• port moved here from x11/nvidia-driver-9631 on 2007-07-23
  REASON: moved to x11/nvidia-driver-96xx
  

- Update to version 173.14.05, the latest from NVidia
- Remove NVVERSION hacks and corresponding comments
- Fix X11BASE reference in a comment

NVidia updated legacy versions of their drivers: original distfiles were missing
the Linux
compatibility libraries and had to be replaced.

Reported by:    several
Confirmed by:   Christian Zander of NVidia

Catch up with latest updates from NVidia:
- Update mainstream driver to version 169.12
- Update legacy drivers to versions 71.86.04 and 96.43.05

Forgot in previous commit to master port.

Update nVidia legacy driver versions to 7186 and 9643, forgot in previous
commit.

Long-awaited NVidia driver update:

- Update the driver to the latest version, 100.14.11
- Update legacy driver versions to 1.0-7185 and 1.0-9639
- Prevent the port from messing with system configuration files (e.g.
  /boot/loader.conf) and doing automatic module loading/unloading.  This
  functionality would be lost in package anyway, and might cause undesired
  side effects [*]
- Register proper @exec/@unexec for ldconfig(8) calls for Linux libraries
- Kill NVidia's afterinstall banner, our pkg-message tells the same but is
  more detailed and accurate
- Require X server being installed
- INSTALLS_SHLIB -> USE_LDCONFIG, seems to be OK nowadays
- Respect NOPORTDOCS user setting
- Throw in couple of comments + other minor tweaks

Reset PORTREVISIONs while no one notices.

In sight of upcoming update, overhaul things slightly:

- NVVERSION is no longer user settable.  nVidia changed their versioning
  scheme, which made my life a bit harder.  Since this is master port and
  cares about legacy version slaves as well, derive NVVERSION from DIST-
  VERSION as doing so required less intrusive changes.  Update the comment
  accordingly.  UPDATING note will be committed separately
- Retire OSVERSION hack since it's no longer needed.  PORTREVISION are now
  set in all three nvidia-driver ports independently.  Previously it was
  not really safe because NVVERSION was user settable variable
- Introduce new variable, SHLIB_VERSION, and use it in PLIST_SUB, because
  it's not always equal to NVVERSION these days
- Mute MKDIR along the way

For slave ports:

- Rename port directory names to reflect future reality: their versions
  going to bump as well.  No repo copy since there's no history to preserve
