In the current ports infrastructure, as many of you know, setting DESTDIR/PREFIX/etc. will cause unexpected things to happen. Last week there was a thread about 'DESTDIR & /etc/shells'. The PR associated with that topic was closed because 'the problem lies much deeper.' It was opened again, but I agree that the problem is much deeper. The patch in the following PR begins to fix the core of the problem - bsd.port.mk. If anyone has ever wanted to install somewhere other that /usr/local and has run into problems, you know the issues. Check it out... apply the patch to your local ports tree. Try it, and let me know if I left anything out. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28155 There will still be some ports' Makefiles that need fixing (e.g., they might have post-install targets that should install to ${DESTDIR}/${PREFIX} instead of ${PREFIX}), but at least bsd.port.mk will treat DESTDIR and PREFIX right now with this patch.
