
20070723:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* The default CONFIGURE_ARGS when GNU_CONFIGURE is set now contains
--mandir and --infodir if configure script supports them.
20070712:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Add knob USE_FORTRAN for ports which uses FORTRAN. All ports uses
FORTRAN compiler should use this knob. Usages are: USE_FORTRAN=yes
(default;gfortran42), USE_FORTRAN=ifc (Intel FORTRAN compiler)
and USE_FORTRAN=g77 (/usr/bin/f77 or g77-34).
20070701:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following change was made to the ports infrastructure:
* Virtual category 'kld' was added. If the port installs kernel loadable
modules, it should be included in this category.
20070524:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* The 'make-deinstall-all' target now checks for moved ports.
* The installation directories PORTEXAMPLES and PORTDATA are now defined.
* The USE_MAKESELF knob is added for ports that use the makeself archiver.
* The description of fetch-list was updated. The targets fetch-required-list,
fetch-url-list, and fetch-urlall-list were added.
* 'make search' will also now search in ports/MOVED.
* The default method for 'make update' is now portsnap. Previously,
you had to manually select one of 3 methods: SUP_UPDATE, CVS_UPDATE,
or PORTSNAP_UPDATE. The latter is now obsolete.
* Several Makevar definitions have been moved to the pre-makefile section:
DATADIR, DOCSDIR, ETCDIR, EXAMPLESDIR, WWWDIR.
20070403:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* The default dependency of USE_GHOSTSCRIPT has been changed from
ghostscript-gnu to ghostscript-gpl. The WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL variable is
now no-op. New WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU variable was added.
* bsd.tcl.mk was overhauled. Most importantly, the semantics of USE_TCL* and
USE_TK* variables was changed. USE_TCL and USE_TK now implies both build
and run dependencies, USE_TCL_RUN and USE_TK_BUILD variables were
introduced. Existing ports in the tree were modified.
* Unused category 'tcl81' was removed, and new categories 'tcl' and 'tk'
were added.
20070324:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* Default LIBTOOLFILES value was changed from literal `configure'
to ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT}.
* bsd.efl.mk was moved to ports/Mk. USE_EFL family of macros is now
generally available to all ports.
* New macros COPYTREE_BIN and COPYTREE_SHARE were added, to allow
for easy installation of a tree hierarchy, either with executable (bin)
or read-only (share) permissions on files.
* A new variable WWWDIR was added, with default value of
${PREFIX}/www/${PORTNAME}.
* Variables DOCSDIR_REL, DATADIR_REL, EXAMPLESDIR_REL and WWWDIR_REL were
added for porter's convenience. They contain the values of their
respective non-REL variables, except relative to installation PREFIX.
20070313:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* bsd.ocaml.mk and bsd.xfce.mk were added.

The following changes were made to the ports infrastructure:
* DEPENDS variable was removed, please use other *_DEPENDS variables instead.
* A new pkg-plist keyword is available, @stopdaemon. It will call forcestop
on all rc.subr scripts installed by the port on deinstall, effectively
stopping services on deinstall/upgrade.
* rc.subr script suffix is now available in Makefile as RC_SUBR_SUFFIX.
* New variable USE_CDRTOOLS was introduced. It replaced direct dependencies
on sysutils/cdrtools port. It now automatically support switching to
cdrtools-cjk port when user specified WITH_CJK. All ports were converted.
* USE_DOS2UNIX, infrastructure for converting DOS to UNIX line feeds, was
enhanced by a new variable DOS2UNIX_REGEX. It allows to specify a find
-iregex parameter to limit touched files by file extensions.
* Support for partially translated manpages was added. For examples of
usage, please refer to Porter's Handbook.
* USE_TCL/USE_TK variables were changed to provide runtime dependency. New
variables USE_TCL_BUILD and USE_TK_BUILD were added. All unintuitive
quirks of these variables were fixed.
* USE_LDCONFIG was fixed to work properly for ports, that specify @cwd in the
pkg-plists.
* Old bsd.java.mk version 1.0 macros were removed.
* New category: ports-mgmt
* New virtual category: gnustep

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* The bsd.port.mk pre and post includes have been split into 3 pieces
instead of 2, to allow OPTIONS to be able to influence dependencies.
This is still experimental and not yet enabled by any port. This adds
the file 'bsd.port.options.mk'.
* bsd.gcc.mk has been updated to understand gfortran.
* emulators/linux_base is now removed. linux_base-fc4 has been the default
for some time.
* The USE_FIREBIRD macro was added to bsd.database.mk.

