Request and Ideas: Vim filetype plugins for FreeBSD
I've been working on some ports and vim plugins and came across the notion that having syntax highlighting for FreeBSD ports files, e.g. pkg-plist, might be useful. Firstly, I looked at vim.org and freebsd-questions and in /usr/local/share/vim/vim* for any existing material and didn't find anything. My thoughts for filetype plugins for FreeBSD ports would be: * Create syntax files for things like: pkg-plist pkg-descr Makefile (when they're underneath a ports category) rc.conf sysctl.conf loader.conf * Write filetype plugins for ports You could use portlint as the compiler Quickfix could then help resolve problems Vimplate could be used for templating http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1808 Tag completion could help with variables like SITE_PERL * Write filetype plugin for rc.conf This could utilize omni completion for what's in /etc/default/rc.conf ... I notice that other distributions have done similar things. Has anyone done any work along these lines? -- Ian Tegebo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Adding paths to @INC in perl
I've found several methods for adding directories to @INC in perl:
www.ncode.ch/papers/Perl-Library-Mechanics.pdf
I was hoping to find a KNOB, or something I could put in pkgtools.conf
so that my custom library path gets included in perl's @INC. I was
hoping -Dusesitecustomize would have not required a patch to the port's
Makefile but this didn't seem to be the case.
I'm using -Dotherlibdirs now:

Is there a better way to do this? If not, should I submit this patch to the

Using mergemaster for non-base files
Is anyone using mergemaster for groups of files that are not being updated from /usr/src? I've been thinking of making a copy of /usr/src/etc/Makefile and then modifying it so that I can run mergemaster like this: -- script -- MYTMP="/var/tmp/twiki_upgrade" MYSRC="/var/tmp/new_twiki_src" MYDST="/usr/local/www/twiki" mergemaster -t $MYTMP -m $MYSRC -D $MYDST end script The first problem I ran into was: -- Error -- make: don't know how to make distrib-dirs. Stop make: don't know how to make distrib-dirs. Stop *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /var/tmp/new_twiki_src and install files to the temproot environment end Error --- Has anyone had any luck with something like this?

What does "make deinstall" do > that pkg_delete does not do? What does pkg_delete do that "make deinstall" > does not do? After spending some time with /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and the man page for pkg_delete, I think I'm just as confused as you are. As you mention, the man page for ports seems to imply that pkg_delete is a bad thing and that you should use 'make deinstall'. My analysis of 'make deinstall' in bsd.port.mk concludes that the deinstall target calls 'pkg_delete -f' on the package names supplied by pkg_info. I'm not entirely sure what implications this has for the installation cookies. If you were to only use pkg_delete, some things might go wrong. For example in the Technical Details section, it mentions the 'require' and the 'deinstall' scripts that can fail during a pkg_delete. A 'pkg_delete -f' would force the issue (and that's what 'make deinstall' does). Getting back to the 'make reinstall' target, it appears that all it does is 'rm -f' the installation and package cookies before running install. My conclusion is confusion. I'm not sure what the man page author meant by Use this to restore a port after using pkg_delete(1) when you should have used deinstall. Can someone with more experience give examples that might clarify the situation? -- Ian Tegebo Residential Computing University of California Berkeley ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm after the same thing. I did come across /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/addport and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/ports.html I've posted in freebsd-ports about this issue under the subject "Maintaining Site Specific Ports" and have one response at the moment that gives a succinct set of steps to try.

Maintaining local ports
I couldn't find anything in the handbook, freebsddiary, or the mailing lists about maintaining your own ports within Ports. I'd like to write ports that would install scripts local to my site such that multiple hosts can cvsup our "local tree" and then be able to install/uninstall using things like 'portupgrade'. These would be ports that only we would be interested in. Gentoo has the portage overlay feature: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5#doc_chap2 Does anyone know how FreeBSD may accomplish this? I've thought about creating my own ports mirror and then including my ports in something like /usr/ports/mysite (or /usr/ports/misc).

ports and interactivity
I'm interested in knowing several things: 1 When is a port interactive? 2 Is there an easy way to determine the above? 3 What are all the options for a given port? After doing some reading, I understand that one can learn about options in Makefiles, running "make show-config", "make show-options", or some other idiosyncratic method that seems to vary from port to port. In terms of question 1, there seems like there should be a "IS_INTERACTIVE" variable set in the Makefile but in the example of shells/bash-completion, there is no such variable and yet I was presented with what I imagine was "dialog" prompting me to choose between bash2 and the newer bash3 (default shells/bash). I have a hidden agenda here. I would like to be able to present portupgrade with a list of ports, preprocess all interactive ports before any actual building occurs, and then let portupgrade do its thing. Now, I could use the "BATCH" variable to at least process all ports that aren't interactive but that hardly seems cool when there could be dependencies that are interactive (which would show up when I pass -rRn to portupgrade). I've also taken a cursory look at portmanager and portmaster but neither seem to fulfill my agenda. It's not that I want to simply achieve automation, I want to do all the human work of evaluating options and making decisions up front (without all the tedious work of poking around in Makefiles when there are already nice things like those dialog prompts). Has anyone gone down this road? Does it not go anywhere?
