Hi,
In ports/73691[1], I have submitted a patch for bsd.port.mk to make
it easier for porters to use the rc.subr framework.
The suggested changes are:
- define RC_FILES, which contain a list of all the files to be
stored in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. This file may contain macros like
%%LOCALBASE%% and %%RC_SUBR%%.
- define RC_SUBST, which contain a list of all variables to be
replaced. For example LOCALBASE with ${LOCALBASE}.
- add three new targets:
- patch-rc, which patches the original RC_FILES to one with the
macros translated.
- install-rc, which installs the RC_FILES to /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
- add-plist-rc, which adds the RC_FILES to the pkg-plist.
This way it will be easier for porters to incorperate the rc.d files
into the Makefile/bsd.port.mk framework.
I'm sure I have missed a couple of things, so if you have played
with rc.subr and missed some features, tell me about it and lets
see how we can add them.
Edwin
