https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195014 --- Comment #18 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to lightside from comment #17) > If distinfo is changed, the > maintainer will need to check plist issues again, regardless of the method > used. The port also control the do-install stage. If the distfile changes and the maintainer *doesn't* check the plist, it will pass even if the empty directories change. So nothing forces the maintainer to actually check -- only if a new file gets install would a problem be detected by qa checks. > Well, if you want to check issues of this port, you will need to check > attached logs, check-plist and portlint results, which means to use > poudriere (or tinderbox), either just install/deinstall the port (and > games/wxlauncher, which is needed from 195013 bug report). But beware, this > might take many hours (depending from the test method used and hardware > capabilities). I did it and I know what I talking about. You're missing the point. If there is a static manifest (pkg-plist), anybody can run QA checks on any platform and be confident what is installed is what the maintainer intended. This is impossible for ports with autogen plists. > > Personally, I used dynamic package list generation for many ports and they > are still works. dynamic plists are scrutinized now. I would wager if this "many ports" are still active today, many would face recommendations to convert them to a static pkg-plist. Of course, I'm just guessing without having seen these ports. I acknowledge this is a very low-risk port in any case. I'll promote the PR to the next level with a static plist. If you insist on a dynamic plist then I'll let someone else promote it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
