■[Coding] upgrading ATLAS ports to 3.8.1.

• For a quite long time, I've been stuck at ATLAS 3.6.0, because upgrading to 3.8.0 (the current version in ports) failed during the build. it seems the same symptom here -- PR - ports/119845.
  • cf. freebsd-ports ML;
    FreeBSD Port:atlas-3.8.0,1(Dec 30 21:49:14 PST 2007)
    FreeBSD Port:atlas-3.8.0,1(Jan 6 18:05:04 PST 2008)
• I thought I had tried before to compile the newer version by myself and found it failed. but today i tried again with 3.8.1, and somehow it is done! So I decided to upgrade the port.
• It looks that some patches had already been applied at the main code, and the corrections for other patch looks straightforward.
• It is now working (i guess). My system is FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (how lazy i am...) with intel core duo T2400 (32bit). i don't know anything about other systems.
• Some notes:
  • Patch should be made by

    diff -ruN superedit.bak superedit
       

    I made a patch file with "-rcN", the context output rather than the unified one (following my own old tips memo). I should update it.
• Ref: freebsd.org, freshports.
• 6/6/2008: update octave code in ryuon-stokes.
• 6/7/2008: the patch has been sent to the maintainer, and...
• 6/12/2008: committed.
