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.
20160402:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Adding ${PORTSDIR} in dependency lines is no longer necessary meaning
RUN_DEPENDS= foo:${PORTSDIR}/bar/foo
can now be written
RUN_DEPENDS= foo:bar/foo
if the path after ':' is not absolute the framework will automatically
prepend ${PORTSDIR}/
20160301:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Introduce GH_TUPLE.
GH_TUPLE allows one to put all the GH_{ACCOUNT,PROJECT,TAGNAME} into one
variable, in the form of account:project:tagname[:group]. It is helpful when
there are many submodules.
20160207:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The GNOME and MATE framework activation changed. To use the frameworks
now either gnome or mate needs to be added USES.
The usage of USE_GNOME, USE_MATE, INSTALLS_ICONS and for example
GLIB_SCHEMAS stays the same.
Like with USES, the use of USE_GNOME and so after bsd.port.pre.mk
is now forbidden.
20160112:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Support has been added for "or later" variants of GNU licenses
(e.g. LICENSE=GPLv2+) and for Public Domain (LICENSE=PD).
Complete list of new LICENSE values:
AGPLv3+ GPLv1+ GPLv2+ GPLv3+ GPLv3RLE+ LGPL20+ LGPL21+ LGPL3+ PD
20160110:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
USE_FIREBIRD and USE_SQLITE has been replaced by USES=firebird and
USES=sqlite
20151105:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Change the meaning of NO_WRKSUBDIR to force a WRKDIR != WRKSRC.
Right now, NO_WRKSUBDIR means that the extraction does not produce a
subdirectory, and that everything goes straight into WRKDIR. It is
problematic, because during the build of a port, quite a few files
are created in there, and then, a stage directory, where everything
is installed, and then a pkg directory where the package is created,
and those often conflict, or get in the way, of the building
process.
With this, NO_WRKSUBDIR will extract the distfiles directly into
WRKSRC instead of WRKDIR. In this case, WRKSRC is artificial and is
based on PKGNAME and not DISTNAME, mitigate conflicts with rc files.
20151022:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Improved support for USES=shebangfix
- We now support multiple values for *_OLD_CMD
- We replace more variants by default (/bin/${lang}, /usr/bin/${lang},
/usr/bin/env ${lang}).
- shebangfix now also supports lua if USES=lua is specified
- Pattern matching has been improved: we now only match whole worlds,
e.g. "/usr/bin/perl5.005" is no longer erroneously replaced with
"${perl_CMD}5.005".
Note that *_OLD_CMD entries which contain spaces must now be quoted.
20150928:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
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.
20150926:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
@sample now accept arguments, so it can now be used the following way:
@sample afile.sample
or
@sample path/to/example etc/target
20150926:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
New keywords are supported in pkg since 1.5.x:
@preexec <command>: execute the <command> during pre-install scripts
@postexec <command>: execute the <command> during post-install scripts
@preunexec <command>: execute the <command> during pre-deinstall scripts
@postunexec <command>: execute the <command> during post-deinstall scripts
@exec does not specify when if should be executed and is now considered as
deprecated.
20150914:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Introducing the %%PERL5_MAN1%% PLIST_SUB entry, as Perl now installs man1
pages in the same prefix as man3 pages.
20150828:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
<opt>_VARS and <opt>_VARS_OFF have been introduced to allow for a generic way
to set/append to variables.
OPT1_VARS= foo=bar baz+=bam
will set FOO to bar and append bam to BAZ if OPT1 is enabled. <opt>_VARS_OFF
works the same way, if the option is disabled.
20150818:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The CMAKE_ENV option has been deprecated. It no longer has any effect, and
the CONFIGURE_ENV variable should be used instead.
20150818:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
<opt>_IMPLIES and <opt>_PREVENTS have been introduced to register dependency,
or conflicts between options.
OPTIONS_DEFINE= FOO BAR BAZ
FOO_IMPLIES= BAR
BAZ_PREVENTS= BAR
If the FOO option is selected, the BAR option will be enabled as well. If
the BAZ and BAR options are both enabled, an error will be given.
20150817:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
UNIQUENAME and LATEST_LINK have been removed. LATEST_LINK was only used by
ports-mgmt/pkg{,-devel} and PKGBASE can be used in its stead. UNIQUENAME was
used by USE_LDCONFIG where it was not unique enough, and as old compat shims
with options.
20150716:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
USE_GHOSTSCRIPT was replaced by USES=ghostscript. The ghostscript USES
accepts version, build, run, nox11 and for version 9 the agpl argument.
If no version is specified, the default 9 for GHOSTSCRIPT_DEFAULT is honored.
20150701:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Make option target helpers have been added, it allows replacing:
.include <bsd.port.options.mk>

Extend the multiple distfiles USE_GITHUB framework by allowing it to fetch
only additional distfiles, but not the main one. Set USE_GITHUB=nodefault

