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.
20130607:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Checks were added to block GH_TAGNAME=master as this is not a valid
setup. A known hash or tag should be used for GH_TAGNAME instead of
a branch name. As soon as a branch is updated, the known checksum
in the distinfo would then be invalid.
20130606:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* WRKSRC_SUBDIR has been added to simplify overriding WRKSRC
to use a subdirectory:
WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}/src
Becomes:
WRKSRC_SUBDIR= src
20130606:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The OPTIONS macro is no longer recognized, please use the new options
framework.
20130509:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Two new USES macros to handle mime data of ports.
USES= desktop-file-utils
Handles MimeType in .desktop files that are installed in
share/applications.
USES= shared-mime-info
For supporting mime xml files installed in
share/mime/packages.
The desktop-file-utils USES is only needed if the .desktop files
installed by the port has a MimeType field.
USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils is deprecated.
The shared-mime-info USES handles mime types xml files.
Please note that only the packages/${NAME}.xml file should be listed in
the plist. The shared-mime-info port will clean up the share/mime/*
directories and generated files.
Both USES have there own post-install and code that adds @exec/@unexec
lines to the pkg-plist. This means that when a port switches to the
USES macro, the related post-install command and @exec/@unexec
lines can be removed from the prot.
20130507:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle setting correct shebang to scripts
By default it will fix bash, perl, php, ruby and python on all files specified
in the SHEBANG_FILES macro (glob pattern relative to ${WRKSRC})
Paths can be customized, and number of languages supported can be extended.
* USE_GETTEXT, USE_NCURSES, USE_READLINE are no longer recognized
20130506:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle linking on ncurses and on readline
USES= ncurses will set env and make the port link to base version of ncurses
if no port version is installed otherwise it will link against port version
USES= ncurses:port will for the port to link against the ports version of
ncurses
USES= ncurses:base will force to link against base version of ncurses.
USES= readline will make the port link against base version of readline except
on 10+ where it will force dependency on the port version of readline
USES= readline:port will anyway force dependency on the port version of
readline.
20130426:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* USE_ICONV has been deprecated and converted into the iconv USE
feature
USES= iconv
20130425:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* USE_CDRTOOLS is no longer recognized
* USE_FREETYPE is no longer recognized
20130423:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle support for gettext dependency:
USES= gettext:build will add gettext into BUILD_DEPENDS
USES= gettext:run will add gettext into RUN_DEPENDS
USES= gettext:lib will add gettext into LIB_DEPENDS
It deprecates USE_GETTEXT which will be removed as soon as it is not
used anymore
20130422:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* The entry for 20120830 to change CCACHE_DIR was not fully supported
by all ports. There is now a CCACHE_DIR variable that can be used
in /etc/make.conf for more complete coverage:
CCACHE_DIR=/var/cache/ccache
20130422:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle support for pkgconf (pkg-config) dependency:
USES= pkgconfig[:build] will add pkgconf into BUILD_DEPENDS
USES= pkgconfig:run will add pkgconf into RUN_DEPENDS
USES= pkgconfig:both will add pkgconf into both RUN and BUILD DEPENDS
It deprecates USE_PKGCONFIG which will be removed as soon as it is not
used anymore
20130320:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle support for Zenoss ports and Zenpacks:
USES= zenoss
20130319:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro should be used instead of deprecated USE_CMAKE and
CMAKE_OUTSOURCE:
USES= cmake:outsource
to perform out-of-source build (equivalent to former pair usage of
USE_CMAKE/CMAKE_OUTSOURCE)
USES= cmake
In-source build (equivalent to plain USE_CMAKE=yes) can be used if
project doesn't support out-of-source build.
20130319:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* The options framework now uses ports-mgmt/dialog4ports contributed by
Ilya A. Arkhipov. It boostraps it if not present when one calls
make config.
dialog4ports provides a new UI able to represent all the features
provided by the new options framework.
20130315:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* USE_QMAIL_RUN, USE_QMAIL_BUILD and WANT_QMAIL have been removed
and converted into the qmail USE feature
USES= qmail:run will add qmail into RUN_DEPENDS
USES= qmail:build will add qmail into BUILD_DEPENDS
USES= qmail[:both] will add qmail into both RUN and BUILD DEPENDS
USES= qmail:vars will set QMAIL_PREFIX
20130315:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Add new Keywords directory and first info.yaml keyword (@info).
Keywords directory will contain all the custom plist keywords allowing to
extend pkg-plist with new keywords. Only works with pkgng.
20130307:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* New USES macro to handle on demand features, 2 examples has been added to
the ports tree:
pathfix: to replace USE_GNOME= gnomehack
fuse: to replace USE_FUSE= yes
20130207:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Use of PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS is unsupported. The former
expands to the empty string, while the second is simply -pthread.
Please use -pthread directly in your LDFLAGS, if needed.
20121214:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* Add a USE_FUSE macro to handle fuse dependencies. It makes
sure sysutils/fusefs-libs gets installed and depending on
fuse being in base or not it installs sysutils/fusefs-kmod.
20121210:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* OPTIONS has been extended 2 new macros are available:
OPTIONS_RADIO - allows only 0 or 1 options to be selected
OPTIONS_GROUP - allows 0 or N options among to be selected
20121010:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* IPV6 option is now activated by default for the whole ports tree
20121010:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* The ports tree is now using pkgng as the default package manager
for HEAD. This only affects users of CURRENT -- users of other
branches need not take any action.
To keep pkg_install as the default package manager, use the new
WITHOUT_PKGNG knob in make.conf
20120830:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
* CCACHE support for building ports has been added (depends on
devel/ccache). Therefore new user settable variables are available:
WITH_CCACHE_BUILD - Enable CCACHE support (Default off)
NO_CCACHE - Disable CCACHE support for example for certain
ports if CCACHE is enabled.
By default CCACHE uses $HOME/.ccache as cache directory. To use
a non-default cache directory this could be overwritten like:

