My comment was about adding code to bsd.port.mk. Removing the dead code that was already in the tree was the right thing to do, thank you. -- WXS ___ 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"

It's a legitimate name of a custom target which maintainers can use if they want. We should be vigilant of code which assumes it will be called though, but there's nothing wrong with it being a custom target that the maintainer wants for one reason or another. -- WXS ___ 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"

Jason, thanks for this cleanup work. Have you checked if there is any portlint check for this? It would also be very valuable. Gabor Your welcome, and thanks. I did consider it, however it was also noted to me that portlint shouldn't take the place of poor port coding. That doesn't mean it can't be done, but I also tend to agree with this. Perhaps adding logic to bpm would be a good way to wrap it up, as well. -jgh -- Jason Helfman System Administrator experts-exchange.com http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_4830110.html E4AD 7CF1 1396 27F6 79DD 4342 5E92 AD66 8C8C FBA5 ___ 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"

post-deinstall target is invalid
Howdy Porters, I just finished clobbering all of the post-deinstall targets that were in the portstree. Currently, this is an invalid target to use in a port. Please use the default pkg-deinstall file: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#PKG-FILES or, use SUB_FILES: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#USING-SUB-FILES I will work on a effort, as well, to get some supporting documentation into the Porter's Handbook. Many thanks, Jason -- Jason Helfman System Administrator experts-exchange.com http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_4830110.html E4AD 7CF1 1396 27F6 79DD 4342 5E92 AD66 8C8C FBA5 ___ 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"
