The following reply was made to PR ports/87416; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Paul Ledbetter III <aeacides@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, mnag@freebsd.org Cc: moro@remus.dti.ne.jp Subject: Re: ports/87416: [PATCH] adapt lang/sbcl to PREFIX other than /usr/local Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 14:11:51 -0600 ------=_Part_8853_4166137.1130703111076 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hello, I did not realize until today that you had actually re-opened this pr. I still do not approve this patch. I imagine that the relevant text in the porter's handbook you are referring to is: "Avoiding the hard-coding of /usr/local or /usr/X11R6 anywhere in th= e source will make the port much more flexible and able to cater to the needs of other sites. " The port is perfectly flexible and able to cater to the needs of other site= s because the software provides an environment variable SBCL_HOME which overrides the default value. This fact is documented in every reasonable place (the manual, online, man pages, README etc.). In addition I would recommend the user set this enviroment variable even for the default prefix because it is known to eliminate some problems with core files. I am interested in making this port more "plug and play" for new users, but I will not ever approve this patch as submitted because it contains unnecessary files/* for FreeBSD.
