Low-hanging fruit - editline
If anyone is interested in easy fixes that need doing and would be a
good entry into development work, the broken editline update has exposed
a bunch of packages that incorrectly pull it in directly rather than
using mk/readline.buildlink3.mk.
Head to:
https://reports.pkgci.org/SmartOS/upstream/trunk/20250517.2249/meta/report.html
and find all the packages that are "indirect-failed" due to the editline
failure, and test their build on an OS that provides readline as the
default implementation (basically anything that isn't BSD-based), or
with READLINE_DEFAULT=readline set.
For the most part it should simply be a case of replacing:
.include "../../devel/editline/buildlink3.mk"
with:
.include "../../mk/readline.buildlink3.mk"
and verifying that it builds correctly. Some packages may need a small
amount of extra work to pass the right flags or variables, but there are
plenty of examples in the tree to help here.
Cheers,
