Hello all,

It will be great if I can get more people to help test with
libtool/libltdl 2.2 before the freeze. It already has been tested in
pointyhat-exp last week, we have fixed almost all of error logs. Only
three ports have been marked as BROKEN is x11-wm/ion-2, audio/ccaudio and
lang/ccscript. If anyone want to fix those, feel free to or those will be
remove if nobody fix it in a few months. I have sent an email to pav for
request another run in pointyhat-exp. However, to test libtool/libltdl,
you will need to checkout ports-stable module from MarcusCom CVS.

1) See document: http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ ...

2) Checkout ports tree by cvsup, csup, or whatever by your choice.

3) fetch http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/marcusmerge script, then run
'sh marcusmerge -m ports-stable' and the password is 'anoncvs'.

4) You must run devel/libtool22/files/libtool22_hack.sh first before you
try to install anything in ports tree. The libtool22_hack.sh will edit all
ports/*/*/Makefile* to change libtool:15 -> libtool:22, devel/libtool15 ->
devel/libtool22 and etc. If you need to create INDEX then you need to edit
devel/Makefile by change lib*15 -> lib*22.

5) Reinstall everything that depend on libltdl due to shared library
version bump, do this (untest):

portmaster -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
portmaster -r libltdl\*

I believe that it's same way for portupgrade.


If there is anything that behave change after this upgrade, let me know
and I will try to fix it. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mezz

Below is the tentative schedule for the ports freeze in preparation for
8.0-RELEASE.  If any major delays occur in the overall release schedule,
the dates may be postponed, but please start preparing to have your
changed committed to the tree before August 17 to ensure they are
included in the release.  Also, portmgr kindly asks anyone who has
anything major lined up to already from today start mailing portmgr
about these so we know what to expect and not be surprised by any major
fallout that might extend the short freeze we have planned.

August 17: ports tree is frozen and package build begin
August 24: ports tree is thawed and final package builds begin
August 31: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE is released and ports tree is unfrozen
