pkg.use-bootstrap can now be set to true to add a bootstrap phase to
cross-builds. I.e. the package is built for the native platform and
installed to a temporary location, which is in the PATH during the
actual cross-compilation. This feature is useful for some misbehaving
ports that can cross-compile, but require the exact same version of the
software installed locally. The bootstrap build is controlled with the
bootstrap.foo variables rather than the normal pkg.foo variables.
pkg.source-package can now be set to the name of another package, whose
source code is built using the current tixbuildinfo. This feature allows
providing multiple packages using the same source code package. By
default, the source code of the source package is assumed to be in
../${pkg.source-package}, but this can be overridden with the option
--source-directory.
pkg.alias-of can now be set to the name of another package to specify
that this package is an alias of the other package, creating an empty
binary package depending on the real package.
pkg.subdir support has been fixed in the clean and post-install phases.
pkg-config support has been improved and PKG_CONFIG is now set to
$HOST-pkg-config and PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD is set to pkg-config.
tix-build has been refactored as needed and generally cleaned up. Error
handling, such as on allocations, have been added in a lot of cases. The
support for FOO_FOR_BUILD variables have been unified and simplified.
Appending to PATH now correctly handles the empty PATH.
tix-build recorded the owner and group as the user building the package,
rather than setting the owner and group to user 0 (root).
tix-install tried to chown extracted files as the owner and group in the
archive, rather than the current user. It also applied the current umask
rather than restoring the same permissions.
This removes the ability to override standard shell utilities using
environment variables. The standard names are invoked unconditionally and
can be overridden using the standard approach of adding replacements to the
PATH. Additionally environment variables like PREFIX and HOST are no longer
honored as defaults for the --prefix and --host options. These features are
removed because they've never been used and cause more trouble than they
are worth.
The tix collection option now defaults to the root directory to simplify
common invocations. The tix-build prefix also now defaults to the empty
prefix.
Support installing multiple packages at once with tix-install.
Tighten file and directory creation modes while here.
Add --generation for forward compatibility.
Silence tix-collection creation.
Fix uninitialized getline invocations.
Fix porttix-create buffer overflow.
Options and escape sequences are fatally incompatible with historic echo
that has no room for such extensions. Instead they pose risk because it is
harder to use echo on unvalidated input safely and because any further
extensions potentially break existing scripts. Use printf(1) instead.
