2003-06-19Introduce a new framework to handle info files, install-info andseb1-47/+41
makeinfo commands. The goal of the new framework is twofold: - reduce the number of '@exec' and '@unexec' in PLIST by using INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to handle entries addition/removal Info directory file. - achieve lighter dependencies by avoiding unnecessary run-time dependency on the gtexinfo package and if needed with the help of the standalone install-info command provided by the recently imported package pkgtools/pkg_install-info. A package must be sightly updated to use this new framework and must define the variable USE_NEW_TEXINFO. This variable will be removed from the pkgsrc tree when all package would have been updated. For details see section 10.24 of Packages.txt, comments in mk/{texinfo.mk,buildlink2/bsd.buildlink2.mk} and upcoming mail to <tech-pkg at netbsd dot org>.

2003-03-25Update section 11.1 to advise attaching new packages as uuencoded tarsalo1-11/+7
archives for better tracking and archiving: 11.1 Submitting your packages ============================= ... * packages: First, check that your package is complete, compiles and runs well; see section 9 and the rest of this document. Next, generate an uuencoded gzipped tar(1) archive, preferably with all files in a single directory. Finally, send-pr(1) with category "pkg", a synopsis which includes the package name and version number, a short description of your package (contents of the COMMENT variable or DESCR file are OK) and attach the archive to your PR. If you want to submit several packages, please send a separate PR for each one, it's easier for us to track things that way.

2003-01-28Instead of including bsd.pkg.install.mk directly in a package Makefile,jlam1-15/+14
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M. Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.

2002-12-10 10.31 Packages that cannot or should not be builtschmonz1-1/+18
================================================= There are several reasons why a package might be instructed to not build under certain circumstances. If the package builds and runs on most platforms, the exceptions should be noted with NOT_FOR_PLATFORM. If the package builds and runs on a small handful of platforms, set ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM instead. If the package should be skipped (for example, because it provides functionality already provided by the system), set PKG_SKIP_REASON to a descriptive message. If the package should fail because some preconditions are not met, set PKG_FAIL_REASON to a descriptive message. IGNORE is deprecated because it didn't provide enough information to determine whether the build should fail.

2002-11-28Introduce new framework for handling packages' locale directories.salo1-1/+11
The logic is: - if package defines USE_PKGLOCALEDIR and PKGLOCALEDIR is not 'share' as GNU autotools expects then - fix variables 'localedir', 'gnulocaledir' and define coorect 'LOCALEDIR' in the Makefile.in.* files From Packages.txt: 10.29 Packages providing locale catalogues ========================================== If the package provides its own locale catalogues, the variable USE_PKGLOCALEDIR should be defined. It will ensure that the package's Makefile template files are fixed and point to the correct locale directories (which may vary, depending on OS), if necessary. See also section 5.1 for details about ${PKGLOCALEDIR}. This functionality is buildlink2-only.
