how to install into staging area correctly?

2013-12-06 Thread Vick Khera 
I have a port locally that does this to install a file so other ports that
depend on this can have something to depend on from the file system.

do-install:
${CP} /dev/null ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rwde-base-installed


Lately it seems that the ports does a staging step, and the above file is
not found when building the package for that process. I changed it to


do-install:
${CP} /dev/null ${STAGEDIR}${LOCALBASE}/etc/rwde-base-installed


Is this safe to use ${STAGEDIR} unconditionally like this? Should I be
using a different variable to install my file in the do-install step?

I think you should use ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}, not ${LOCALBASE}.

Also, instead of ${CP} you should use the INSTALL_ macros:

You don't need any file, ports can depend on pkgname [1]:

p5-Spiffy=0.26:${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-Spiffy
