New features with AN-2022-09-18:
With great sadness we report the death of schilytools main author and
long time maintainer Jörg Schilling (1955-03-27--2021-10-10). Jörg, we
miss you! After his passing, development has been picked up by a group
of volunteers who would like to keep the project alive and well. Our
goal is to carefully preserve the portability and compatibility of this
project while extending it to new platforms and implementing new tools
and features that fit the tool set.
As a part of the change in management, the schilytools project has moved
from Sourceforge to Codeberg. Please report bugs and send patches to
our bug tracker:
https://codeberg.org/schilytools/schilytools
or to our mailing list [email protected]:
https://mlists.in-berlin.de/mailman/listinfo/schilytools-mlists.in-berlin.de
If you have previously reported bugs to Jörg Schilling and they have not
been fixed, please report them again. We do not have access to Jörg's
private emails and do not know what you have reported.
UPDATING:
- FreeBSD: The default location for configuration files on FreeBSD
has been moved from /etc to be relative to INS_RBASE. Users are
advised to either move their configuration files or compile with
INS_RBASE=/ to restore the old behaviour.
- The distribution file is now generated using git-archive(1) and
is in pax format. The only pax extension used is a single pax
global header holding the git commit hash. Warnings like
tar: pax_global_header: typeflag 'g' not recognized,
converting to regular file
on extract can safely be ignored. The pax_global_header file can
safely be deleted. If errors persist, the header can be stripped
off by skipping the first 1024 bytes of the archive:
bunzip2 -c schily-????-??-??.tar.bz2 | dd skip=2 | tar xf -
DEPRECATED FEATURES:
- man2html: The man2html utility will be removed from schilytools
in a future release. Users who wish to continue using this
utility are advised to use Thomas Dickey's version instead.
https://dickey.his.com/scripts/man2html.html
NEW FEATURES:
- general: The schilytools are now maintained in a git repository
at https://codeberg.org/schilytools/schilytools.git. Artifacts
of Jörg's prior SCCS use such as SCCS ident strings remain; they
will likely be updated to use git's ident feature in the future.
- general: Explain how to contribute and update README
- general: Add list of contributors
- general: Add findlinks.sh, .gitignore, and (re)generate .links
The script scans the various MKLINKS files and generates
appropriate .gitignore files in each affected directory. At the
same time, these links are recorded in the .links file kept for
compatibility.
- general: Add hand-written .gitignore file in root directory.
This file holds ignored files that are not covered by the
findlinks.s script as well as generic patterns for build
artifacts.
- README.compile: dequadruplicate BUILD/COMPILE/INSTALL
Jörg originally hard-linked the same file to four names. As git
does not support hard links in repositories, remove two copies of
the file, leaving us with just README.compile.
- all: Misc spelling fixes
Submitted by Friedhelm Mehnert.
- all: Update E-Mail address and project URL in many places.
Jörg's old [email protected] address is defunct and so is his
postal address. As a part of an ongoing documentation cleanup,
these addresses have been replaced by our new project pages in
many locations.
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- man pages: work around buggy syntax highlighting by adding
\" " comments into various places.
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- DEFAULTS: Switch FreeBSD default link mode to dynamic
Dynamic link mode has been tested in the ports tree for over a
year and has worked without flaw so far.
- DEFAULTS: On FreeBSD, set INS_RBASE relative to INS_BASE
FreeBSD user applications are not supposed to put their
configuration files into /etc.
- RULES: Honor C++WOPTS
Fixing a previous oversight, C++ warning options are now applied
as intended.
- RULES: Do not warn about register in C++
The register keyword is deprecated in C++ and removed in C++17.
Unfortunately it is widely used all throughout the code base.
For now, avoid a slew of useless warnings by disabling this
warning where possible.
- RULES: Fix build on macOS 12.4
- RULES: Fix emacs TAGS generation
- RULES: add i386-openbsd-clang.rul
This should permit compilation on modern OpenBSD using clang as
the system compiler.
- autoconf: Work around clang bug in #pragma weak detection.
A clang compiler bug causing a crash in the configure test for
#pragma weak has been worked around, permitting use of weak
symbols when compiling with clang.
- bsh: Implement ^L support
Typing ^L in bsh will now clear the screen as already supported
in a number of other shells.
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- bsh: big cleanup of the man page bsh_de.1.
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- cdrecord: comment out abstract devices names
cdrecord.dfl used to define various abstract device names.
These can be confusing to the user as they are likely not to
match the actual device configuration present. We now comment
out these device names, leaving them as mere examples for the
user to reference.
Reported by Friedhelm Mehnert.
- cdrecord: Detriplicate LICENSE/COPYING/LIMITATIONS
Jörg originally hard-linked the same file to three names. As git
does not support hard links in repositories, remove two copies of
the file, leaving us with just LIMITATIONS.
- inc: Remove outdated MKLINKS script
The affected source files haven't been links in a long time.
- libmdigest: Add support for BLAKE2 digests
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- libmdigest: Prefer intrinsic for bswap_32 over inline assembly
This should improve performance slightly when compiling with gcc
on i386 targets.
- libmdigest: Work around clang bug in #pragma weak
- libstreamar: add missing LIB_ICONV
- mdigest: Add support for BLAKE2 digests
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
- mkisofs: No longer warn about Joliet being nonstandard.
With the 2019 revision of ECMA 119, Joliet has been added as an
annex to the standard. Hence, the warning about Joliet being
nonstandard is no longer appropriate. Neverthless, the warning
is kept in changed form as the recommendation to use Rockridge
in conjunction with Joliet is still sound.
Reported by Sam Trenholme.
- sccs: fix harmless wrong use of strlcpy()
- star: convert star_fat.c generation to MKLINKS
- star: fix wrong handling of pre-1970/post-2036 dates in gnutar
archives on platforms with sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long).
- sunpro: fix lots of warnings
- sunpro: remove lots dead code in Make/lib/vroot
This code can restored later if needed.
- sunpro: work around gcc 2.7.2 shortcomings
This pre-standard C++ compiler does not support extern "C"
qualified typedefs. Work around this shortcoming by placing the
typedef inside an extern "C" { ... } block.
- tests: fix arm64/aarch64 architecture confusion on OpenBSD
Submitted by Nico Sonack.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS:
- RULES: symbol versioning will be enabled for FreeBSD after
sufficient testing.
- man2html: The utility will be removed in a future version (see
DEPRECATED FEATURES).
- With the switch of Solaris from SysV man page sections to BSD man
page sections, a future version is planned to install man pages
according to BSD conventions instead of SysV conventions. This
affects the man pages makefiles(4), makerules(4), sttreamarchive(4),
changeset(4), sccsfile(4), sccschangeset(4), and star(4).
