Updating Information for FreeBSD ports developers
This file is maintained by [email protected] 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.
20221026:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
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: [email protected]
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:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
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
previously. This was not in line with most other USES, using a colon for
that purpose.
So if you previously had for example
USE_QT= buildtools_build
replace it with
USE_QT= buildtools:build
20220907:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The convention of a WWW: line at the end of each port's pkg-descr file
has been changed to a WWW= definition in the port's Makefile. All ports
have been converted to follow this new scheme.
The portlint and portfmt ports will be updated, but may erroneously flag
the new convention as incorrect until the new versions have been installed.
20220826:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new Uses for 'vala' has been added.
To depend on libvala, use
USES=vala:lib
to only add a build-time dependency, use
USES=vala:build
20220821:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
qt.mk now supports both Qt 5 and Qt 6.
To make use of Qt6 write:
USES=qt:6
USE_QT=list of Qt6 components
Please take a look at qt.mk to see the available components.
20220722:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
'Created by' are being removed from the ports makefiles.
Created by lines have historically been used to attribute contributions
to the original creators of the ports. However, those might no longer
be contributing to the port
20220430:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added to handle dependency on gstreamer.
Instead of writing
USE_GSTREAMER1=[list of components]
you now have to write
USES=gstreamer
USE_GSTREAMER=[list of components]
If your port previously set just
USE_GSTREAMER=yes
this now is simply
USES=gstreamer
20220415:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added to handle testing with pytest.
USES= pytest
Introduces dependency on pytest and adds do-test target which calls
pytest with the right environment and arguments.
Additionally, PYTEST_{IGNORED,BROKEN}_TESTS knobs are provided for
skipping failing tests in a convenient and documented way.
20220218:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added to change an ELF binary's feature control note.
USES= elfctl
ELF_FEATURES= +noaslr,wxneeded:foo \
-noprotmax:foo \
+nostackgap:bar
Turns on noaslr and wxneeded and turns off noprotmax for the ELF
binary foo and turns on nostackgap for the ELF binary bar.
The file paths listed in ELF_FEATURES are relative to ${BUILD_WRKSRC}.
File modifications are made post-build as certain test targets may run on
the build-tree binaries.
20220127:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
PyQt modules have been merged into devel/py-qt5-pyqt.
This allows us to simplify PyQt framework and to be in adequacy with the
packages that the author of these libraries proposes, namely:
* PyQt - devel/py-qt5-pyqt
* PyQt-Charts - x11-toolkits/py-qt5-chart
* PyQt-NetworkAuth – net/py-qt5-networkauth
* PyQt-WebEngine – www/py-qt5-webengine
* SIP – devel/py-sip
* py-sip - devel/py-qt5-sip
* PyQt-builder - devel/py-qtbuilder
* Qscintilla - devel/py-qt5-qscintilla2
Ports depending on PyQt, must be declared with USE_PYQT=pyqt5 instead of
USE_PYQT=core gui svg etc.
20220117:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
Standalone USE_GL, USE_GNOME, USE_MATE, USE_PHP, USE_SDL,
USE_XORG have been deprecated for a while. For migration
purposes the framework automatically loaded the corresponding
USES={gl,gnome,mate,php,sdl,xorg} with a warning. The migration
period is now over and you must add the USES manually for USE_*
to have any effect.
20220111:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The CPU_AND, CPU_ANDNOT, CPU_OR, and CPU_XOR macros in 14-CURRENT
and 13-STABLE after this date have been made compatible with GLIBC
conventions. Specifically, they now take 3 arguments instead of 2.
Ports can check whether the CPU_ALLOC macro is defined and then
use the 3 parameter form, e.g.:
#ifdef CPU_ALLOC
CPU_AND(dst, dst, src);
#else
CPU_AND(dst, src);
#endif
20211211:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added to depend on ImageMagick.
USES=magick
adds a LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/ImageMagick${IMAGEMAGICK_DEFAULT}.
If a specific version is required, use for example
USES=magick:6 resp. USES=magick:7
If only a build, run or test is required, use for example
USES=magick:build resp. USES=magick:6,build,test
If a dependency on the nox11 flavor is required, use for example
USES=magick:nox11 resp. USES=magick:7,nox11,run,test
See magick.mk for more details on the available flags.
20211122:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The default compression for INDEX file as fetch via make fetchindex has
switched from .bz2 to .xz (.zst is also available).
The .bz2 format is still available but is considered deprecated and may
be removed in the future.
20211010:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
INSTALLS_ICONS has been replace by a trigger on gtk-update-icon-cache.
the macro does nothing anymore.
20211010:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added, to simplify the integration of triggers in
the ports tree.
20210801:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL is removed now that OpenLDAP is always built with
SASL support.
20210730:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
A new USES has been added to depend on the mlt multimedia framework.
Ports that depend on mlt should now use USES=mlt:<version> to specify
their dependency.
At the moment the supported version is 6, but will be extended to also
allow for selection of mlt 7 shortly.
20210604:
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The prepare-commit-msg hook was enhanced to auto-fill the first line of the
commit with the category/port in case only one port was committed to.

New default version for librsvg2.
Current versions of graphics/librsvg2 are using parts written in rust.
For architectures that do not have support for rust, and for people
who prefer not to have, or are not able to compile rust software due
to hardware limitations, the version can be chosen via this new flag.
The default on almost all architectures is rust.
If you prefer no to use rust, add the following to your make.conf:

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.

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}

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

*_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

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
case for autotools-based ports), you might need to take care of this
manually by setting USE_CXXSTD in your Makefile:
USE_CXXSTD= c++11

A new EXTRA_PATCH_TREE has been added. Points to a directory hierarchy with

From time to time, the values are too generic, and they get in the way of

For example, in lang/perl5*, there is PERL_ARCH=mach, which will get replaced
in paths if a file is called, say "machine", will end up being
"%%PERL_ARCH%%ine". Adding PERL_ARCH_regex="\bmach\b" will ensure only full
