Hi,

• Add LICENSE
• Add option NLS
• Bump PORTREVISION
Comment 1 Nathan 2018-08-26 21:46:52 UTC
+OPTIONS_DEFINE=		NLS
is a bit out-of-line of the other options
Comment 2 Samy Mahmoudi 2018-08-27 08:44:46 UTC
Indeed, two paragraphs are indented differently from the rest of the text. This is due to "NLS_CONFIGURE_ENABLE=" being too long to indent "nls" on the first level. I thought indenting the options on a second level would improve readability. We could also have reindented the whole text on this second level. 

Widescreen monitors are rampant. However, sticking to column limits may still be relevant:

• for the audience of users with non-widescreen/standard monitors
• in case of side-by-side diff
• in other cases of multiple panels per screen

What do you suggest for that Makefile ? And in general ?
Comment 3 Tobias Kortkamp freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-11-11 13:43:39 UTC
The indentation looks fine to me after applying the diff.

+NLS_USES=		gettext-runtime gettext-tools

This is equivalent to

NLS_USES=	gettext

The patch looks incomplete to me.  It either doesn't do much or is
missing changes to pkg-plist to stop installing the locale files.
Please confirm that it builds with with NLS=on and NLS=off in
Poudriere.
Comment 4 Tobias Kortkamp freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-01-21 08:57:37 UTC
Actually partially landed now without the NLS changes.

Thank you for pointing this out.

• While splitting gettext into gettext-runtime and gettext-tools clearly allows more control in general, it does not add much here. However, the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook now describes the more-concise-but-not-explicit gettext as being "deprecated": https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/uses-gettext.html

• As you mentioned, the patch was incomplete. I followed your advice and changed pkg-plist accordingly. I also made additional changes to drop gettext and intltool dependencies when NLS is off.

Kudos for making it work, but this is adds 8 new patches.  Is it really worth it? 
Do you plan to upstream the changes (assuming they are active)?

> Kudos for making it work, but this is adds 8 new patches.  Is it really worth it?
I dropped 7 patches with a post-patch definition and a for loop ;-)

More seriously, this NLS option was initially suggested by portlint while I was keeping all the compiz ports up-to-date. Thereafter, it seemed worth to me to offer option NLS for users who globally set NLS to off by adding OPTIONS_UNSET+=NLS to their make.conf, even though I am not one of these (I am a French native speaker).

> Do you plan to upstream the changes (assuming they are active)?
I do not because compiz is dead (to such a point that sources are currently fetched from the FreeBSD distribution cache). There is, however, a community around compiz-reloaded and I have already submitted changes to the build system to increase portability and eventually port compiz-reloaded to FreeBSD (https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core/merge_requests/121). I think they do not have the time to review my work, so I am seriously thinking to create a new port with the changes done within the FreeBSD port system and to resubmit the changes upstream, independently, in small chunks to ease in review.

So my goal is to port compiz-reloaded to FreeBSD. During that transition and before considering any drop, we need to keep the compiz ports in the ports tree, preferably in a clean state.

No activity in a year and this port needs end-of-life Python 2.7, so closing this PR.