* GitHub support has been integrated into bsd.sites.mk. In order to
fetch distfiles from GitHub, a port must define USE_GITHUB along
with the following variables:
GH_ACCOUNT - account name of the GitHub user hosting the project
default: not set, mandatory
GH_PROJECT - name of the project on GitHub
default: ${PORTNAME}
GH_TAGNAME - name of the tag to download (master, 2.0.1, ...)
default: ${DISTVERSION}
GH_COMMIT - first 7 digits of the commit that generated GH_TAGNAME
(man git-describe(1))
default: not set, mandatory
The port www/tivoka is an example how to use this mechanism.

* The ports tree moved from CVS to Subversion. A Subversion to
CVS exporter is in place to continue the support of CVSup but
do not commit to pcvs directly.
All commits have to be done in the new port Subversion repository
on svn.FreeBSD.org. You will find more information about
Subversion in the Ports Subversion Primer in the FreeBSD wiki,
in the "Committer's Guide" and the "Porter's Handbook".
If you are in doubt or unsure about a Subversion operation

* LDFLAGS is now passed to both the configure and make environments,
and should be handled just like CPPFLAGS (see previous entry).
Summarizing both LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS changes, where you would
have used
CONFIGURE_ENV= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
MAKE_ENV= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
now just use
CPPFLAGS+= "-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
LDFLAGS+= "-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
Note that it's advised to append these variables (+=) instead
of overriding (=) to allow customization by user.

* CPPFLAGS is now passed to both the configure and make environments,
so this no longer needs to happen in individual ports by adding this
to CONFIGURE_ENV or MAKE_ENV. Rather, just set CPPFLAGS in the port
Makefile (if necessary).
For example, where you would have used
CONFIGURE_ENV= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
MAKE_ENV= SOMETHING=foo CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
now just use
CPPFLAGS= "-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
MAKE_ENV SOMETHING=foo

* 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.

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.

* 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.

* 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

introduced. Existing ports in the tree were modified.
* Unused category 'tcl81' was removed, and new categories 'tcl' and 'tk'

* 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.

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
* Unused 'picobsd' category was removed.

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.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* PKGVERSION was introduced as an intermediate variable refactored out of
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.
20060804:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
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.

these variables all had already set IGNORE, not BROKEN, so they
were really misnomers.

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.
