* In the last port of xmcd, I patched it to not ask the operator so
* many questions. How [about] using PACKAGE_BUILDING for that also?
Oh, the NO_PROMPT stuff? I took a look at the patch, it seems like
the things you turned off really don't need to be asked. (If people
want to install X binaries in somewhere other than /usr/X11R6/bin,
they have many more things to worry about than just xmcd....) So I
recommend leaving those alone.
* And instead of configuring a default CD-ROM drive, what about _not_
* running the configure script when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined?
* We can instead echo a message to inform the operator that the
* configure needs to be run. This way, we won't override an existing
* CD-ROM configuration.
Yes. You can put that in pkg/MESSAGE. This will be always printed
out when the user installs the package, but since I'm not going to run
the configure script when I build the package (and even if I do, my
CDROM is most likely different from most of the users anyway), it is
ok.
You can protect it for the local case by something like:
post-build:
.if defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)
@${CAT} ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE
.else
@/bin/sh ${WRKSRC}/whateverscript
IS_INTERACTIVE= yes
.endif
