roff(7) dictates that "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an
input line." Instead of doing this, Sortix manpages (incorrectly) used
double-spaces to separate sentences.
Additionally, fix a few small typos.
pkg.use-bootstrap can now be set to true to add a bootstrap phase to
cross-builds. I.e. the package is built for the native platform and
installed to a temporary location, which is in the PATH during the
actual cross-compilation. This feature is useful for some misbehaving
ports that can cross-compile, but require the exact same version of the
software installed locally. The bootstrap build is controlled with the
bootstrap.foo variables rather than the normal pkg.foo variables.
pkg.source-package can now be set to the name of another package, whose
source code is built using the current tixbuildinfo. This feature allows
providing multiple packages using the same source code package. By
default, the source code of the source package is assumed to be in
../${pkg.source-package}, but this can be overridden with the option
--source-directory.
pkg.alias-of can now be set to the name of another package to specify
that this package is an alias of the other package, creating an empty
binary package depending on the real package.
pkg.subdir support has been fixed in the clean and post-install phases.
pkg-config support has been improved and PKG_CONFIG is now set to
$HOST-pkg-config and PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD is set to pkg-config.
tix-build has been refactored as needed and generally cleaned up. Error
handling, such as on allocations, have been added in a lot of cases. The
support for FOO_FOR_BUILD variables have been unified and simplified.
Appending to PATH now correctly handles the empty PATH.
This reverts commit f6cde2d7a6.
gcc detected this header existing and emitted its own limits.h that
included the libc limits.h. This caused the #include_next chain to reach
the end and including the header failed.
Undoing this commit for now until the compiler toolchain is updated to
avoid this problem.
The console has gained these escape codes:
- Set color to any of 256 entries in the palette.
- Set color to any 24-bit RGB value.
- Inverse mode.
- Bold mode.
- Underline mode.
- Move cursor to line N.
- \a is now ignored.
The effectively unused ATTR_CHAR has been removed. Parsing of escape codes
has been improved. The graphical palette has been changed to the tango
colors, which makes Sortix look a bit differently. Some user-space programs
have been changed to use different colors that look better under the new
palette.
Remove const from methods that weren't really const and remove mutable
keyword workaround.
A new ioctl TIOCGDISPLAYS allow detecting which displays the terminal
has associated. The ability to set a keyboard layout can be detected
with tcgetblob kblayout.
Improve the user-space multi-monitor support while here.
The kernel now sets TERM rather than init(8).
This is a compatible ABI change riding on the previous commit's bump.
This change refactors the process group implementation and adds support
for sessions. The setsid(2) and getsid(2) system calls were added.
psctl(2) now has PSCTL_TTYNAME, which lets you get the name of a process's
terminal, and ps(1) now uses it.
The initial terminal is now called /dev/tty1.
/dev/tty is now a factory for the current terminal.
A global lock now protects the process hierarchy which makes it safe to
access other processes. This refactor removes potential vulnerabilities
and increases system robustness.
A number of terminal ioctls have been added.
This is a compatible ABI change.
