Makeinfo versions greater 5 treat an @itemx that isn't preceeded by an @item
not as warning anymore but as error. The GCC version 4.7.2 that is used by
noux currently triggers this error multiple times. This commit adds a patch
to 'make prepare PKG="gcc"' that avoids the use of @itemx without preceeding
@item. As GCC versions greater than 4.8 should fix this problem by themselves
this should be seen as temporary quick fix.
ref #964
DosBox is DOS-Emulator which is mainly used for playing old
DOS games on POSIX systems and newer Windows versions.
This port of DosBox runs natively on Genode by using its
SDL backend. It is currently only works on x86_*.
Fixes#937.
The 'check_dev_tty()' function calls 'ttyname()', which calls the pthread
stub function 'pthread_main_np()', which prints a 'not implemented'
message. Calling 'check_dev_tty()' doesn't seem to be necessary, so this
patch removes the call.
Issue #815.
This patch splits the download of signatures from the download of the
archive to improve robustness. This way, signature files will be
downloaded even if the corresponding archive is already in place.
Issue #748
This patch makes the handling of failed integrity checks of 3rd-party
packages more robust. Previously, a once failed 'make prepare PKG=curl'
would not leave any trace of the verification state. Hence, a successive
attempt to perform the 'make prepare' step again succeeded even if the
signature check failed.
To solve this problem, the outcome of a successful signature check is
represented by a tag file called 'download/<archive-name>.verified'.
Because the rule for extracting the archive depends on the .verify tag
file, the extraction step is not performed until the signature check
succeeds.
Issue #748
In this version of the transition the Hip structure from Genode is reused,
@nfeskes seoul_libc_support is used for the string functions and the
nul/config.h is replaced by just using a constant value in the one place where
the file was needed.

Vancouver is now able to use the Intel 82576 device model from NUL to
give VMs access to the network via the nic_bridge service. In order to
integrate the device model, it had to be renamed to i82576 due to XML
limitations. This is done by a patch applied via the 'make prepare'
mechanism.
Although current network card models in Vancouver panic if they can't
get a MAC address, the OP_GET_MAC hostop now fails gracefully in the
case where no nic_drv or nic_bridge is available.
With this patch the make install target for Noux applications gets defined
in the 'NOUX_INSTALL_TARGET' make variable with 'install-strip' as default.
Fixes#503.
After this commit "make prepare" uses HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP where possible
fvor downloading third-party source codes. This prevents problems with
strict firewall rules where only selected ports are usable.
Unfortunately, git.l4android.org does not support Git via HTTP and,
therefore, the sources need a working Git port (9418).
Fixes#443.
Explanation why --disable-rpath-hack is needed:
When building on pistachio_x86 $(LDFLAGS) contains '-L[...]/l4/lib'
which will be transformed by autoconf to '-rpath [...]/l4/lib'.
Now the problem at hand is that we pretend to be FreeBSD when we are
actually not. So autoconf assumes it is valid to use '-path' when it
is actually not.
Also we use zlib for (de)compressing gzipped streams/files instead of
calling gzip as this currently somewhat buggy.
The port of lighttpd at 'ports/src/app/lighttpd' executes the web server
directly (w/o using Noux). It is accompanied by the lighttpd.run script.
At the current stage, lighttpd is starting up but fails because of an
unsupport fcntl call.
The bash configure script cannot detect if the 'getcwd()' function in
Genode's libc works correctly, so it assumes that it is broken and makes
bash use its own version of this function. With this patch bash uses the
libc version, which has a Noux-specific implementation in the 'libc_noux'
plugin.
Fixes#324.
With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link
terminal and allows interactive source-level debugging of the GDB monitor
test application on Genode.
Fixes#280.
Some type size tests in the findutils source code expect the 'time_t' type
to be of the same size as the 'long' type, whereas the Genode libc defines
it as '__int64_t' for ARM. This patch disables these tests.
Fixes#262.
