- CDE - The Common Desktop Environment is an X Windows desktop environment
that was commonly used on commercial UNIX variants such as Sun Solaris,
HP-UX, and IBM AIX. Developed between 1993 and 1999, it has now been
released under an Open source license by The Open Group.
Common Desktop Environment requires the Subprocess Control Service,
dtcms, and the inetd super server to fully function.
First, add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd
Second, add the following line to /etc/services:
dtspc 6112/tcp # CDE Subprocess Control Service
# sysrc rpcbind_enable=YES
# sysrc dtcms_enable=YES
# sysrc inetd_enable=YES
# service rpcbind start && service dtcms start && service inetd start
Finally, make sure to add /usr/local/dt/bin to your path.
To start the Common Desktop Environment:
% env LANG=C startx /usr/local/dt/bin/Xsession
Alternatively, if you want to use the Login Manager as well, create
/usr/local/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and add this line:
allowed_users=anybody
To start the Common Desktop Enviroment Login Manager:
% /usr/local/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon

x11/cde: Make cde-25 default
Upstream commit 9af0993de added font aliases, specifically gb2312.1980,
which may be incompatible with some legacy Xm and Xaw apps however there
is a circumvention recommended by the cdesktopenv-code upstream. That is
to add -xrm '*international: true' to the affected app's arguments. A more
elegant approach is to create a ~/.Xdefaults file containing the following
example:
XPostit.*international: false
*international: true |

x11/cde-25: Introduce the new x11/cde-25
CDE 2.5.0 has many improvements however some users may discover that
fonts used by legacy Xm and Xaw apps are unreadable due to legacy apps
using the gb2312.1980 font registry. For now cde-24 will remain the
default cde however users can install cde-25 for new features and
bugfixes. |

x11/cde*: Rename cde to cde-24 and create cde meta port
In preparation of the introduction of CDE 2.5.0 to the ports tree,
rename the existing cde port to cde-24 and add a new cde meta port.
The reason for this is that CDE 2.5.0 appears to address some font
issues which negatively affects legacy Xm and Xaw apps. |

Revert "x11/cde: Mark unbroken on i386"
x11/cde on i386 is broken on the package build infrastructure because
it cannot bind to a temporary of type va_list. Some users have reported
that they can build it by hand using ports however there is no solution
for the problem on the FreeBSD poudriere.
This reverts commit 25db2173606446697bb4b5b376420c492e1f549c.

x11/cde: Fix build under 14-CURRENT
Under 14-CURRENT MALLOC_PRODUCTION is not set which puts malloc() into
debug mode. In debug mode malloc() enables opt.junk to write junk to
newly malloc()ed heap in order to help developers discover memory
allocation bugs. Unfortunately CDE's dtinfogen assumes newly malloc()ed
memory is zero filled (i.e. not filled with junk), resulting in
"flex scanner jammed". This likely causes parsing of the junk past the
end of any legitimate statements. This affects stock 14-CURRENT without
MALLOC_PRODUCTION enabled. This is accomplished by setting the
make environment variable MALLOC_CONF=junk:false. See malloc(3) for
a complete description of MALLOC_CONF=junk:false.

x11/cde: fix build on powerpc64le
1. Merge patches from shells/ast-ksh fixing ksh93 build.
2. Change endianness detection to what __BYTE_ORDER__ points to.
The way CDE detects endianness is not correct and I got errors about running
neither BE or LE.
This still fails to build on powerpc64, so BROKEN_powerpc64 is not removed. |

x11/cde: Update to 2.4.0
This commit updates x11/cde from 2.3.2 to 2.4.0. 2.4.0 fixes a local
privilege escalation in dteseesion, DtSvc.
Other changes include:
- 2.4.0 builds under FreeBSD 14-CURRENT using both poudriere (as before)
and now directly on the command line using make.
- i386 is now broken because it cannot bind to a temporary of type va_list.
- This commit also changes maintainership to myself (cy) as requested
by crees (maintainer) in PR/257148.
