I'm creating a new port. An addition to qmail.
I've created and maintained other ports, but this is my first "major" one.
Unfortunately, the porters-handbook is a little lacking (I might send a
-doc PR after I get these answers.)
Anyway, on to the questions.
#1) I don't want to hard code /var/qmail in the do-install:
However, my port doesn't seem to understand the
${QMAIL-INSTALL-PREFIX}
as other ports do. (e.g. mail/qmail-tls)
How would I tell the Makefile to use the ${QMAIL-INSTALL-PREFIX} like other
ports?
(I think the answer to number 1 will get me through number 2)
#2) After the port is installed, how do I create the pkg-plist? nothing
goes into
${PREFIX} (/usr/local/) most files will actually be going into
/var/qmail/bin/
would I create the pkg-plist with:
${QMAIL-INSTALL-PREFIX}/bin/file1
${QMAIL-INSTALL-PREFIX}/bin/file2 etc?
I have a plist creation script that I created from the porters
handbook, however,
it creates an empty file now, because nothing goes into /usr/local
Thanks in advance,