PKGNAME.
* bsd.lua.mk was added to support lua-related ports.
* DESTDIR was removed from bsd.scons.mk because it was problematic.
* Some quotes were added to the 'missing' target to improve handling of
duplicate origins.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
* MASTER_SITES variable can now look like MACRO1/subdir1 MACRO2/subdir2, and
be expanded in a way that you expect it to, that is apply different subdirs
to different sites. You can safely replace ${M_S_FOO:S/%SUBDIR%/bar/} with
FOO/bar.
* If M_S_SUBDIR is unset, a macro in M_S won't set it anymore, but rather
substitute %SUBDIR% all by itself. Now it's possible to use macros with
different default subdirs and they will expand in a proper way.
20060805:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
* MASTER_SITES variable can now contain special macros which are expanded into
traditional URL[:group] syntax and cause some convenient effects, e.g. set a
default M_S_SUBDIR.
* A macro is any space-delimited word in MASTER_SITES without a forward slash.
* If MASTER_SITE_<macro> is defined, then the macro is expanded to its value.
* Abbreviated macros are provided for extremely popular locations, e.g. CPAN
and SF. To avoid further obfuscation their unabbreviated equivalents should
be avoided.
* Popular macros can trigger M_S_SUBDIR to default to a predefined value, e.g.
${PORTNAME:L} for SF and ${PORTNAME:C/-.*//} for CPAN.
* Abbreviations and M_S_SUBDIR defaults are defined by MASTER_SITES_ABBREVS
and MASTER_SITES_SUBDIRS, both set in bsd.sites.mk.
* If a macro belongs to a group (e.g. SF:source1), all the sites it expands
into also belong to the same group.
* Macros and traditional URL's can be mixed safely, their order stays intact.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.*.mk and to
Tools/scripts/security-check.awk:
* Add DESTDIR support to let one install ports into a jail from outside.
A package is installed under ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX} now and registered under
${DESTDIR}/var/db/pkg.
* TARGETDIR variable has been added for referencing ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}.
* LOCALBASE, LINUXBASE and X11BASE variables point to the final destination
now, LOCALBASE_REL, LINUXBASE_REL and X11BASE_REL can be used for the
old behavior. The behavior has not been changed in PLIST_SUB.
Note, that the three variables are still overridable with a hack, so this
change doesn't affect POLA, but necessary for DESTDIR support.
* OSVERSION is now determined from the userland, not from the kernel.
Cross-compiling between releases is still not supported, but this
behavior is more correct for jails with differing userland from
the kernel version.
* Add some sanity check for PREFIX and DESTDIR. This can be skipped by
defining IGNORE_PATH_CHECKS, but very discouraged.
* Deinstalling from DESTDIR, determining if a port is already installed in
DESTDIR, etc. are implemented by chrooting those specific commands.
* Text changes to reflect that we are installing to DESTDIR, removing from
DESTDIR, etc.
Note, that this change implements only the infrastructure support. Ports should
also be implemented to respect DESTDIR.

