The most recent cvsup of my ports collection ended:

>Description:
/usr/ports/java/linux-jdk/Makefile assumes that you don't have the
VERSION_CONTROL environment set. If you set it, then the `patch'
program might use a different scheme for naming backup files, and
so when the Makefile does:
${RM} ${PREFIX}/linux-jdk1.2.2/bin/.java_wrapper.orig
${RM} ${PREFIX}/linux-jdk1.2.2/jre/bin/.java_wrapper.orig
The files it expects to delete don't exist, and the install fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/java/linux-jdk/
export VERSION_CONTROL="t"
make install
>Fix:
Depends who you think is at fault here. Perhaps this Makefile is
making unjustified assumptions about the behavior of `patch', in
which case it should be fixed somehow. Or perhaps the ports system
could be fixed to always invoke `patch' with `-b .orig'.
This isn't the first time I have had trouble with a port because I
set some environment variable in some unexpected way. So this is
actually another instance of a more general problem.
