Well, as I mentioned in a followup. I'm actually doing this work so that I can use the system mk files for our product development, but I also wanted to be able to registered all the installed files from our products in the pkg db too. Having tried parallel trees, and hacking the ports mk files to get our code directly out of CVS and various other attempts eventually I found out that it's quite easy to link the two together, so that's what I did. So that's the problem it solves :-) I only chose sbin as a demo, you can put the PORTNAME entry in any Makefile and the granularity of the package it creates is going to be based on the content of the pkg-plist and not where in the tree the Makefile is. I'll reply to your other mail with specific points. Paul.Received on Fri Sep 19 2003 - 01:13:09 UTC
