It may be tricky to handle the current ignore mechanism of @comment. I laid out ideas for this before. Here is my previous proposal which had separate plist files for sub-packages. The general idea could be adapted to other ways of specifying patterns/lists for sub-packages though: All plists are packaged and then anything leftover is packaged into the main package assuming there is not a plist for it specifying what to install. Orphans would only be things not in any plist. So if you specify a main plist then you are forbidden to have orphans, not specifying a plist would have no orphans as everything is installed from stagedir. 1. No plists =3D everything in STAGEDIR is automatically added to a plist= =2E (I suppose this ignores all the cruft in Mk/* that adds to plists) 2. pkg-plist =3D "main" plist, If you only have this file then any orphan= s are fatal. 3. pkg-plist, pkg-plist.docs, main package and doc package, any orphan not in one of these plists is fatal. "doc" is arbitrary here, you can have N plists. 4. pkg-plist.ignore contains files not to install and not to consider orphans. One could argue that "ignore" here really should be a subpackage of the ignored files. I.e., why are they ignored? Should it really just be another subpackage? But "ignore" can be a special case to really ignore and not package. This scheme gives us autoplist, a way to ignore orphans you know don't matter, and properly alerts when new files are added in new releases. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --0qpt6daiW0AlcnhPiRuP3sbaQFGELTSTc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUB4LNAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPuroH/AplcA33QotYWBBAX/JUxYhQ N9y9F8PVECOYD8yT2pt60V8dB9jglM8lnIhc4NMvhV9aYqwkRrtAIY39JJbWhFOo XPbxu+lTEZMldMnDdhclJhtXrGnEHyxArV/gp7DJ12cFfiDcxG627QCy0A7ycBRb mDgt7twVdT/DSX2TXHADQ/J5JQpi23oGStV5OgAU37ixRv+d1Ske+QcIc14tOR2r Gbod799yUL67YoVloLzkVXZJkIeXStXsFwy5jd/88ka7AddpXkrnLXhfUbTgVvYQ dl0qMFLoQ8cILbhAbMCugATBaQ61QyWU5mfV7gUF1dC9xUYyVH72GF1BRzkiGAs= =+VP2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0qpt6daiW0AlcnhPiRuP3sbaQFGELTSTc--
