>Description:

PKGORIGIN is currently determined by (first category)/(CURDIR:T). Most
tools assume that the source for a port is found under PORTSDIR/PKGORIGIN,
failing if it isn't, like pkg_version -v or portupgrade.

Unfortunately the category directorys name is determined by using the
first entry of CATEGORIES. While it is desirable to have the main category
listed first, ports that violate this rule break more than the should.
This happens mostly for slave ports or after repocopies.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

Since it is not desirable to hinder ports with wrong CATEGORIES from
installing (portlint should check CATEGORIES, but not bsd.port.mk),
assign the right PKGCATEGORY automatically in
  /usr/ports/(category)/Makefile.inc

This small shell script add a line the categories Makefile.inc where
this file exists (language specific ports), creating it where it doesn't:

#!/bin/sh

for d in /usr/ports/[a-z]*
do
  makefile=$d/Makefile.inc
  if [ ! -f $makefile ]
  then
    echo '# $FreeBSD$' > $makefile
    echo '#' >> $makefile
    echo >> $makefile
  fi
  echo 'PKGCATEGORY?=   '${d##*/} >> $makefile
done


IMHO the use of USE_SUBMAKE in the following lines of bsd.port.mk makes
no sense to me and should be eliminated:

# If they exist, include Makefile.inc, then architecture/operating
# system specific Makefiles, then local Makefile.local.

.if ${MASTERDIR} != ${.CURDIR} && exists(${.CURDIR}/../Makefile.inc)
.include "${.CURDIR}/../Makefile.inc"
USE_SUBMAKE=    yes
.endif

.if exists(${MASTERDIR}/../Makefile.inc)
.include "${MASTERDIR}/../Makefile.inc"
USE_SUBMAKE=    yes
.endif
