word: "zilch"). I guess the only way to get people try and comment on
these kind of things is to shove it down their throat.... ;)
Anyway, here's a set of changes required for auto-generation of READMEs
in ports directories. Necessary changes and additions of templates
to the ports tree will follow shortly.
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"
at the top level and see what they get.
Next step will be to add pkg/{COMMENT,DESCR} to all the categories.
to have /usr/local/bin/gm4 just to build this port.
However, the configure script would find /usr/bin/m4 if /usr/local/bin/gm4
isn't there, so tell it to use tha latter via CONFIGURE_ENV.
which has been in the tree for a much longer time.
Sorry for the multiple commits and I know I shouldn't be doing this but
my hamster tells me to be orthogonal...("hey Phoenix, do you think
I should call it LOCALBASE?" "squeak" "ok, if you say so").
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!")
freebsd.ftp.markers (ftp sites).
The latter file is quite incomplete, I'd like to at least have one for
each country (preferably all of ftp.*.freebsd.org's) in there. Many
entries are commented out because I either couldn't find out where the
site is or I couldn't find the name of the city on my map. ;)
