MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB is defined to be a list of X11R6 contrib sites,

There is also a new variable, MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR, to specify which
subdirectory of the master site your tarball is located.
One nice thing this enables the user to do is to define the
nearest mirror site in /etc/make.conf. This is especially useful
for continents without a full FreeBSD master site.
Eventually, we will probably split this into a separate file

MOTIFLIB, which is set to "${X11BASE}/lib/libXm.a" or

The porter is expected to replace all occurrences of libXm in the
{Im,M}akefiles with ${MOTIFLIB}, and this will allow both dynamic

build packages to be used by those withot Motif, i.e., me ;)

Anyway, here's a set of changes required for auto-generation of READMEs
in ports directories. Necessary changes and additions of templates

Eventually I'll commit all the generated READMEs to the tree, but that
will be in the rather distant future. For now, I encourage anyone
with a -current systam and a matching ports tree to do a "make readmes"

counterpart to X11BASE (default "/usr/X11R6").
Now PREFIX is set to ${X11BASE} or ${LOCAL_PREFIX} depending on
whether USE_IMAKE or USE_X11 is set or not.
This enables us to refer to non-X ports from X ports using
${LOCAL_PREFIX}, thus removing most of the remaining "/usr/local"s
from the ports tree.
This will also allow the system administrator to move the whole
"local" tree to somewhere else, without affecting X ports. (Of course
not all ports are necessarily happy with that, but we're working on
it.)
Based on: an idea that came up while I was watching a football game
several months ago ("hey, maybe I can move that sideline
without disturbing the other!")
"foo", what this does is:
(1) Put all distfiles and patchfiles in /usr/ports/distfiles/foo
(2) Go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/foo when the
master site is down
When your port has a lot of dist/patchfiles, or has a file that does
not have a very port-specific name (e.g., "Makefile"), set this
variable instead of redefining DISTDIR. (If you redefine DISTDIR, (1)
will work but (2) will not.)
Agreed that it's a good idea by: adam
(Sorry Jordan, but your other idea (${CATEGORIES}) was a major hit.)
Also remove the keyword field in the INDEX line and replace it with
two columns: build-time dependencies and run-time dependencies. They
are both list of package names (minus the ".tgz").
(1) people can have weird paths and it will still work, and
(2) if you really need to use /usr/local/bin/cp instead of /bin/cp,
you can do that by changing only one line.

Which means even if we fix it, it may break again and we may need to
fix it again, and (imagination here, please)....
Instead, move the file existence check into the for loop for
MASTER_SITES/PATCH_SITES and break out with "continue 2" when the file
is found. This is actually a cleaner logic than before if you ask me,
because instead of assuming the file is fetched on a 0 exit status
from ncftp AND checking for the existence of the file after the loop,
the check is done exactly once for each iteration and nowhere else.

Original idea by: mmead@Glock.COM
to do something else than "install". For example,
make IS_DEPENDED_TARGET=fetch fetch

The do-* targets do all the work. The pre-* and post-* targets/scripts

For the old behavior (i.e, just go ahead and blindly pack everything up,

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.
