Log message:
Bump BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED of textproc/expat to 2.0.0 because
of the shlib major bump.
PKGREVISION++ for the dependencies.

Log message:
update to 20050820 snapshot.

Major changes since the last snapshot:

- gsch2pcb updated to work with latest pcb
- pcb library directories default to something sane for gsch2pcb
- grenum utility for refdes renumbering added
- add a few new symbols
- added -p option to autoplace the windows.  Useful for scripting.
- gattrib can now change attribute visibility
- improvements to the spice-sdb netlist backend
- added support for printing pictures in schematics to postscript
- added german translation
- fixed a segfault in the geda manager.

Log message:
Remove the abuse of buildlink that was pkg-config/buildlink3.mk.  That
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables.  Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.

For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.

Log message:
Change path from devel/pkgconfig to devel/pkg-config.
No PKGREVISION bump since pkg-config is only a BUILD_DEPENDS.

Log message:
Get rid of USE_PERL5.  The new way to express needing the Perl executable
around at either build-time or at run-time is:

	USE_TOOLS+=	perl		# build-time
	USE_TOOLS+=	perl:run	# run-time

Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.

Log message:
Remove USE_BUILDLINK3 and NO_BUILDLINK; these are no longer used.

   Changes
     _________________________________________________________________

   general

     * Lots  and  lots  and  lots  of  code cleanup, refactoring, and bug
       fixing  by  Patrick  Bernaud, Stuart Brorson, Carlos Nieves Onega,
       Werner  Hoch,  and  Dan  McMahill.  This  applies  to all parts of
       gEDA/gaf.  The  amount  of  cleanup is quite staggering, so please
       look  at  the various ChangeLogs for more info. Many thanks to all
       who lent a hand in this rather difficult task!

   libgeda

     * Shared library version number now at 23.
     * Carlos  added  proper  unicode  support  to libgeda. Schematic and
       symbol  files  can now have unicode characters in them and as long
       as  there  is a font definition file for them, the characters will
       appear  in  gschem.  This  was  the  last  piece  for  making  the
       transition  over  to  gtk+ 2.2.x. Patrick did some misc cleanup on
       the unicode support as well.
     * Patrick  rewrote  the  logging  mechanism  to  use  GLib's message
       logging.
     * Carlos  added picture support to libgeda. This allows users to put
       pictures  in various formats into schematics. Pictures are not yet
       rendered  in  postscript  or  png  files.  This  feature  will  be
       completed in a subsequent release.
     * Dan added electric fence support to all configure scripts.
     * Dan  squashed  a  whole  bunch  of gcc warnings as well turning on
       -Wall by default to further point out developer laziness. :)
     * Patrick   rewrote  the  all  guile  code  to  use  the  1.6.x  scm
       interfaces.  Dan and Carlos did some minor touch up to catch other
       missed deprecated guile interfaces.
     * Patrick rewrote the component library code to be sane.
     * Stuart  added  code  to  read in rc files when a schematic file is
       loaded  from  a  foreign  directory.  This allows users to open up
       schematics that have local symbols.
     * Stuart  add  code  for  of  a  component  placeholder  for  when a
       component  cannot find its symbol file. This was extended a little
       to  draw  a  graphic informing the user which component is missing
       its symbol file.
     * Fixed  the symversion= code handling to deal with the case when no
       other  attributes are attached to the component. In the past, this
       scenario was simply ignored.
     * Added  code  (temporarily  till  the  bug  is  fixed) which forces
       libgeda  to  output the vector font when rendering multi-line text
       items.  This behavior can be controlled via the gschem rc keyword:
       output-vector-threshold

   gschem

     * Werner  Hoch  completely rewrote the Attributes/Autonumber Text...
       dialog  box. This new dialog boxes fixes some of the past problems
       and  hopefully  will satisfy more users given that it has far more
       capability than the last dialog box.
     * Patrick completely rewrote the multi attribute dialog box. This is
       a  significant  change which really improves the usability of this
       dialog  box.  Other  than  just being a major visible improvement,
       there  are  other  features:  you  right  click  on the attributes
       themselves   to  Delete  or  Duplicate  them  and  you  can  enter
       multi-line attributes by hitting Control-Enter instead of enter.
     * Bert Timmerman contributed an updated Dutch translation.
     * Iznogood contributed the first versions of the French translation.
     * Carlos added the first versions of the Spanish translation.
     * Carlos  went  through  all the code and gave them all stock pretty
       stock icons.
     * Patrick completely rewrote the page manager to be sane.
     * Stuart  improved  the  right mouse button pop up menu to include a
       few more commonly used options.
     * Handsom  Greg  supplied  a  patch to allow gEDA/gaf to build using
       gtk+ 2.6.x.
     * Patrick  removed  any  limitations  on  number  of  files  in  the
       component library code.
     * Part  of  Stuart's  work  on  reading  in  rc  files  in different
       directories, system-commonrc was renamed to system-gafrc.
     * Patrick  rewrote  most of the code for the line type and fill type
       dialog boxes. They can now be used for multiple objects.

