            Bug ID: 192946
           Summary: put tailored copies of <bsd.prog.mk>, <bsd.lib.mk>,
                    etc in Mk/
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Infrastructure
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: marino@FreeBSD.org

It came to light that at least 127 ports are intentionally using makefile
fragments from the base system, e.g. <bsd.prog.mk>, <bsd.lib.mk>, etc.

As these files are out of control of ports, this is not a good idea.  Even if
it's been done for 20 years, it wouldn't be the first item with done since the
beginning that was ill-advised.

If people basically agree these system makefile fragments are useful for
customized vendor makefiles, then I recommend that copies of the useful ones
should be tailored and placed in the Port's Collection Mk/ directory, perhaps
with file names like <bsd.port.prog.mk>, <bsd.port.lib.mk>, etc.

The follow-on step would be to convert those 127+ ports to use the port's
version of these makefiles.

This has obvious benefits on portability as well as configuration control.
