I have a number of "local" ports I use for various purposes. For example
one use is to build packages locally written software. Another is to
keep a private copy of ports I maintain under source control.
Historically I've put these in /usr/ports/lbl, e.g. lbl/lbl-acld which
might start out with:
PORTNAME= acld
PORTVERSION= 2.1
CATEGORIES= lbl
[...]
VALID_CATEGORIES+= lbl
This has worked well for years.
The other common case is a port that I maintain such as security/bro. I
keep my local dev version in /usr/ports/lbl/lbl-bro. This allows a
private log history and testing without modifying normal
/usr/ports/security/bro version until I'm ready to file a PR or commit
changes.
poudriere 3.2.0 breaks this practice:
[00:00:01] Warning: (lbl/lbl-bro): [00:00:01] Error: lbl/lbl-bro
has incorrect CATEGORIES, first should be 'lbl'. Please contact
maintainer of the port to fix this.
I assume it's picking up "lbl" from the directory path.
I don't want to/can't put "lbl" in the individual Makefile CATEGORIES.
Otherwise I can't do things like:
diff --exclude=.svn /usr/ports/lbl/lbl-bro /usr/ports/security/bro
and I definitely can't just copy Makefiles from lbl/lbl-bro to security/bro.
I tried to find a way to insert lbl at the front of CATEGORIES in
../Makefile.inc:
.if "$(CATEGORIES:Mlbl)" == ""
CATEGORIES= lbl $(CATEGORIES)
.endif
but I'm not sure it's possible; make appears to considers it recursive
even when it's protected by a conditional.
Is there a solution to or a better way of doing this?
Craig
