Bug 249255: devel/tortoisehg: Python autoplist generates invalid items
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249255



--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
autoplist uses setuptools --record output to produce the pkg-plist. This ca=
n be
verified by looking at the various plist files in the $WRKDIR post-install

All else being equal, it's very likely these files aren't packaged correctly
upstream, in the sense that they aren't in the --record output, due to being
'specially handled' in some way.

The usual method this takes place is custom build* or install* methods in
setup.py, that override or replace the defaults in setuptools, which fail to
add the files being processed to setuptools output files list that's used in
--record output.

Workaround: pkg-plist entries can be used in combination (complementary to)
autoplist, so put those "missing" pkg-plist entries there, if they arent
already, until the root cause is identified and resolved.
