  Affects: users of sysutils/policykit and sysutils/polkit

  Author: gnome@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit,
    and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order.  First,
    upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6.  Then, force rebuild and reinstall
    of sysutils/polkit.  If you do not do this, applications which depend
    on polkitd will fail.
  
  

Fix the build when libinotify is installed.

- Remove WITH_FBSD10_FIX, is no longer needed

- Fix build on FreeBSD 10

Approved by:    kwm (implicit)

- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead

Rename polkitd to polkitd-old so as not to conflict with polkitd from
sysutils/polkit.  This legacy version of polkitd shouldn't really be
used anyway.

Add support to create users and groups from information stored in UIDs/GIDs
files. Users and groups won't be deleted at deinstall time as we're lacking
a refcount to know if any port is using them.

Also convert a few ports while I'm here.

Add support for NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES.

* Fix a problem where waitpid() may return EINTR which causes the various
  polkit helpers to report a failure.  This fix allows dynamic polkit
  policies to actually work (e.g. mounting fixed drives with proper
  authorization).

* Workaround a bug in our version of getline(3), and check for EOF when
  getline does not return -1.

Correct the path to chown.

Fix some directory and file permissions to restore some lost PolicyKit
functionality.

Presenting GNOME 2.24 for FreeBSD.

See http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/ for the general
release notes.  On the FreeBSD front, this release introduces Fuse support
in HAL, adds multi-CPU support to libgtop, WebKit updates, and fixes some
long-standing seahorse and gnome-keyring bugs.  The documentation updates
to the website are forthcoming.

This release features commits by adamw, ahze, kwm, mezz, and myself.  It would
not have been possible without are contributors and testers:

Alexander Loginov
Craig Butler [1]
Dmitry Marakasov [6]
Eric L. Chen

Update the WWW to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit .

This patch should not have been removed.  It is very much required.

- Included by vendor in 0.9

Update to 0.9.

Fix a problem with PK's strndup() implementation assuming all strings
passed to it would be NUL-terminated.  This is known to fix crashes with
polkit-gnome-authorization and clock-applet.

Tested by:      pav

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.

The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Remove bash RUN_DEPENDS.  Bash really isn't needed.

Reported by:    Tijl Coosemans <tijl@ulyssis.org>

Update to 0.8, and fix a problem where policy updates were not processed
dynamically.

Add a default policy which allows root full control, and those in the wheel
group to authenticate for services using their password.

Discussed with: FreeBSD GNOME team

Plug a small memory leak.

- Remove depends on docbook-utils [1]
- Fix plist by adding missing ; fi

The FreeBSD GNOME team is proud to annunce the release of GNOME 2.22.0 for
FreeBSD.  The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ .  On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media.  Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME.  As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.

This release would not have been possible without the contributions and
testing efforts of the following people:

Pawel Worach
kan
edwin
Peter Ulrich Kruppa
J. W. Ballantine
Yasuda Keisuke
Andriy Gapon

Remove always-false/true conditions based on OSVERSION 500000

- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.
- Bump PORTREVISION for ports intalling files in ${X11BASE}.

Correct a copy-paste problem when allocating the polkit UID, and use a unique
UID/GID.

Mark this port IGNORE on 4.X as it does not build, and will not be
supported.

Start polkitd if gnome_enable is set to yes in /etc/rc.conf

Presenting GNOME 2.16.1 for FreeBSD.  This release represents a massive
amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.

On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE.  This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed.  The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily.  We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.

Back to GNOME 2.16.  This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD.  The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ .  But on top of what you will read there,

12 vulnerabilities affecting 17 ports have been reported in the past 14 days
