31 -portable ships with an experimental/work-in-progress cvg(1) utility, which
32 is disable by default, but can be enabled via the configure flag
33 --enable-cvg. It's is not recommended for use at this time though.

45 This release also introduces 'gotd', which is got's server implementation. By
46 extension, other tools are also introduced to work with gotd, and they are:
52 For more information about gotd, see gotd(8), as well as the above command man
53 pages where necessary. Note that gotd's portable implementation uses chroot()
54 to ensure some separation; this still requires the main gotd binary to run as
57 To enable gotd and the corresponding other tools which work with it, you must
58 pass the '--enable-gotd' ./configure flag.
60 Further installation instructions can be found in the README.portable file in
61 the root directory of the project.

102 There's been a tonne of -portable-specific changes in this release which aim
103 to make portability easier across the supported systems. In particular,
104 there's been a lot of header cleanups, and now that -portable is using
105 config.h, this has allowed dependencies to be split out, so that ncurses is
106 only linked where required (tog). This should allow for multipacking where
109 There have also been some great improvements to regress (which is the test
110 suite) to remove GNU-specific wrappers for date(1), sed(1), ln(1).
112 There's too many commits to list here, but for the specifics, see the
113 differences between '0.84.1..0.85'.
115 Thanks in particular to Christian "naddy" Weisgerber for his help with this
116 work, and this -portable release.

164 # got-portable 0.75.1 (2022-09-13)
166 This is a bug-fix -portable release to address the following:
168 * portable: macos: look for GNU Bison in more places, based on whether brew or
169 MacPorts is in use, and failing to find Bison that way, look in a few
170 hard-coded but likely locations.
171 * portable: remove compat sys/queue.h -- this now makes libbsd a core
172 dependency on those systems which require it.

177 * portable: improve <sys/queue.h> inclusion