20150528:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
USE_GITHUB can now fetch multiple distfiles. It uses a grouping feature
similar to MASTER_SITES/PATCH_SITES.
Some helpful variables are provided: WRKSRC_<group> for putting things in the
right place in post-extract, and DISTNAME_<group>/DISTFILE_<group> for use
with EXTRACT_ONLY.
A simple example:
PORTNAME= bar
PORTVERSION= 1.0
USE_GITHUB= yes
GH_ACCOUNT= foo
GH_PROJECT= ${PORTNAME}-images:images
post-extract:
@${MV} ${WRKSRC_images} ${WRKSRC}/images
It will fetch those two distfiles:
$ make fetch-urlall-list
https://codeload.github.com/foo/bar/tar.gz/1.0?dummy=/foo-bar-1.0_GH0.tar.gz
https://codeload.github.com/foo/bar-images/tar.gz/1.0?dummy=/foo-bar-images-1.0-1.0.tar.gz
It will then extract them to ${WRKDIR} in their respectives directories.

site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have :
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed.
It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits.
As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from
PLIST_SUB.
The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now

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
UNAME_ENV+= OSVERSION=${OSVERSION}
UNAME_ENV+= UNAME_s=FreeBSD
UNAME_ENV+= UNAME_r=11.0-CURRENT

New PYTHON_CONCURRENT_INSTALL knob to support the parallel installation

receive an additional suffix, based on ${PYTHON_VER}.
The values for the uniquefiles USES are set as follows:

UNIQUE_SUFFIX= -${PYTHON_VER}
If the port is installed for the current default python version, scripts and
binaries in

New USES=uniquefiles to make files or directories unique
by adding a prefix or suffix to them.
Files listed in UNIQUE_PREFIX_FILES will receive the prefix
set via UNIQUE_PREFIX. The same applies to UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES,
but with the chosen UNIQUE_SUFFIX. UNIQUE_PREFIX and
UNIQUE_SUFFIX are set to PKGNAMEPREFIX and PKGNAMESUFFIX by
default.
The uniquefiles USES enables ports to name files in special
ways, e.g. by outlining that the port does not support X11
(-nox11). A binary named bin/foo thus can be easily renamed
to bin/foo-featureA via
USES= uniquefiles
UNIQUE_SUFFIX= -featureA
UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES= bin/foo
The uniquefiles USES automatically adjusts the plist at
installation time. There is no need to consider the prefix
or suffix in the pkg-plist file itself. If the original name
of the renamed file is bin/foo, this exact name should be put
into pkg-plist.
The dirs argument to USES=uniquefiles will cause certain
standard directories, such as DOCSDIR or EXAMPLESDIR to be
prepended with the UNIQUE_PREFIX. The change to the directories
will hapen prior to configuring or building the port, so that
the port Makefile as well as the port's build logic are aware
of the changed name.
Since the uniquefiles USES effectively manipulates the port's
installation and file layout, it will only be available for
stagedir-aware ports. Ports with NO_STAGE=yes will be unable
to use the uniquefiles USES.

lang/python (and as such the 'python' binary and accomplices)
has been removed as default dependency for the USE_PYTHON,
USE_PYTHON_BUILD and USE_PYTHON_RUN knobs.
Ports need to use a designated (default) python interpreter
to build and install and in most cases for execution in the user
environment. Ports that install python scripts, which are not
limited to a certain python version (or version range), can
include lang/python as build and/or run dependency.
USE_PYTHON=yes and similar knobs will only pull in the
default python version (e.g. lang/python27), but none
of the meta ports or lang/python itself.
Please use lang/python as build or run-time dependency only,
if there is no other way to get a port working properly, since
the usage of lang/python complicates package builds for different
python versions.

The ports tree is now staged by default. With pkgng the sequence hasn't
changed, the main difference is that creating package is now independent
from installing it. With pkg_install, the package is now created first
and make install, do install the package.
New macros:
- STAGEDIR: PATH to the directory where the port will be staged.
- NO_STAGE: Keep the old behaviour of the ports tree (aka no staging area)
Unsupported macro if NO_STAGE is not set:
- MAN* with staging man page compression and handling of hardlinks and
symlinks is automatically done in the stage. the manpages becomes then a
"normal" plist files and should be tracked in pkg-plist.
- MANCOMPRESSED the compress-man target is able to only compress when it
needed.
New target:
- stage: this installs everything into the stage directory
- makeplist: this will create a pkg-plist and print it to stdout. This is
a sample plist and it should always be _reviewed_ not directly used.
NOTE: with staging only what is in the plist will be installed, nothing more,
meaning a port staged cannot have leftovers except directories left. It is
really important to double check the pkg-plist to make sure all the files
the maintainer wants to package are in! make makeplist can help in that area.
