Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on WWW: lines in pkg-descr files. This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these pkg-descr files. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr files in order to preserve them. There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These ports will not be touched in this commit. The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as deprecated. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0
sysutils/coreutils: update to 9.1 PR: 265770 Approved by: jharris@widomaker.com (maintainer)9b21b2e65c
Fix CONFLICTS entries of multiple ports There have been lots of missing CONFLICTS_INSTALL entries, either because conflicting ports were added without updating existing ports, due to name changes of generated packages, due to mis-understanding the format and semantics of the conflicts entries, or just due to typoes in package names. This patch is the result of a comparison of all files contained in the official packages with each other. This comparison was based on packages built with default options and may therefore have missed further conflicts with optionally installed files. Where possible, version numbers in conflicts entries have been generalized, some times taking advantage of the fact that a port cannot conflict with itself (due to logic in bsd.port.mk that supresses the pattern match result in that case). A few ports that set the conflicts variables depending on complex conditions (e.g. port options), have been left unmodified, despite probably containing outdated package names. These changes should only affect the installation of locally built ports, not the package building with poudriere. They should give an early indication of the install conflict in cases where currently the pkg command aborts an installation when it detects that an existing file would be overwritten, Approved by: portmgr (implicit)bcaf25a8c8

It is now installed as ggid. linux-gid and sh-utils no longer seem to exist in the tree, so drop CONFLICTS completely.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them

Sponsored by: Absolight597afc47basysutils/coreutils: 8.23 -> 8.25 - cp now correctly copies files with a hole at the end of the file, and extents allocated beyond the apparent size of the file. That combination resulted in the trailing hole not being reproduced. - cut --fields no longer outputs extraneous characters on some uClibc configs. - install -D again copies relative file names when absolute file names are also specified along with an absolute destination directory name. - ls no longer prematurely wraps lines when printing short file names. - mv no longer causes data loss due to removing a source directory specified multiple times, when that directory is also specified as the destination. - shred again uses defined patterns for all iteration counts. - sort --debug -b now correctly marks the matching extents for keys that specify an offset for the first field. - tail -F now works with initially non existent files on a remote file system.

Remove OSVERSION checks that do not make sense any more.
For example (${OSVERSION} >= 900000 && ${OSVERSION} < 900021) is always true,
as is (${OSVERSION} > 900002 || ${OSVERSION} < 900000 && ${OSVERSION} > 800107).
Regarding patches, when an EXTRA_PATCHES is no longer needed, I remove it, when
it is always needed, I renamed it, in one case, I merged two patches.

Convert GMAKE to MAKE_CMD Please note that lots of invocation of MAKE_CMD here are wrong as they do not properly respect MAKE_ENV and friends With hat: portmgra33191366c
Support LIBS like LDFLAGS.
- Add LIBS="${LIBS}" to MAKE_ENV and CONFIGURE_ENV.
- Add an option helper for LIBS.
- Adjust all ports that already use LIBS. Also remove references to
PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS while here.
- Some ports did not support having a LIBS environment variable and
required additional patches.
Somewhat simplified a linker command line looks like:
${CC} ${src_LDFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} ${src_LIBS} ${LIBS}
where src_LDFLAGS and src_LIBS are controlled by upstream and LDFLAGS and
LIBS can be controlled by us. If possible -L and -l flags need to be
added to LIBS to make sure they appear after any -L and -l flags set by
upstream. Many ports currently add -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to LDFLAGS but this
may appear too early on the command line causing installed libraries to
be linked in instead of freshly built ones.
Additional changes:
benchmarks/netio: Replace WITH_IPV6 with an IPV6 option.
comms/gnokii: Replace some patches with USES=pathfix. Also remove -fPIC.
graphics/gimageview: USES=libtool and install desktop file in DESKTOPDIR.
graphics/visionworkbench: Remove FreeBSD 7 support.
multimedia/libmovtar: New LIB_DEPENDS syntax.
multimedia/opencinematools: Use standard do-build.
net/siproxd: USES=libtool:keepla (port actually needs .la files for plugins)
net-mgmt/nagios: Remove -fPIC.
net-mgmt/nagios4: Remove -fPIC.
print/cups-base: Only add -lssp_nonshared on i386 and OSVERSION < 1000036.
security/p11-kit: Replace PTHREAD_LIBS in CONFIGURE_ENV with
ac_cv_func_pthread_mutexattr_init=no in CONFIGURE_ARGS. This skips a test
in configure that falsely detects pthread_mutexattr_init in our libc.
sysutils/dar: Fix iconv detection.
x11/rxvt-unicode: Remove -lstdc++ and patch configure to remove a FreeBSD
hack and use $CXX as linker as on other platforms.
