Subject: Re: ports/616: make install target in ports ignores NO_PACKAGE
From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami)
Sender: bugs-owner@FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

 * >Description:
 * 
 * 	When installing ports, the install target ignores the NO_PACKAGE
 * 	variable.

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.
