https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273341 --- Comment #3 from Fernando Apesteguía <fernape@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Graham Perrin ◐ from comment #2) It's not that is not perfect. It is looking for the wrong thing. The thing that identifies a metaport as such is USES=metaport. That is what the handbook says. Metaports *should* use that. The title of this PR says: "a meta port should describe itself as such". I'm arguing that sentence is false. Unless you can provide proof that some authority in the project said that metaports *should* described themselves as that. What the handbook *does* say is that they should use USE=metaport. This should give anyone, the list of metaports in the tree: find . -name Makefile -exec egrep -H 'USES=.*metaport' {} \; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
