patch for update

There is a new version. Official changelog isn't available, but there are many commits to repo from 1.7.
NOTE: Library name has been changed, so UPDATING entry should be added or portrevision bumped. Unfortunately, I don't know how to determine exact list of dependent ports including optional deps.
Tested build and ffmpeg linking on 10.2R amd64.

Thanks Anton,

You can grep the ports tree for x265 references, paying particular attention to those (but not necessarily 'only' those) that LIB_DEPENDS on it.

If you can update any references identified, and include those changes in your diff, that would be greatly appreciated

Committed. Thanks.

I have the upgrade to 1.9 complete, and am curious about the ABI incompatibility claimed in this earlier upgrade. How did you conclude, the ABIs are incompatible?

Was this determination based simply on the shared library's number, or something else? The number would go up again in 1.9 -- from 68 to 79, but I do not believe, a revision bump is warranted for all dependencies based merely on that.

Suggestions?

The number represents ABI stability promise by upstream. Most modern build systems like autotools or cmake embed it into SONAME via ld(1). After phasing out a.out support our ld.so(1) only supports tracking major version. However, a small number of ports have neither SONAME nor .so -> .so.MAJOR symlink. Those are "allowed" to crash after updates.

  # hypothetical scenario with no bump in ports r403038
  $ ffmpeg
  Shared object "libx265.so.59" not found, required by "libavcodec.so.56"

  $ readelf -d /usr/local/lib/libx265.so | fgrep SONAME
   0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libx265.so.68]

For more complex cases there're tools like devel/abi-compliance-checker e.g., symbols cannot be removed unless they're loaded on demand (dlopen + dlsym).

  # libx265.so.59 libx265.so.68 in libmap.conf(5)
  $ ffmpeg
  /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.56: Undefined symbol "x265_api_get_59"

A rather unfortunate state of affairs, I must say... A library version number could be bumped for two unrelated reasons: to signal addition of NEW functionality, to signal incompatible changes in OLD functionality. In the former cases there is no ABI incompatibility and the already compiled binaries can start use the new library -- but with only the major numbers there is no way to distinguish the two cases...


> Undefined symbol "x265_api_get_59"

Argh, yes, indeed. A deliberate attempt by the vendor to prevent usage of newer library with the older executables. From x265.h:

/* Force a link error in the case of linking against an incompatible API version.
 * Glue #defines exist to force correct macro expansion; the final output of the macro
 * is x265_api_get_##X265_BUILD (for purposes of dlopen). */
#define x265_api_glue1(x, y) x ## y
#define x265_api_glue2(x, y) x265_api_glue1(x, y)
#define x265_api_get x265_api_glue2(x265_api_get_, X265_BUILD)


I see the same x265_api_get_79 now in 1.9. I wonder, if the port should patch the sources to avoid this nonsense in the future?..

Replying to myself -- unfortunately, we can't do that -- there are some changes in the data-structures. Unlike, say, Apache project, who take care to only add fields at the ENDS, x265 developers are not concerned with compatibility...

I'll submit a new PR asking for an exp-run...
