Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

- Update devel/automake to 1.15
- Update devel/gettext to 0.19.4
- Update devel/libtool and devel/libltdl to 2.4.5
- This version of libtool has been fixed to pass -fstack-protector to the
  compiler during linking.  Add the same fix to USES=libtool.  This should
  improve SSP support on FreeBSD/i386 8 and 9.
- databases/libmemcached, security/sssd: patch configure.ac so
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR appears earlier.
  For databases/libmemcached changing configure.ac causes manpages to be
  regenerated which requires extra dependencies so patch a makefile to
  prevent that.
- devel/xfce4-dev-tools: only depend on recent versions of autoconf and
  automake

- Run autotools in the same order as autoreconf, i.e. libtoolize, aclocal,
  autoconf, autoheader, automake. [1]
  This should allow replacing custom pre-configure and run-autotools
  targets that some ports have with USE_AUTOTOOLS.
- Set default LIBTOOLIZE_ARGS:
  -i: install missing build scripts.
  -c: copy files instead of linking them.  This is needed for USES=libtool
      to be able to patch them.
  -f: force replacement of existing files.  This ensures all files belong
      to the same version.

database/vsqlite:
- Fix with new LIBTOOLIZE_ARGS.
- INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip.

Convert all :U to :tu and :L to :tl

Since FreeBSD 8.4 and FreeBSD 9.1 make(1) do support :tu and :tl as a
replacement for :U and :L (which has been marked as deprecated)

bmake which is the default on FreeBSD 10+ only support by default
:tu/:tl a hack has been added at the time to support :U and :L to ease
migration. This hack is now not necessary anymore

Note that this makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) from
FreeBSD 8.3 or earlier

As the final (for now) cleanup of autotools, in order to reduce tree
churn on new versions, a new target has been introduced to allow
PLIST_SUB-style patching of files.  For example, rather than patching
"foo/bar/baz" to tweak some random occurance of an autoconf version number
to the latest, the patch should now replace it with %%AUTOCONF_VERSION%%

A new Makefile variable, AUTOTOOLSFILES has been introduced, which when
populated will automatically go through and patch %%AUTOCONF_VERSION%% to
the contents of ${AUTOCONF_VERSION} (and likewise for all other known
autotools variables -- "make -V AUTOTOOLS_VARS" to see the list for
a specific port.

Rework bsd.autotools.mk now that we have a single legacy autoconf/automake
(2.13/1.4) and an up-to-date version.

USE_AUTOTOOLS stanzas have now been changed to remove the specific
version number of the current version, for example:

autoconf:213    -> autoconf213
automake:14     -> automake14
autoconf:268    -> autoconf
automake:111    -> automake

This will considerably reduce tree-churn when it comes to new versions
of the "current" autotools, allowing for quicker deployment.

Conversion to a single libtool environment.

* devel/libtool13 is no more (requiem mors pacem)
* devel/libtool15 now installs as ${LOCALBASE}/bin/libtool etc.
  (ie: no versioning on the binaries and scripts)
* USE_AUTOTOOLS= libtool:XX:inc has been deprecated
  Where possible, ports should simply set GNU_CONFIGURE=yes and use  the
pre-packaged version of libtool that comes as part of the  source distribution
* all the legacy hacks to libtool that we have been saddled with over  the years
have been removed. (eg: .la files are now installed)    This brings us in line
not only with Linux distributions, but also pkgsrc.
* libtool now understands, and correctly handles, "nonstandard" compilers
  such as g++34, gcc295, etc. etc.

This could not have happened without the truly outstanding work from kris,
not only putting up with me, but also running countless builds, both on
dosirak and pointyhat.  I am truly indebted to him.

Add a pre-everything:: target that will print out appropriate warnings
if a port is still using the old autotools Makefile constructs.

For example:

    *** AUTOTOOLS WARNING for x11/electricsheep
    This port is using old autotools constructs which wil be
    disappearing on 1st January 2006

    In most cases, this warning can be fixed by removing
    all the old constructs and replacing them with:
      USE_AUTOTOOLS=  libtool:13

The first line should be easily parseable by portbuild and tinderbox
clusters to flag such ports.

I'll be doing a few more sweeps of the ports tree to pick up on any
such ports over the coming weeks, before turning off the old system
and marking the port BROKEN in such cases.

