So... I'm looking at porting a debian package whose source appears to be distributed as an older version plus a couple of diffs to bring the old source to the current stable version.
The two diffs, uncompressed, are about 101KB. Should I add slightly-modified versions of these diffs as patches in the port's files directory, making a 104KB port? That seems awfully heavy. Or should I make distfiles of the original diffs, and write some Makefile magic in post-patch to apply them to the older source distfile? Is there a precedent for this? And while we're at it, what do I name this bugger? The original source was version "0.1.2.ds1" ... but the first diff brings this to "0.1.2.ds1-2", and the second to "0.1.2.ds1-2.1". Shall I just strip out the alpha, and convert the remaining non-numerics to periods? Or just call this "0.1.2", and bump PORTREVISION when ds1-2.2 comes out? Thanks. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
