https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D223499 Bug ID: 223499 Summary: [change request] Add wip to VALID_GATEGORIES for work-in-progress ports Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bacon4000@gmail.com CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 187827 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D187827&action= =3Dedit Unified diff I routinely deploy work-in-progress ports on numerous servers for beta test= ing before committing them. These are typically for scientific programs that I= am not qualified to test myself, so I rely on researchers to quality-check the installations. To facilitate this, I maintain a separate repository, which I check out to /usr/ports/wip, following the example of pkgsrc-wip. Ports checks require that the first entry in CATEGORIES match the parent directory. Adding wip here results in an invalid category error. I can patch it in as necessary, but would like to make the change permanent= so that this is unnecessary and problems can be avoided. There are a few other contributors to my wip collection at this point and I= 'm hoping to see the system grow, as pkgsrc-wip has proven to be a popular and useful model to follow. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
