This is port ports-mgmt/portmk, an alternate bsd.port.mk.
|
|
|
|
Targets of this project are:
|
|
|
|
- Modularization on bsd.port.mk, to make refactoring possible.
|
|
|
|
- Better awareness of upcoming features for ports developers,
|
|
including giving them the ability to review changes and give
|
|
feedback early.
|
|
|
|
- Faster turnaround times for development patches.
|
|
|
|
- Widespread testing of new features.
|
|
|
|
- Faster adoption of advanced features without endangering the
|
|
stability of the ports tree.
|
|
|
|
This has been created as a follow-up to a proposal I sent to
|
|
portmgr@ May 13th.
|
|
|
|
Although it is desired that the whole ports tree builds with
|
|
portmk, it is inevitable to break some ports. This may be due
|
|
to bugs in portmk, where not every change is bento-tested before
|
|
committed, or ports depending on undocumented features they
|
|
shouldn't rely upon.
|
|
|
|
How can you help?
|
|
|
|
- Build your ports with portmk, falling back to omake only when
|
|
necessary. Submit entries to KnownIssues in case of problems.
|
|
|
|
- Run a tinderbox with portmk
|
|
|
|
- Submit patches improving the code
|
|
|
|
- Give feedback whether you like the new features, and what do
|
|
you think could be improved.
