| excerpt from man 1 portmanager
|
| Here is how to handle locally installed ports if you plan to take
| advantage of some of FreeBSD's port system features:
|
| ########################################################################
| # Makefile from /usr/ports/local/sysutils/somelocalportname/Makefile
| ########################################################################
| PORTNAME= somelocalportname
| PORTVERSION= 0.1.0
| CATEGORIES= local/sysutils
|
| # for FreeBSD to accept our
| # local category
| VALID_CATEGORIES+= ${CATEGORIES}
|
| Simply add a "local" directory to /usr/ports and install your local
| ports under that directory. Where a normal FreeBSD port may be in
| "sysutils/{portname} the example above would reside in "local/sysu-
| tils/{portname}".
OK, that's a clever thing.
Now, the only thing that is left for the maintainer to do is
to fix the Makefile (s/local// and remove the line with the
VALID_CATEGORIES) before preparing a diff or shar for
send-pr.
| then in /etc/make.conf
|
| set prefix for the local port something like (an example of one I use):
|
| #Because I don't want my development version of portmanager
| #installing on top of the version in the ports tree
| .if ${.CURDIR:M*/local/sysutils/portmanager}
| PREFIX=/home/mike/TEMP
| .endif
|
| -Mike
|

OK, I also like this, but perhaps it could be made to set
PREFIX for any port under ports/local? Would the following
work?
.if ${.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/local/*}
PREFIX=/my/favourite/prefix
.endif
Thanks for the tips,
Fernan