   gnetlist

     * Carlos  modified  the bom, bom2, drc2, and redac backends to write
       to stdout if a "-" is specified using the -o flag.
     * Dan  added  several  guile  functions  to deal with target netlist
       refdes   requirements   which   may   be   more  restrictive  than
       gschem/gnetlist.  Dan  also  updated  his  futurenet2,  pads,  and
       switcap backends to use these new functions.
     * Carlos   improved   his  drc2  backend  to  check  for  duplicated
       references as well as properly return exit codes to allow gnetlist
       to be used in Makefiles easily.
     * Carlos added several functions for use in the DRC backend.

   gattrib

     * Stuart made a bunch of bug fixes and improvements including:
     * Added a pop-up window if a component is found with no symbol file.
     * Fixed a bug where only one page of design was searched for missing
       attribs.
     * Fixed bug where pre-existing attribs were deleted instead of being
       replaced.
     * Added support for slotted components.

   gsymcheck

     * Carlos added a check of the pintype attribute value.
     * No  other  significant  changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
       updating.

   symbols

     * Carlos  and  Patrick  made  the  necessary changes support unicode
       characters  in gEDA/gaf. Wojciech Kazubski also contributed Polish
       font definitions.
     * Stuart added a bunch of SPICE symbols.
     * Werner  Hoch did a considerable amount of fixing of various broken
       symbols. Many thanks.

   geda (gManager)

     * Applied segfault patch by Werner Hoch.
     * Added updated Italian translation by Marco Colombo.
     * No  other  significant  changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
       updating.

   utils

     * Stuart  added  additional  printfs  to  gsch2pcb  during directory
       search when using the -v -v flags.
     * No  other  significant  changes except a bunch of code cleanup and
       updating.

   docs

     * The gsch2pcb tutorial was updated to the latest version.
     * Carlos  updated  the  file  format  document  to  describe the new
       picture object.

   examples

     * Stuart updated some of the schematics in the RF_Amp example.

   For more a detailed changes, please look in the appropriate ChangeLogs
   in the source tarballs.

Log message:
Add RMD160 digests in addition to SHA1 ones.

   Changes
     _________________________________________________________________

   libgeda

     * Shared library version number now at 22.
     * Added  a  new  attribute:  symversion= and associated mechanism to
       libgeda.
          + The symversion= mechanism allows symbols to be versioned with
            a  major  and  minor  number. An example of this attribute is
            symversion=1.0
          + This symversion= attribute is typically found in symbol files
            at  first,  but  it  will be promoted if it is found when the
            symbol is read in from disk.
          + The  symversion=  attribute  is  an  auto-prompted attribute,
            which  if  present in a symbol will always be promoted to the
            schematic.
          + If the major number of the symversion= attributes (the one in
            the symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match, then
            a serious warning message is issued.
          + When  a user changes a symbol file in a major or incompatible
            way   (translation,   addition/removal   of   pins/attributes
            etc...),  the major number of the symversion= attribute value
            should be incremented by one.
          + For minor changes, primarily cosmetic changes, only the minor
            number  of the symversion= attribute value should incremented
            by one.
          + If  the minor number of the symversision= attributes (the one
            in  the  symbol and the one in the schematic) does not match,
            then a minor warning message is issued.
          + The  default value is 0.0 even if no symversion= attribute is
            present.
     * Fixed  the  randomly  colored  midpoint postscript bug reported by
       Gabriel  Paubert.  Also  removed  some  redundant  code related to
       postscript printing.
     * Moved  a whole bunch of rc routines from gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck
       into libgeda. This makes using the common rc code much easier.
     * Added  the  --with-rcdir  ./configure  flag  to  libgeda. This was
       required   because  of  the  above  rc  code  refactor.  You  must
       ./configure  libgeda  with  this flag if you intend to move the rc
       files  to  a  different directory. Be sure to put this flag on all
       programs (gschem/gnetlist/gsymcheck/gattrib etc...) if you want to
       move the rc files.
     * Part  of  the  above  rc code refactor was to add an additional rc
       file:  gafrc.  The  gafrc  file is read in last after all other rc
       files  are  read in. Only common rc keywords can be put inside the
       gafrc file, including:
          + component-library
          + component-library-search
          + source-library
          + source-library-search
          + world-size
          + reset-component-library
          + reset-source-library
          + default-series-name
          + untitled-name
          + scheme-directory
          + bitmap-directory
          + font-directory
          + bus-ripper-symname
       Now  you  do not have to create a gschemrc, gnetlistrc, gattribrc,
       gschlasrc   etc...   if  you  are  just  adding  custom  component
       libraries.  Just  create a gafrc file and put the library lines in
       there.
     * Added  a  bunch  of  init function to libgeda_init() to make using
       libgeda a little easier.

