If an application's original Makefile doesn't include an "install:"
target, is it preferable to patch the Makefile to include one, or handle
the install with a "do-install:" target in the port's Makefile?
Also, if the application's man page fails to include gobs of useful
information and examples that are available via www, what's the best way
to grab content for inclusion in $PREFIX/share/doc/$PKGNAME ? Should
I just punt with fetch, or is there another preferred way to grab
additional files to add to $DOCSDIR? Perhaps something like:
do-install:
${FETCH_CMD} -o ${DOCSDIR} http://foo/bar.html
or perhaps it would be better to:
post-build:
${FETCH_CMD} -o ${WRKSRC} http://foo/bar.html
do-install:
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/bar.html ${DOCSDIR}
What's the preferred method?
