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, Jeff Palmer scorpio@drkshdw.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
