bsd.lib.mk and PREFIX
Hi all, I’m attempting to create a port for a library that uses BSD makefiles, and it’s turning out to be more difficult than some other gmake/cmake/whatever things I’ve previously ported! The top-level Makefile within the port’s tarball looks like this: ``` LIB=distance SRCS= levenshtein.c hamming.c bloom.c needleman_wunsch.c jaccard.c SRCS+= minkowski.c damerau.c MAN=distance.3 CFLAGS+=-g -Wall -Wunused LDADD+= -g SUBDIR+=test swig CLEANFILES+=distance.cat3 .include ``` Everything builds ok, but when I stage I get this error: ``` install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 libdistance.a /usr/home/jon/freebsd-ports/devel/libdistance/work/stage/usr/lib install: /usr/home/jon/freebsd-ports/devel/libdistance/work/stage/usr/lib: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted ``` I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why the ports framework wants to install a library into `/usr/lib` instead of `/usr/local/lib`, or what variable I could set to override this behaviour. Any ideas?

Re: USE_GITHUB and submodules
Ok, I've updated the port and it passes portlint (with one warning that
I can't seem to fix without introducing more warnings). Is the next step
to create a Phabricator review request via arcanist? If so, do I list
the folks you replied to this thread as reviewers? :) I suppose I would
also list people who I find with 'svn blame'?
Cheers,
Jon

Re: USE_GITHUB and submodules
Thanks everybody for the input! With a security hat on, I definitely
concur with the policy of no fetching outside of fetch and of requiring
reproducibility/verifiability (e.g., commit hashes). With my
getting-this-darn-port-updated hat, however... :)
I think that I'll try to go with Shane's solution, if others concur that
it's a good idea. I don't want to create a rust-llvm port, since Rust's
customized version of LLVM isn't much good outside of Rust, it doesn't
expose any external libraries and it's intended to eventually go away.
So, until GitHub implements the "give me a tarball with all of the
submodules" feature, I might try hacking up MASTER_SITES as Shane suggests.
Cheers,
Jon

USE_GITHUB and submodules
Hi all,
Is there a mechanism for using the USE_GITHUB variable in a port that
depends on submodules? For instance, the Rust port requires an embedded
(and modified) version of LLVM, which it includes as a submodule. Right
now I'm attempting to add the following to a `post-extract` rule:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git init && \
git remote add origin https://github.com/${GH_ACCOUNT}/${PORTNAME} && \
git fetch && \
git reset --hard ${PORTVERSION} && \
git submodule init && \
git submodule update --recursive
But this seems quite hackish! It would be great if submodules Just
Worked... but alternatively, is there a USE_GITHUB_URL or somesuch that
would check things out via Git instead of tarball to save me the `git
init` through `git reset` steps?
Cheers,
Jon

I fail to see the problem here. I also fail to see the problem. :) Just to be clear, my post was arguing against Doug's assertion that few will use pkg's bootstrapper (and that this is a problem): I hope that pkgng and package sets will vastly increase the use of binary packages by FreeBSD consumers. > /usr/sbin/pkg installs /usr/local/sbin/pkg without requiring the Ports > Collection to be available locally. Which is exactly the behaviour that I want: I view the ports tree as a last resort to be used only if binary packages fail to fulfil my needs. Sometimes I don't even bother fetching it. Once again, we may be in violent agreement here. :) Jon -- Jonathan Anderson jonat...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

But surely the whole point of pkgng is that people *will* use pkg as the default method of acquiring third-party software, so they'll want to "pkg install foo" and have it Just Work. To say either "you must download the ports tree in order to use binary packages" or "you must use pkg_add to install pkg" seems to miss the point...

In fact, the runtime behaviour of the Debian "alternatives" system is simpler than that: http://segfault.in/2010/04/using-the-debian-alternatives-system/ The custom Perl script with a config file is used to set up symlinks, which at runtime are... well, just symlinks. For instance, /usr/bin/vim is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/vim, which is itself a symlink to a binary like vim.gtk (example shamelessly stolen from the linked page, since I no longer have any Debian boxes to check for myself on :). No magic binaries or argv[0] fu. In one way, it's an elegant solution. On the other, it's a classic example of Wheeler's Law in action. :) Jon -- Jonathan Anderson Research Student, Security Group Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge +44 (1223) 763747 jonathan.ander...@cl.cam.ac.uk___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
