Updating Information for FreeBSD ports developers
This file is maintained by portmgr@FreeBSD.org 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.
20240229:
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
A new command SETENVI that clears the environment and a new variable
WRK_ENV that contains a basic environment to use with SETENVI have
been added.
Ports that run (parts of) the upstream build system directly using
commands like "${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} ..." should change
that to "${SETENVI} ${WRK_ENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} ...". This way
the build system runs with a clean environment without interference
from the user environment or ports framework environment. Ports can
add extra environment variables to WRK_ENV similar to CONFIGURE_ENV,
MAKE_ENV, TEST_ENV, and so on, but WRK_ENV is used in all targets
while the latter are target-specific.
20240111:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
MAN[1-8LN]PREFIX variable has been removed from the framework, use PREFIX
directly.
20230929:
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
USE_PYTHON=cryptography{,_build,_test} has been added to the ports tree.
20230722 entry is obsoleted now. All existing USES=pycryptography* have
been converted to USE_PYTHON=cryptography{,_build,_test} in PR 273727.
Usage:
USE_PYTHON=cryptography_build adds security/py-cryptography to BUILD_DEPENDS
USE_PYTHON=cryptography adds security/py-cryptography to RUN_DEPENDS
USE_PYTHON=cryptography_test adds security/py-cryptography to TEST_DEPENDS
20230823:
AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org
USES=llvm.mk now supports 'export' (default) and 'noexport' arguments.
When export is set, CC, CXX and CPP will be set to the path corresponding
to the chosen llvm-version.
20230821:
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
A new uses 'ebur128' has been added to transparently depend on the
proper variant of 'rust' or 'legacy' depending on the default version
set by the user.
Usage: USES=ebur128:ARGS
Valid ARGS: <none>, build, lib, run, test
<none>: (default) same as lib
build: add BUILD_DEPENDS
lib: add LIB_DEPENDS
run: add RUN_DEPENDS
test: add TEST_DEPENDS
If you prefer not to use rust, add the following to your make.conf:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ebur128=legacy
20230728:
AUTHOR: andrew@tao11.riddles.org.uk, fuz@FreeBSD.org
A new uses 'guile' has been added to transparently depend on the
proper variant of guile depending on the default version set by the
user and the demands of the port.
See Mk/Uses/guile.mk for in-depth documentation.
20230722:
AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org
A new uses 'pycryptography' has been added to transparently depend on the
proper variant of 'rust' or 'legacy' depending on the default version set
by the user.
Supported arguments: <none>,build,run
Passing no arguments (<none>) is equivalent to passing both build and run.
Usage:
USES=pycryptography:build
-> adds a BUILD_DEPENDS only
USES=pycryptography:run
-> adds a RUN_DEPENDS only
USES=pycryptography:test
-> adds a TEST_DEPENDS only
USES=pycryptography:build,run or USES=pycryptography
-> adds a BUILD_ and RUN_DEPENDS
20230712:
AUTHOR: zirias@FreeBSD.org
USE_GITLAB has been changed to allow fetching by tag name. This was done by
removing the GL_COMMIT variable and introducing GL_TAGNAME instead.
Similar to USE_GITHUB/GH_TAGNAME, you can still use a commit hash with
GL_TAGNAME (the full 40-character hash is required for that). If not
specified, GL_TAGNAME defaults to DISTVERSIONFULL.
Note fetching by tag name might not work on gitlab installations running
very old versions; in that case, you must still specify a commit hash.
For now, GL_COMMIT is still recognized but deprecated, using it will issue
a warning in developer mode.
20230712:
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
Two new targets are now available: fetch-url-recursive-list
and fetch-urlall-recursive-list. They are the recursive variants
of the well-established targets fetch-url-list and fetch-urlall-list,
which allow for listing the complete URLs of DISTFILES and PATCHFILES
of a port. The recursive variants add the URLs of the port's dependencies
to the output.
20230430:
AUTHOR: zirias@FreeBSD.org
USES=magick has been updated based on flavorized ports.
A new argument 'x11' is available to specifically depend on the flavor
with X11 support. Fallback to DEFAULT_VERSIONS now happens
independently for the version (currently 6 or 7) and the flavor
(currently x11 or nox11).
Only use arguments for version or flavor if your port really requires
it. Also, there is no need to add options for selecting the -nox11
flavor any more, as the user setting in DEFAULT_VERSIONS will be
honored.
20230111:
AUTHOR: vishwin@FreeBSD.org
USE_PYTHON=pep517 has been added to facilitate building using the
new format.
USE_PYTHON=pep517 takes no arguments. Operation is similar to
USE_PYTHON=distutils, although the build backend specified in
pyproject.toml shall be specified in BUILD_DEPENDS.
A usage guide and implementation primer is available at:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/PEP-517
20221217:
AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org
USES=llvm has been added to more easily depend on llvm.
USES=llvm supports two kinds of arguments:
* mode
<none>: defaults to build
build: add a BUILD_DEPENDS on chosen llvm-port
run: add a RUN_DEPENDS on chosen llvm-port
lib: add a LIB_DEPENDS on chosen llvm-port
* version
<none>: defaults to ${LLVM_DEFAULT}
number: use explicitly the specified version
min=number: use specified min if ${LLVM_DEFAULT} is lower
max=number: use specified max if ${LLVM_DEFAULT} is higher
An example usage might be:
USES= llvm
or
USES= llvm:13,build
or
USES= llvm:min=14,lib
The following variables are exposed to be used in the ports tree at the moment:
* LLVM_VERSION version chosen from the arguments to llvm.mk
* LLVM_PORT chosen llvm port
* LLVM_CONFIG llvm-config of the chosen port
* LLVM_LIBLLVM libLLVM.so of the chosen port
* LLVM_PREFIX installation prefix of the chosen port
20221026:
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
3 new features are available now: PIE, RELRO, BIND_NOW, each port can
specify the inability to support any via <feature>_UNSAFE
All 3 are off by default, the intent is to activate following the freebsd
base activation of the same features.
End users can activate/deactivate globally via WITH_/WITHOUT_ <feature>
20221014:
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
USES=luajit has been added to support a unified luajit version. The
default here is luajit-devel, which should be the right version for
nearly everybody.
luajit-openresty is a drop-in replacement for anything that luajit-devel
works in, though not necessarily the other way around. If a program uses
the openresty-specific API then you will need USES=luajit:luajit-openresty.
The standard USES for most ports:
USES=luajit
For anything that requires the openresty API:
USES=luajit:luajit-openresty
20220911:

