have three variables:
EXEC_DEPENDS - A list of "prog:dir" pairs of other ports this
package depends on. "prog" is the name of an
executable. make will search your $PATH for it and go
into "dir" to do a "make all install" if it's not found.
LIB_DEPENDS - A list of "lib:dir" pairs of other ports this package
depends on. "lib" is the name of a shared library.
make will use "ldconfig -r" to search for the
library. Note that lib can be any regular expression,
and you need two backslashes in front of dots (.) to
supress its special meaning (e.g., use
"foo\\.2\\.:${PORTSDIR}/utils/foo" to match "libfoo.2.*").
DEPENDS - A list of other ports this package depends on being
made first. Use this for things that don't fall into
the above two categories.
DEPENDS behaves exactly like before, so old Makefiles will still work
the same. The two variables are lists of pairs as described above.
For instance, if your program depends on unzip and libjpeg.5.*, use
the following definitions:
EXEC_DEPENDS= unzip:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/unzip
LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg\\.5\\.:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg
gmake:${PORTSDIR}/utils/gmake is automatically added to EXEC_DEPENDS
if USE_GMAKE is defined.
If NO_DEPENDS is defined, the list will just be printed out one by one.
2) Change INSTALL_MANPAGES to NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES and document it
3) Add a PKGNAME variable to allow the package name
not to be dictated by stupid DISTNAMEs
4) Add a PATCH_DEBUG option and a slight change to the default
patch system - add --forward to help ensure correct patching
Further investigation showed that prefix was erroneously set to /usr/local
for X11 based ports as well, when the assumption was that they'd really go
into ${X11BASE} (an /etc/make.conf variable that the user's free to set).
Set X11BASE to /usr/X11R6 if the user hasn't already, and assume that
the user really wants prefix to point there when the port is XMKMF based.
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE - If set in the environment, will override everyone's
MASTER_SITES settings. Useful if you'd prefer to point to a
distfiles repository somewhere closer.
MASTER_SITE_FREEBSD - Sets OVERRIDE to be FreeBSD's own master repository.
about them.. :-) The patches/* won't work, it needs to be patches/patch-*
to avoid catching things like CVS files when working with a checked-out
copy of ports! Whoops!
1. Make build rely on a BUILD_COOKIE now. I'm tired of builds
being redone gratuitously while I'm trying to debug a tree build
problem.
2. Remove all the literal `touch -f' commands and indirect them through
variables. This lets you "leave tracks" in different ways, depending
on the medium. Just part 1 of my planned changes to make builds
directly off the CD work.
is an interactive port, and requires user input somewhere along
the way (either fetching, configuring, building or installing).
If the user then sets BATCH in their environment, this port will be
skipped. If the user sets INTERACTIVE, then ONLY those ports marked
interactive are run (allowing one to do all ports in two passes).
If the user sets both BATCH and INTERACTIVE, then a metal claw extends
from the CRT and brutally yanks their nose off.
install cookie work any other way (perhaps I'm just being stupid).
In any case, INSTALL_COOKIE now works as advertised, and prevents duplicate
installations. pre-install users will have to keep their own cookies if
they wish to avoid duplicate installations, or tell me how to make the
rules run properly.
1. Make DEPENDS fully qualified, and not implictly assume relative
to ${PORTSDIR}. This allows more arbitrary dependencies to be
specified. This also means that DEPENDS= x11/foo needs to be changed
to DEPENDS= ${PORTSDIR}/x11/foo in any Makefiles. I'll try to do
these changes myself.
2. Add an option NO_DEPENDS to disable the automagic building of depended
ports.

Make DEPENDS now does a `make is_depended' in the target port.
This defaults to `all install' globally, but can be overriden locally
by a port if it wants to do different things when other ports depend on it.
the light. `env' can be used to pass environment variables to shell
scripts this way, which means that all *configure/post-build scripts
_no longer take any arguments_; everything they should need (and more)
is now available in the environment. I'm working now to adapt the older
shell scripts over, but if you want beat me to it on some of your own
ports, don't let me stop you! :)

to a reasonable compromise:
MASTER_SITES now contains a space seperated list of sites for which each
DISTFILE may be retrieved. This should be a directory spec, which will be
concatenated with each file in DISTFILES. HOME_LOCATION is *gone* now
and isn't used for anything, so you can delete it from your Makefiles.
If you want to force a fetch from a given location, simply do something like:
MASTER_SITES= ftp://fnord.foo.bar/pub/dist
DISTFILES= a.tar.gz b.tar.gz
Your entry in MASTER_SITES will be tried first to fetch a.tar.gz and
b.tar.gz, followed by any master sites we have set up (right now, only
freebsd.cdrom.com).
1. DISTFILE is gone and replaced by DISTFILES, which can contain one or
more file specifications.
2. MASTER_SITE created, which points to the distfiles directory on
freebsd.cdrom.com (which I'll set up in a moment).
3. HOME_LOCATION is now simply a hint, and is never directly used except
to inform the user when ncftp unable to transfer a file from
MASTER_SITE.
4. ncftp is now assumed to live somewhere in the path, in preparation for
Andrew bringing it in on a more permanant basis.
5. XMKMF defined - it was not before.
Thanks to Andrew (ache) for many helpful suggestions.
multiple targets when dealing with creating a set of distribution files
from scratch. Another problem is *verifying* that a given file fetched
from its HOME_LOCATION is the one we wanted (what if the stupid ftp site
maintainer updated it in place?). Rich Morin pointed this out and suggested
some solutions. I need to think about it some more (suggestions?).
For now, we have a seperate `fetch' and `extract' target.

remains, and that's that this does not work with multiple targets, which
sort of throws the tk and fvwm distributions into a mess. tk needs both
a tarball and a patch file from the same site, fvwm needs up to 3 different
files if you want all the options. If anyone wants to take this the last
few steps of the way towards somehow handling cases like this, I'd be very
happy.

${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
With simply `${DISTFILE}' which defaults to the above. This lets you
easily name distribution files that don't cooperate with any rational
naming syntax.
Similarly, make a variable called ${PKGFILE} which fills the same purpose
for packages.
Just trying to make this thing really really general to suit every need.
Now I need somebody to figure out how to make the extract target auto-fetch
things from ${HOME_LOCATION} with ncftp *if* ncftp is installed and it
looks possible to reach the foreign site. That will take some fancy footwork,
but would be slick. I've changed this too so that HOME_LOCATION is no longer
set by default, allowing you to do an .if defined(..) check for it. The
extract rule now does this too.
