When installing bison, create a symlink from bin/bison to bin/bison1875 that way ports that require bison1875 (ie: PostgreSQL 7.4+) can properly detect this dependency. Given both bison's have the appropriate CONFLICTS sections, this should be a big enough hint to users to move from bison < 1.875 to something more recent. Bump port revision.

update devel/bison: add WITHOUT_NLS support The patch allows bison to be compiled without gettext support, for use when space is tight or the gettext dependency is not desired. PR: 48824 Submitted by: Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@web.de>f84ed2e942
Add bison 1.875. Some grammars require the new version of Bison (such as PostgreSQL), however the new bison also breaks many many ports. Compromise with a new port. Installs as bison and _not_ bison1875 and should be mutually exclusive to the main bison port. Hopefully the bison authors will clean up their product and this port can disappear when the base bison port is updated in the future or Repo copied by: fjoe Approved by: krisea4177f061

Due to popular demant into each port which might be inserted into dependency list by bsd.port.mk insert anti foot-shooting device, which prevents infinite fork loop when the user defines corresponding USE_XXX in global make.conf, command line or environment. Similar devices should probably be inserted into ports that might be inserted into dependency list by others bsd.foo.mk files (bsd.ruby.mk, bsd.python.mk and so on.)4fe6852b8f

Update to version 1.33. This version was tested locally by a few trusted committers & friends, and is believed to *actually* be as usable and stable as version 1.28. (unlike *cough*, *cough* other 1.3x versions which have caused no end of problems...)a3454389d0

This solves the problems * New directives. `%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose', `%debug', `%source_extension' and `%header_extension'. * The input and the output files has automatically a similar extension.