GNOME has been upgraded from 2.10.2 to 2.12.1. This update brings with
it many important porting changes:
- gtk20's pkg-config file no longer contains the X11 pango modules.
Therefore, if your port requires these modules, you may have to
manually patch them in to your port's Makefiles. Contact
[email protected] if you have questions on this.
- A new USE_GNOME component, ltverhack, has been added. This
pseudo-component hacks libtool so that shared library versions are
more consistent with other operating systems. Using this component
can prevent unnecessary shared library version changes.
- A new macro, INSTALLS_ICONS, has been added. If your port installs
Freedesktop-style icons to ${LOCALBASE}/share/icons or
${X11BASE}/share/icons, then you should use this macro. NOTE:
use of this macro requires your port to set either USE_GNOME or
WANT_GNOME.

- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not necessary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the Linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overridden) Linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
be marked as IGNORE.

The CVSup port has been upgraded with a patch to correct the

This solves a problem some people were having, where CVSup would
delete their ports/INDEX* files even though the files were listed
in the "refuse" file. The bug fix is in the cvsupd server, so
mirror sites must upgrade their servers in order for this fix to
help. Meanwhile, adding "ports/Attic/INDEX*" to the refuse file

There has been a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more
flexibility and new features.
Now a port may depend on a specific set of PHP extensions. To do so,
simply replace:
USE_PHP= yes
with:
USE_PHP= ext1 ext2 ext3 ...
in the port Makefile. A list of all PHP extensions is included in bsd.php.mk.
If the requirement is a build dependency too, the port should also define:
USE_PHP_BUILD=yes
Moreover, the new knob WANT_PHP_SCR has been added to indicate that the port
requires the 'php' binary to run.
Last but not least, many common operations to build/install/register a
PHP extension can now be omitted from the port Makefile if it defines:
USE_PHPEXT= yes
For more information on this point and on additional variables, see
bsd.php.mk.

OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default.
When your port links against the openldap client libraries use

be used in ports Makefiles.

USE_LIBTOOL_VER now configures a port to use the ports version of libtool
instead of its included version. This was put in place to reduce the
number of ad hoc patches to individual ports' libtools to prevent .la
file installation as well as fix various threading problems.
To restore the previous libtool behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. It works the exact same way as USE_LIBTOOL_VER
in that it takes a libtool version as its argument.
For example, to use the included version of libtool with extra hacks
provided by libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
Note: these macros are mutually exclusive. Your port should only include
one or the other if it needs to make use of libtool.

The following behavioral or feature changes were committed:
* Support verbose index builds with INDEX_VERBOSE
* Support glob expressions in USE_GETTEXT to allow more flexibility
in the face of future gratuitous library version bumps by the gettext
developers:
USE_GETTEXT=yEs # Works as before (case-insensitive)
USE_GETTEXT=[5-7] # Accepts any of those libintl.so.x versions
# in the LIB_DEPENDS
* Extend 'make search' support to allow much more flexible searching
From the PR:
Besides the good old key and name variables, this patch adds
support for path, info, maint, cat, bdeps, and rdeps, which match
on the appropriate fields, plus their exclusion counterparts: xkey,
xname, etc.
Examples:
Find all ports whose names contain "pear-" but not "html" or "http":
make search name=pear- xname='ht(tp|ml)'
Find ports whose names contain "pear-" and which don't have apache
listed in build-time dependencies:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache
The positive variables (name, key, maint, etc) are AND-ed, their
negative versions are OR-ed; in other words, matching any x-
variable will cause the port to be skipped, mismatch on any non-x-
variable will cause it to be skipped.
Examples:
Find ports that are both in the 'www' category and maintained by
Thierry Thomas:
make search maint=thierry@ path=/www/
Find ports in the 'archivers' category that are either not orphaned
or don't have "zip" in their names (contrived):
make search cat=archivers xmaint=ports@freebsd xname=zip
It is possible to select fields to display.
Example:
Find PEAR ports that don't build-depend on apache, displaying only
Port:, Path:, and Info: lines:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache display=name,path,info
Case-sensitivity can now be turned of with icase=1.
Example:
Find ports with @freebsd.org maintainer addresses without the
"proper" capitalization (@FreeBSD.org), display their paths and
maintainer addresses:
make search maint=@freebsd\\.org icase=0 display=maint,path
