Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an annotated
context-free grammar into a deterministic LR or generalized LR (GLR) parser
employing LALR(1) parser tables. As an experimental feature, Bison can also
generate IELR(1) or canonical LR(1) parser tables. Once you are proficient with
Bison, you can use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those
used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.
Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought
to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should be able to
use Bison with little trouble. You need to be fluent in C or C++ programming in
order to use Bison. Java is also supported as an experimental feature.
===> The following configuration options are available for bison-3.8.2_2,1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
NLS=on: Native Language Support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
devel/bison: fix wrong dependency on readline
While the port claim a dependency on readline, it is actually never
linked to it.
While removing the dependency on readline encure via CONFIGURE_ENV
that readline never gets picked by accident.
Revealed by testing the new autodeps feature

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Revert "devel/bison: Update to 3.8.2"
This reverts commit 09a2196b7a5ad825caac29f37ef8233317a62855.
This wasn't approved by the maintainer and may require more testing.
@sunpoet: My apologies for not rebasing/rearranging the mailman commits.
devel/bison: Update to 3.8.2
While here, parallelize tests
- MAKE_ARGS lacks ${_MAKE_JOBS} <https://bugs.freebsd.org/259576>
- USES+=gmake because the test driver only parallelizes the 700 tests
with GNU make, but not with BSD make.
Replace bulky and dynamic Makefile.in patch by systematic edit.
Drop workaround for qemu-user-static hang after r517350
GSlice as used by qemu-user still aborts due to low RLIMIT_VMEM in an
emulated application but no longer hangs. While the behavior differs
from real hardware it matches the one from before r456518 that was
hardcoded as gl_cv_func_printf_enomem=no workaround.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them
Bump revision of all impacted ports

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17816
Remove libintl.so.9 compatibility link that was added in r374303 to
prevent massive PORTREVISION bumps. Bump dependent ports that have not
been bumped since.
Fix a long standing bug of lib/charset.alias being overwritten, modified, and
badly tracked by ports.
Make lib/charset.alias a file only provided by converters/libiconv
Create a new USES: charsetfix, that will modify in post patch the Makefile.in to
prevent a port from modifying/overwritting the charset.alias file during make
install.
Prevent devel/gettext from installing that files.
Fix a couple of ports that actually touch charset.alias during the build phase.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

A few more cleanups after recent events with bison
* lose the bison175 port, it's not needed for now and will
only confuse matters
* clean up devel/Makefile, modules, and MOVED appropriately
* take maintainership of the bison* ports
Approved by: portmgr
Clean up handling of locale directories at deinstall-time:
* Don't remove "system directories" (which were created by BSD.*.dist)
* Silently try to remove locale directories which we might have created
update devel/bison: add WITHOUT_NLS support
The patch allows bison to be compiled without gettext support,
for use when space is tight or the gettext dependency is not desired.