kde.mk, qt.mk and pyqt.mk now use a colon for component suffixes
Suffixes for build, run and test (for pyqt) dependencies used an underscore

USE_QT= buildtools_build
replace it with

Ports using USES=php:phpize, php:ext, php:zend, and php:pecl are now
flavored. They will automatically get flavors (php56, php70, php71, php72)
depending of the versions they support (set with IGNORE_WITH_PHP). As a
consequence, ports using USES=pear and USES=horde are also flavored.
As all packages must have different package names, the following variables
must be used in PKGNAMEPREFIX/SUFFIX:
Variable + Values +
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56- php72- | PHP Extensions
| | and modules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP_PKGNAMESUFFIX | -php56 -php72 | PHP Applications
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PECL_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pecl- | PECL extensions
| | automatic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEAR_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pear- | PEAR modules
| | without PEAR_CHANNEL
PEAR_<channel>_PKGNAMEPREFIX | php56-pear-channel- | with PEAR_CHANNEL
| | automatic
In all the ports with PHP dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST end with
the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use. This is done by
appending '@${PHP_FLAVOR}' after the origin. For example:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${PEAR_PKGNAMEPREFIX}Validate>=0.5.0:devel/pear-Validate@${PHP_FLAVOR} \
${PECL_PKGNAMEPREFIX}smbclient>=0.8.0:net/pecl-smbclient@${PHP_FLAVOR} \
PHP applications (for example, www/wordpress) can also get flavors, add the
flavors keyword to USES=php, for example: USES=php:flavors, and add
${PHP_PKGNAMESUFFIX} to its PKGNAMESUFFIX.

