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!
