OK folks, I'm getting pretty tired of having to clean up after ports
committers who are sloppy/lazy/ignorant when completing repo copy
operations. There are only several repo copies performed each week,
and most of them are completed incorrectly by the committers who
request them.
=46rom now on I expect every ports committer to refer to and follow this
checklist. I'm not going to be so tolerant of mistakes in future.
It's really very simple:
1) Repo copies
Once the repo copy operation is performed by cvs@, then:
* Upgrade the copied port to the new version (remember to change the
PORTNAME so there aren't duplicate ports with the same name)
* Add the new subdirectory to the SUBDIR listing in the parent
directory Makefile. 'make checksubdirs' in the parent directory
will check this for you.
* Add the new module entry
2) Removing a port
* Perform a thorough check of the ports collection for any
dependencies on the old port location/name, and update them.
grepping INDEX is not enough because some ports have dependencies
enabled by compile-time options. A full grep -r of the ports
collection is recommended.
* Remove the old port, the old SUBDIR entry and the old module entry
3) Repo moves ("rename" operations where a port is copied and the old
location is removed)
* The same steps as 1) and 2) to activate the new location of the port
and remove the old one.
Thanks for everyones co-operation.
Kris
P.S. Can someone mark this up for inclusion in the committer's handbook?
