Howdy,

As should be obvious by now I'm following through on my previously
stated plans to remove the no longer necessary %%RC_SUBR%% and
%%RC_SUBR_SUFFIX%% from the ports tree. In a few cases where
substitutions for the former are still necessary because the script is
actually in the source distribution instead of in the ports tree, I've
substituted the literal string "/etc/rc.subr" for the macro. The _SUFFIX
macro has been a no-op for years now, and has been removed.

I will do one more grep through the entire ports tree tomorrow to make
sure I have taken care of everything, but I'm pretty sure at this point
that we're ready for the final step, the removal of the related code
from bsd.port.mk. To that end I've produced the following:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=145092

Once that change is made, the final step will be to remove
sysutils/rc_subr.

While I did make one error, I've tried very hard to make sure that all
of my changes actually are no-ops, but of course if anyone sees any
breakage please speak up ASAP.


Regards,

Doug
