H, Raghu,
at first it looks good, but there are some issues in your Makefile that are correct in the examples provided to you.
your port should
- use STAGEDIR (in short time we deprecate all ports without stage support, also we have checks in place to test the port before a package is created)
- do not use a 'deinstall' target, with a proper pkg-plist everything is handed from the pkg tools
(If you run the command `pkg_deinstall testport-2.1' you will notice nothing happens, without a pkg-plist)
- WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR} and later using '${WRKSRC}/${DISTNAME}' is not required in your test port, remove the line.
(in the ports framework WRKSRC is already set to ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME})
PS:
In Sept. 2014 the old pkg_(install|deinstall|...) tools will be deprecated and everything is build with the new pkg tools (ports-mgmt/pkg)
The required changes in your case (written in svn diff notation)
- COMMENT= test
-
- ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64
-
- WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}
- NO_BUILD= yes
-
-
- .include <bsd.port.options.mk>
-
-
- do-install:
-
- @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/sbin/test/
- ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKSRC}/${DISTNAME}/bin/test/testbinary ${PREFIX}/sbin/test/
-
- deinstall:
- @${RMDIR} ${PREFIX}/sbin/test
-
- .include <bsd.port.mk>
+ COMMENT= test
+
+ LICENSE= ??? (if there is one)
+
+ ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64
+
+ NO_BUILD= yes
+
+ .include <bsd.port.options.mk>
+
+ do-install:
+ @${MKDIR} ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/sbin/test
+ ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${WRKDIR}/bin/test/testbinary ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/sbin/test
+
+ .include <bsd.port.mk>
