--cWoXeonUoKmBZSoM Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Currently we have several ports that exist only to satisfy the GPL requirements that source code be provided for packages distributed in binary form. The ALWAYS_KEEP_DISTFILES macro is now used by the pointyhat package build system to save a copy of the DISTFILES for ports that need this. It is currently not documented in b.p.m but will be soon. To save copies of source code for binary ports, you may do the following: .if defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING) DISTFILES+= List of source files corresponding to your binary DISTFILES ALWAYS_KEEP_DISTFILES= yes .endif The emulators/linux_base-src-rh-7.3 and emulators/linux_base-src-rh-8 ports are now obsolete and will be marked deprecated in 2 weeks to give the maintainer time to convert them.
