But you're implying that there is Makefile and it supports DESTDIR. As I understand, you're referring to autotools-based ports. Remember, those are less than 1/4 of the collection. > pass DESTDIR to port's commandline, then it will install all > dependencies in that chroot which is not desired, we simply care about > the files installed by that port.

So if I understand correctly, you're proposing to only use dynamic plist generation for the ports that support it without modification, i.e. autotools-based? My opinion is that we should support the feature for all ports, or don't support it at all. Only getting rid of ~5k pkg-plists is not a huge accomplishment considering the mess it causes and I doubt it's worth the work on adding the feature to port.mk and then rebuilding and testing all affected ports. Being able to forget about pkg-plists once and forever however would be a huge accomplishment and if that's possible it should be done sooner or later. --=20 Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
