>Description:
When using portmaster -g to build new ports and create packages for them, in many cases it does not create packages for the required ports. As an example, if one starts without any KDE ports installed and issues
portmaster -g x11/kde4
in fact at the end only a tiny kde-4.12.4.txz package will have been created, but nothing for any of the ports pulled in by x11/kde4. This behavior has started a few weeks ago; before that point, portmaster -g would build packages for all the required sub-ports.
It seems that portmaster does not correctly hook into the building of subports any more; rather, they seem to be built directly as if one had just issued
cd x11/kde4 ; make
This is also reflected by the fact that the xterm window title does not reflect any more which sub-port is currently being built, but just stubbornly shows "portmaster: x11/kde4" all the time.
The same thing happens with many other bigger metaports. There are some ports, however, where portmaster will still correctly build each sub-port separately, and will also build packages for each of them.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start with no KDE ports installed, issue "portmaster -g x11/kde4", and observe that at the end of the process, only the package kde-4.12.4.txz has been created (although all sub-ports have been built).
>Fix:
This behavior seems to have originated with one of the latest great reshufflings of the port infrastructure not too long ago. Most likely, portmaster has to be adapted to take these changes into account and again hook correctly into the build process for sub-ports.
