mini_portile

2.8.6 / 2024-04-14

Added

• When using CMake on FreeBSD, default to clang's "cc" and "c++" compilers. (#139 by @mudge)

2.8.5 / 2023-10-22

Added

• New methods #lib_path and #include_path which point at the installed directories under ports. (by @flavorjones)
• Add config param for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, which now defaults to Release. (#136 by @Watson1978)

Experimental

Introduce experimental support for MiniPortile#mkmf_config which sets up MakeMakefile variables to properly link against the recipe. This should make it easier for C extensions to package third-party libraries. (by @flavorjones)

• With no arguments, will set up just $INCFLAGS, $libs, and $LIBPATH.
• Optionally, if provided a pkg-config file, will use that config to more precisely set $INCFLAGS, $libs, $LIBPATH, and $CFLAGS/$CXXFLAGS.
• Optionally, if provided the name of a static archive, will rewrite linker flags to ensure correct linkage.

Note that the behavior may change slightly before official support is announced. Please comment on #118 if you have feedback.

2.8.4 / 2023-07-18

• cmake: set CMAKE compile flags to configure cross-compilation similarly to autotools --host flag: SYSTEM_NAME, SYSTEM_PROCESSOR, C_COMPILER, and CXX_COMPILER. [#130] (Thanks, @stanhu!)

2.8.3 / 2023-07-18

Fixed

• cmake: only use MSYS/NMake generators when available. [#129] (Thanks, @stanhu!)

2.8.2 / 2023-04-30

Fixed

• Ensure that the source_directory option will work when given a Windows path to an autoconf directory. [#126]

2.8.1 / 2022-12-24

Fixed

• Support applying patches via git apply even when the working directory resembles a git directory. [#119] (Thanks, @h0tw1r3!)

2.8.0 / 2022-02-20

Added

• Support xz-compressed archives (recognized by an .xz file extension).
• When downloading a source archive, default open_timeout and read_timeout to 10 seconds, but allow configuration via open_timeout and read_timeout config parameters.

2.7.1 / 2021-10-20

Packaging

A test artifact that has been included in the gem was being flagged by some users' security scanners because it wasn't a real tarball. That artifact has been updated to be a real tarball. [#108]

2.7.0 / 2021-08-31

Added

The commands used for "make", "compile", and "cmake" are configurable via keyword arguments. [#107] (Thanks, @cosmo0920!)

2.6.1 / 2021-05-31

Dependencies

Make net-ftp an optional dependency, since requiring it as a hard dependency in v2.5.2 caused warnings to be emitted by Ruby 2.7 and earlier. A warning message is emitted if FTP functionality is called and net-ftp isn't available; this should only happen in Ruby 3.1 and later.

2.6.0 / 2021-05-31

Added

Recipes may build against a local directory by specifying source_directory instead of files. In
particular, this may be useful for debugging problems with the upstream dependency (e.g., use git bisect in a local clone) or for continuous integration with upstream HEAD.

2.5.3 / 2021-05-31

Make net-ftp an optional dependency, since requiring it as a hard dependency in v2.5.2 caused warnings to be emitted by Ruby 2.7 and earlier. A warning message is emitted if FTP functionality is called and net-ftp isn't available; this should only happen in Ruby 3.1 and later.

2.5.2 / 2021-05-28

Dependencies

Add net-ftp as an explicit dependency to accommodate the upcoming Ruby 3.1 changes that move this and other gems out of the "default" gem set and into the "bundled" gem set. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17873 [#101]

2.5.1 / 2021-04-28

Dependencies

This release ends support for ruby < 2.3.0. If you're on 2.2.x or earlier, we strongly suggest that you find the time to upgrade, because official support for Ruby 2.2 ended on 2018-03-31.

Enhancements

• MiniPortile.execute now takes an optional :env hash, which is merged into the environment variables for the subprocess. Likely this is only useful for specialized use cases. [#99]
• Experimental support for cmake-based projects extended to Windows. (Thanks, @larskanis!)

2.5.0 / 2020-02-24

Enhancements

• When verifying GPG signatures, remove all imported pubkeys from keyring [#90] (Thanks, @hanazuki!)

• Enhancements:
  • Add default cert store and custom certs from SSL_CERT_FILE if present.
    This increases compatibility with Ruby 1.8.7.
• Bugfixes:
  • Specify Accept-Encoding to make sure a raw file content is downloaded.
    Pull #30. [knu]
• Internal:
  • Improve examples and use them as test harness.

• Bugfixes:
  • Shell escape paths in tar command. Pull #29. [quickshiftin]
  • Support older versions of tar that cannot auto-detect
    the compression type. Pull #27. Closes #21. [b-dean]
  • Try RbConfig's CC before fall back to 'gcc'. Ref #28.

• Bugfixes:
  • Change tar detection order to support NetBSD 'gtar'. Closes #24
  • Trick 'git-apply' when applying patches on nested Git checkouts. [larskanis]
  • Respect ENV's MAKE before fallback to 'make'. [larskanis]
  • Respect ENV's CC variable before fallback to 'gcc'.
  • Avoid non-ASCII output of GCC cause host detection issues. Closes #22