Instead of checking to see if USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT is defined, ensure that
it is empty.  USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT will always be defined, but we don't
want to assume that we're using autotools compatibility unless its value

are set to expire on January 1st, 2006.

Please do *not* start using USE_AUTOTOOLS in port Makefiles until
after 6.0-RELEASE has gone out the door.  Once that has happened,
I will implement a tree-wide conversion process before 5.5-RELEASE,
at which points ports will be free to use the new mechanisms.

This change has been extensively locally tested with various large
consumers of autotools building with no ill-effects notice.  However,
there may well be edge cases that need to be taken care of.  After
discussion with various members of portmgr, it was agreed that this
commit could go ahead without an -exp run, but that does not, in
my mind, constitute full approval.  The responsibility for any breakages
caused by this commit are mine, and mine alone.  Please do file PRs,
or mail me directly, if breakage is noticed, and I will endeavor to
fix immediately.

Remove old, deprecated entry points into bsd.autotools.mk that merely
flagged a port as BROKEN.  Since INDEX builds just fine, it's pretty
obvious that all ports have been converted over to the current world
order, and this has been the case through at least the lifetime of 5.x,
so it's time they went away.

Add USE_ACLOCAL_VER= (automake-version), another entry point into
using the various GNU autotools, running "aclocal" at configuration
time, prior to any other tools.

This should allow a number of ports Makefiles to be cleaned up with
respect to their explicit calling of ${ACLOCAL}

Purge WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN

The versioned autotools are now strictly for building other ports in the tree.
Likewise, the gnu- autotools are for runtime dependencies for IDEs, and others,
where unmodified cross-platform capabilities are desired.

Move devel/autoconf->devel/autoconf253 and devel/automake->devel/automake15
All autotools ports are now truly versioned and do not conflict with each
other.

This marks the end of "Phase 1" of the autotools updates.

Add some documentation for USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.

Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by
the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port.  Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version.  To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER.  Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.

For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:

USE_LIBTOOL_VER=        15

To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:

USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=    15

With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the next
incarnation of ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk on the road to bringing
at least some semblance of sanity back to this corner of the
ports collection.

By far and away the easiest way to see the changes will be to
view the new file once committed, but here is a summary of the
changes:

1. USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, USE_AUTOHEADER, USE_AUTOMAKE have
been fully deprecated.  Ports attempting to use these variables
after the commit will error out, and most obviously break INDEX
generation, with a helpful error message.  Instead, ports must
now specifically choose the version of any of these tools that
they need with the corresponding USE_*_VER variables.  Note that
these variables understand any and all versions of autotools ports
in the tree, there is no longer a need to have specific version
numbers hardcoded in the infrastructure of bsd.autotools.mk
(as there is now).  In particular, this will immediately open up
automake18 and autoconf259 for general use and beating.

2. Similarly for WANT_LIBTOOL, WANT_AUTOCONF, and WANT_AUTOMAKE.
Again, these have been fully deprecated, and the equivalent
WANT_*_VER versions should be used.

In order to preserve existing behavior for these variables, please
note the 20040314 entry in ports/CHANGES for the appropriate
version numbers to use for any ports in the GNATS queue.

Both WANT_* and USE_* bring in the relevant tool as a build
dependency, and set up a reasonably large number of variables
pointing to the right programs to be using in the port.  The
only difference at the moment, is that USE_* will run an extra
autotools-related configuration step, whereas WANT_* merely
requests the environment.

3. The helper knob USE_LIBLTDL has been added which currently
simply adds a LIB dependency on the libltdl port.

4. Three new variables have been introduced,
WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN=yes.  These variables will
do nothing by themselves (a Work-In-Progress), but if the
appropriate autotool version is defined (either through
WANT_*_VER or USE_*_VER), this will add the relevant dependency
to RUN_DEPENDS.

Steps 3 and 4 now essentially negate the need for any kind of
direct dependency within a non-autotools port Makefile on
devel/autoconf*, devel/automake*, devel/libtool*, and devel/libltdl.

Introduce bsd.autotools.mk to the world, ripped from bsd.port.mk
This is essentially a null-commit, with the one exception that
the "patch-libtool" target is now called "patch-autotools" for
consistency with "run-autotools".
