This is natural. It's supposed to use an empty "package" target, not
the "install" target.
* >Fix:
*
* Change install target in bsd.port.mk to make the fake-pkg target
* only get run if NO_PACKAGE is undefined. Looks like
*
* .if !defined(NO_PACKAGE)
* @${MAKE} ${.MAKEFLAGS} fake-pkg
* .endif
I'm not sure why you want to do this. fake-pkg is (despite the name --
I should have called it differently) not a packaging target. (Well
it's a "fake", I know. :)
NO_PACKAGE is meant for ports that we can't distribute binary packages
due to some restriction (export law, licensing, etc.). The fake-pkg
target, on the other hand, registers the port you just installed on
YOUR system, and there is no reason why NO_PACKAGE should preclude it.
