one of the key components of the system, but I'm sure that this:

- ${ECHO_MSG} "===> Registering installation for ${PKGNAME}"; \
+ ${ECHO_MSG} "===> Registering installation for ${PKGNAME}"; \

change has absolutely no chance to screw us up, right? :)
Ports for which we can't build packages should define NO_PACKAGE but
still prepare pkg/* files. The user who really wants a package and
clear of the legal problems can say FORCE_PACKAGE from the command line
to build a package anyway.
package: check installation, build package, create links,
touch cookie
repackage: ditto but don't check cookie
package-noinstall: just build package from installed stuff, no cookies
involved at all
package-links create the symbolic links only
delete-package: delete package and symbolic links
delete-package-links: delete links only
These should make the management of the spaghetti of package links
a little friendlier. :)
too (otherwise the chain won't work).
(2) If NO_WRKDIR is set, "make clean" removes "./.*_done" (assuming
these are cookies...or should I list all the cookies?)
build, install) are now all skeletons and do nothing but
(1) Call pre-* target (if exists)
(2) Call scripts/pre-* script (if exists)
(3) Call do-* target
(4) Call post-* target (if exists)
(5) Call scripts/post-* script (if exists)
The do-* targets do all the work. The pre-* and post-* targets/scripts
don't exist by default. The main targets check for the cookies too, so
porters shouldn't have to worry about them at all.
NOTE: THE MAIN TARGETS IN THE PORTS MAKEFILES SHOULD GO AWAY. We need
to fix this before wcarchive comes back up. Change the names to do-*,
rip out the cookies, rip out the calls to pre-* etc. and most of them
should work.
Also, reorganize the whole thing so that similar targets are together
and add more comments. Surround section header with 64 #'s (C-u C-u
C-u # in emacs :).
Hopefully this will be the last major change to bsd.port.mk. Now let
the Makefile-hacking begin.
rule.
2. Have all non-X11 prefix using packages include the BSD.local.dist mtree
file for initialization of /usr/local. I'm still not sure if this is
A Good Thing(tm) but I'll see what the users say. It's easily overridden.
3. Standardise on ${PKG_DBDIR} as pointer to /var/db/pkg or local preference.
"Building for WWW" (pops up in two different ports) "Installing for
web2c-6.1" (ditto), which aren even't reminiscent of the port's real
name.
Sorry jmz, please don't go fix the print Makefiles' own messages.
We are going to take them out after we do the great bsd.port.mk
update anyway.
the top level and have the build-package sequence of each port work
together.
For the old behavior (i.e, just go ahead and blindly pack everything up,
regardless of the contents of work/), there is a new target "repackage".
Since "build" depends on "configure", which depends on "patch", etc.,
this shouldn't disrupt any Makefile that doesn't break the dependency
chain.
The old behavior was very annoying because when I did a "make -k",
it would still try to go configure and build even if the extraction
failed.
all .tgz files go to /usr/ports/packages/.packages, and a relative
symlink is created for every item in CATEGORIES...i.e., if "CATEGORIES
= foo bar", then /usr/ports/packages/{foo,bar}/pkgname.tgz both point
to /usr/ports/packages/.packages/pkgname.tgz.

New variables:
PATCH_SITES: patch equivalent of MASTER_SITES, overridable with
. MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE.
PATCHFILES: Additional files to fetch and give to patch before
. applying the ones in patches/patch-*. If name ends
. with ".gz" or ".Z", it will be piped through zcat first.
Plus PATCH_DIST_STRIP and PATCH_DIST_ARGS that serve the same functions
as PATCH_STRIP and PATCH_ARGS for patches in patches/patch-*.
In the documentation and echo messages, I used the term "distributed
patches" and "FreeBSD patches" to refer to ${PATCHFILES} and patches/patch-*.
If you can come up with better names, by all means go ahead and fix them.
"grep PATCH /usr/ports/*/*/Makefile" reveals seven ports (mule, jless,
jtcl, jtk, dgd, less, color_xterm, gee I wonder why I'm the one who
implemented this) that can benefit from this. I'm now diving headlong
into /usr/ports to fix their Makefiles.
installation script, DEINSTALL for the deinstallation script, and
REQ for the requirement script, will be added with appropriate
flags to PKG_ARGS if they exist under pkg/.
