bsdadminscripts 2.1.4 - critical update to buildflags.mk

It has today come to my attention that some FreeBSD ports remember the -j flag from the configure stage and thus break during install, which causes package database corruption.

This update forces -j1 for install to solve this. Please update before installing cairo 1.4.8, if you use buildflags with SUBTHREADS.

bsdadminscripts 2.1 - vengance of the squirrel tribe

This release is the result of a lot of testing of the buildflags framework. The parser has been completely rewritten in awk, with the result that the syntax is still backwards compatible, but a lot more flexibal and the parser is about 15 times faster than the old .sh script.

bsdadminscripts 2.0 - fluffy squirrels

Yep, a new major release, introducing the script buildflags.mk, that offers you a syntax to set location dependend make flags.

This release also comes with man pages for rcstart (8), portconfig (8), buildflags.mk (8) and buildflags.conf (8).

monochrome release 1.1

Thanks to the massive help of George L. Yermulnik, bsdadminscripts now works on FreeBSD 4.

Apart from FreeBSD 4 support this release does not contain new functionality.

no OpenBSD support

For now it seems that Ports in OpenBSD differs from Ports in FreeBSD too far to try support it.

FreeBSD Ports

The scripts are now available through the FreeBSD Ports system.

green tea release

The 1.0 release is online. Functional changes are relatively small, since the prerelease was working quite well. Now the primary goal is to create a FreeBSD Port.

prerelease phase is about to end

There have been several downloads now and no feedback. Thus I assume that everything works fine and will soon put a FreeBSD port together.

It would be nice if there was a volunteer to port rcstart to NetBSD and one to port portconfig to OpenBSD.

project opened

I have been waiting for a mail confirming the acceptance of this little project for a couple of days. Today I just recognized that it has been accepted even though no notification has reached me.

The next step is to get the scripts on CVS, make a first snapshot and submit a new FreeBSD port.

I hope I'll also get some feedback from OpenBSD and NetBSD users to help me support several BSDs.