USES=cmake now supports two additional list variables:

For example ports that previously set
CMAKE_ARGS= -DVAR1:BOOL=TRUE -DVAR2:BOOL=TRUE -DVAR3:BOOL=FALSE

CMAKE_ON= VAR1 VAR2
CMAKE_OFF= VAR3

Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored. They will automatically
get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what versions they support.
There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils but
need FLAVORS to be set. A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if the port is
using distutils but flavors are not wanted.
A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been added
to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python PKGNAMEPREFIX but are
flavored.
USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the current
python flavor. It can be used in dependency lines when the port itself is
not python flavored, for example, deskutils/calibre.
By default it will only generate flavors for the versions in PYTHON2_DEFAULT
and PYTHON3_DEFAULT. Define BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS in your make.conf to
generate all possible flavors. A port can set USE_PYTHON=allflavors to have
all the flavors and not simply the default ones.
In all the ports with Python dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST end
with the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use. This is done
by appending '@${PY_FLAVOR}' after the origin. For example:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}six>0:devel/py-six@${PY_FLAVOR}
20171130:

To help with flavored ports, helpers are available. In these, replace <*>

*_PKGNAMEPREFIX *_PKGNAMESUFFIX *_PLIST *_DESCR will overwrite the variable.
*_CONFLICTS *_CONFLICTS_BUILD *_CONFLICTS_INSTALL *_PKG_DEPENDS
*_EXTRACT_DEPENDS *_PATCH_DEPENDS *_FETCH_DEPENDS *_BUILD_DEPENDS
*_LIB_DEPENDS *_RUN_DEPENDS *_TEST_DEPENDS will append to the variable.
For example:
flavor2_PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
can replace:
.if ${FLAVOR:U} == flavor2
PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
.endif
20171130:
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Flavors are a way to have multiple variations of a port. The port is built
multiple times, with the variations. To declare flavors, set the FLAVORS
variable to the flavors you want defined. The first flavor will be the
default:
FLAVORS= flavor1 flavor2
The flavors MUST be lowercase, and can contain [[:lower:][:digit:]_].
Then, when building the port, pass the FLAVOR as an argument after make to
select the flavor.
$ make install FLAVOR=flavor2
In the port, you can then change the behavior depending on the value of the
FLAVOR variable. Note that the different flavors MUST have different
PKGNAMEs. Be sure to guard against an empty FLAVOR variable by using
${FLAVOR:U}:
.if ${FLAVOR:U} == flavor2
PKGNAMESUFFIX= -foo
OPTIONS_DEFAULT+= FOO
.endif

* Qt 4's binaries have been moved to lib/qt4/bin to match what is already done
to Qt 5's binaries. Since these binaries are no longer in ${LOCALBASE}/bin,
they also do not have the -qt4 suffix in their names any more.
* Consequently, there are no Qt 4 or Qt 5 binaries in the default $PATH, and
misc/qtchooser is now used to select the actual Qt binaries. In other
words, calling "qmake" or "moc" now goes through qtchooser, which prefers
Qt 5 binaries by default.
The ports framework handles this automatically. The UPDATING entry covers
this in more detail.
* Qt 5.7.1 requires a C++11-capable compiler to be used. qmake and CMake pass
the appropriate flags to the compiler (such as -std=c++11) automatically,
but if your port fetches Qt's build flags via pkg-config (which can be the

manually by setting USE_CXXSTD in your Makefile:
USE_CXXSTD= c++11
