./x11/xview, OpenLook Toolkit meta-package

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.2.1nb3, Package name: xview-3.2.1nb3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

What Is XView
-------------
XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for
Workstations) is a user-interface toolkit to support interactive,
graphics-based applications running under the X Window System. XView
provides a set of pre-built, user-interface objects such as canvases,
scrollbars, menus, and control panels. The appearance and functionality
of these objects follow the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface (GUI)
specification. XView features an object-oriented style Application
Programmer's Interface (API) that is straightforward and easy to learn.

This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-package"
that depends on other XView packages. Its sole purpose is to require
dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the XView
stuff pulled in by the package dependency mechanism.

Note that fonts from fonts/font-sun-misc must be in your X server's font
path in order for any XView clients to be usable.


Required to run:
[x11/xview-clients] [x11/xview-lib] [x11/xview-config]

Required to build:
[pkgtools/cwrappers]

Log message:
xview*: mark generally BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM for 64-bit archs

These packages compile on various 64-bit architectures, but then
segfault at runtime. This is a known issue with this being legacy code.

Log message:
xview*: explicitly require font-sun-misc for correct operation

Without the expected fonts, fundamental graphical content like icons
goes missing, and the X server may fail to start, at that.

XXX I tested on NetBSD 9.2_STABLE amd64 and i386. On amd64, this
crashes the X server for me, while it works fine on i386. The package
was already marked not for Alpha, so that may be a clue that it's not
64-bit clean in general, though some of the original commentary about
Alpha sounded quite specific.

Log message:
* If PLIST_SRC is explicitly set to an empty value in a package Makefile,
  then automatically generate a PLIST that says "${PKGNAME} has no files".

* If PLIST_SRC and GENERATE_PLIST are not set in a package Makefile,
  and no PLIST files exist, then fail during the package build with
  PKG_FAIL_REASON.

* Remove "intentionally empty" PLISTs again.

Now, the easy way to say that a package installs no files is to just
add the following to the package Makefile:

	PLIST_SRC=	# empty

Log message:
Re-add "intentionally empty" PLISTs for meta-packages and other packages
that directly manipulate empty PLISTs.

Modify plist/plist.mk so that if the PLIST files are missing and no
GENERATE_PLIST is defined, then the package fails to build.

Log message:
Remove empty PLISTs from pkgsrc since revision 1.33 of plist/plist.mk
can handle packages having no PLIST files.
