Installing shells/pdksh makes the build hang rather than complete, so adding that as a build dependency does not help. The cause is the txt2man script in the port that attempts to figure out whether it has a modern /bin/sh and feeds itself to ksh if it doesn't. FreeBSD has a modern /bin/sh and doesn't always have ksh, so the test can cause problems. See attached patch for resolution. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to build the port after clearing the environment. "sudo env - make package" in the port directory should be sufficient. Build command that demonstrated the problem was: /usr/sbin/chroot /home/janm/p4/freebsd-image-std-2008.2/work/build-chroot \ /usr/bin/env - \ PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin \ /bin/sh -cxe ' cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot2-antispam-plugin env NO_MTREE="true" make package WRKDIRPREFIX=/ports-work PKGFILE='/ports-packages/dovecot2-antispam-plugin-20101222.tbz' BATCH=yes NODEPENDS=yes PACKAGE_BUILDING=yes' >Fix: Put the following into mail/dovecot2-antispam-plugin/files/patch-txt2man *** doc/txt2man.orig Fri Oct 7 17:45:27 2011 --- doc/txt2man Fri Oct 7 17:45:35 2011 *************** *** 1,5 **** #!/bin/sh - test "$HOME" = ~ || exec ksh $0 "$@" # try ksh if sh too old (not yet POSIX) # Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003 Marc Vertes --- 1,4 ---- >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