   gschem

     * Added  a  dialog  box  which pops up when a schematic is loaded up
       which  has  components  which have changed in a major or minor way
       (based  on  the  new symversion= attribute). See above the libgeda
       section for a description of the new symversion= attribute and its
       usage.
     * Hopefully  finally  fixed  the  broken postscript problem when the
       locale uses commas instead of periods. Original fix by Bill Wilson
       and patch by Andreas Fester.
     * Fixed  a  gschem  crash when certain components (depending on what
       was  connected  to  them)  were being updated. I have also started
       working  on  fixing  Edit/Component Update... to be more sane (and
       not  cause  duplicated  attached  attributes).  This  work  is not
       complete,  and  for now, Edit/Component/Update... will still cause
       duplicate attributes.
     * Fixed  some visual garbage/corruption in the preview window in the
       file selection and component place dialog boxes.
     * Added  a new rc keyword "grid-dot-size" which lets you control the
       size of the grid dots. Handy if the dots are too small to see.
     * Applied  the  scroll  wheel  pan patch by Sascha Silbe. The scroll
       wheel pans the display vertically and holding down the control key
       and moving the wheel the will scroll the display horizontally.
     * Added  a  modal  "Are  you  sure?" dialog box to page revert. This
       should  prevent  accidental page reverts (cause work losses). This
       dialog box is only implemented for gtk+ 2.x
     * Added an Italian translation by Petrecca Michele.
     * Added  the  comment  and  symversion  attribute  to  the attribute
       pulldown list in the Add/Attribute dialog box.
     * Updated gschem with the newly refactored rc code.

   gnetlist

     * Stuart  implemented  a whole slew of improvements to the spice-sdb
       backend.
     * Stuart  added  several  functions  to  passing the command line to
       scheme backends.
     * Removed  gschem2pcb  as  an  installed  program.  gsch2pcb  is the
       preferred tool for going from schematic to PCB.
     * Applied a bugfix patch to the cascade backend by Dan McMahill.
     * Integrated  the  initial  version  of  a  SystemC backend by Jaume
       Masip.
     * Integrated  a  new  scheme  backend for Eagle PCB. The backend was
       written by Braddock Gaskill.
     * Updated gnetlist with the newly refactored rc code.

   gattrib

     * Integrated   Stuart   Brorson's  attribute  editor:  gattrib  into
       gEDA/gaf.  This  is  the  first  gEDA/gaf  release  that  includes
       gattrib.
     * Here's a description of gattrib:
        Gattrib is gEDA's attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch
            files  (schematic  files),  and creates a spreadsheet showing
            all   components  in  rows,  with  the  associated  component
            attributes  listed in the columns. It allows the user to add,
            modify, or delete component attributes outside of gschem, and
            then  save  the .sch files back out. When it is completed, it
            will   allow   the   user  to  edit  attributes  attached  to
            components,   nets,  and  pins.  (Currently,  only  component
            attribute   editing   is   implemented;  pin  attributes  are
            displayed only, and net attributes are TBD.)

   gsymcheck

     * Integrated  a  patch  by Jim Duchek which adds several more useful
       tests to gsymcheck.
     * Updated gsymcheck with the newly refactored rc code.

   symbols

     * Redrew  the following symbols and set the symversion= attribute to
       1.0:
        4000/4002-1.sym  4000/40107-1.sym 4000/4011-1.sym 4000/4012-1.sym
            4000/4023-1.sym        4000/4025-1.sym        4000/4030-1.sym
            4000/4068-1.sym        4000/4070-1.sym        4000/4072-1.sym
            4000/4073-1.sym        4000/4075-1.sym        4000/4078-1.sym
            4000/4081-1.sym 4000/4082-1.sym 4000/4085-1.sym:
       If  you  have any of these symbols in any existing schematics, you
       should get a warning that major changes have occurred when you run
       gschem or gnetlist.
     * Added  over ~100 user contributed symbols to the various component
       libraries. Created 5 new component libraries: minicircuits st apex
       allegro irf
     * Moved  the  local component library to the beginning of the search
       order.
     * Updated Peter Kaiser's asic library with the latest set of symbol.
       Added  Peter's  asic  pad  symbols  into the new asicpads library.
       Commented  in  the  asic  library  now  that  the symbol names are
       unique.
     * Werner Hoch has fixed a whole slew of symbols in various component
       libraries (74, 4000, and memory). Thanks Werner!

   geda (gManager)

     * Piotr Miarecki added graphman, a new tool for managing graphs.
     * Piotr update gManager to build with gtk+ 2.2.x
     * Integrated  a  French  and  Italian  translation.  Not sure if the
       translations are work yet.

   utils

     * Added symbol cleanup (gsymfix.pl) script by Mike Skerritt.
     * Updated gschlas with the newly refactored rc code.

   docs

     * attributes and symbols documents: Added information and details on
       the symversion= attribute
     * toplevel  doc  page:  Added  links  to  SystemC  and Eagle backend
       READMEs.
