- Description:
- The xxkb program is a keyboard layout switcher and indicator. Unlike the
programs that reload keyboard maps and use their own hot-keys, xxkb is a
simple GUI for XKB (X keyboard extension) and just sends commands to and
accepts events from XKB. That means that it will work with the existing
configuration of X11 server without any modifications.
Additional features include:
- Remembers the current layout in each application and switches to it
on window focus change
- Can put its own icon on an application window titlebar
- Allows to designate two main layouts from multi-layout keymaps
- Alternative layouts can be set separately for each application and
can be changed during run-time
- Supports custom actions for certain windows (e.g. ignore, set initial
active layout on application startup)
- Can be docked as a docklet or placed in the system tray

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these

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.

Two imake related changes:
1) Move -a from XMKMF command variable to a new XMKMF_ARGS variable.
For ports that don't need -a introduce USES=imake:notall.
This way ports no longer have to redefine XMKMF.
2) xmkmf -a runs imake with the flags in IMAKECPPFLAGS as extra arguments
to set CPP, CC and CXX. This creates the top Makefile, and then xmkmf
runs make Makefiles. This Makefiles target runs imake for each
subdirectory but these imake invocations did not have the flags from
IMAKECPPFLAGS so the resulting makefiles used the wrong C preprocessor
when clang is used (/usr/bin/cpp instead of /usr/local/bin/tradcpp).
Instead of letting xmkmf pass IMAKECPPFLAGS from the environment to
imake let imake handle IMAKECPPFLAGS itself just like it handles
IMAKEINCLUDE.
This exposed configure errors in x11-clocks/mouseclock and x11-wm/fvwm.

New USES imake to handle the dependency on imake.
This uses accept 'env' as an argument for ports that do use their own or a
different do-configure target.
Modify xmkmf so it accept IMAKECPPFLAGS as default flags for imake and pass it
to the called imake.
Modify xorg-cf-files (the FreeBSD.cf configuration file) to allow CppCmd to be
overwritten.
Pass CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd via command line to each call of imake via
IMAKECPPFLAGS
Pass IMAKE_DEFINE with the above arguments to MAKE_ARGS so that imake spawned
from Makefile generated by a previous
imake also inherit the defined CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd.
Make imake use devel/tradcpp all the time, so that when buidling with clang we
do not depend on gcc's cpp.
Make imake respect CC and CXX
Make imake respect USE_GCC (if set imake will use gcc's cpp).
While here:
- Remove a couple of indefinite articles from comments
- Trim headers
- Fix a couple of ports to build with clang or use: USE_GCC=any
- Fix a now useless redefinition of the extraction chain
- Fix a typo in japanese/Wnn7-lib bundled imake template definitions
- Fix some XMKMF execution with no env specified
- Use options helper in x11/xautolock to simplify the port |
