* From: Jeremy Lea <reg@FreeBSD.ORG> * I'm still working on some of the packing issues. My current plan is to * add a PKGNAME suffix, which depends on the highest level of USE_* (ie a * port which might use X or X and GNOME, would be known as foo-1.0, * foo-1.0-x11 and foo-1.0-gnome). You can't have anything after the package version number. Something like foo-x11-1.0 and foo-gnome-1.0 is fine. * One solution is to have a standard FreeBSD package building policy: like * WITH_X11=yes on bento, and FreeBSD.org would only have one set of * packages. If someone else wants to donate the machine cycles to say * building WITH_GNOME=yes packages, then they could be added. Those can be done on bento also. Just make another port with a Makefile that says "WITH_GNOME=yes" and then includes the master port. Figuring out the chain of dependencies could be messy though. We need to make sure the user won't end up with a gnome-disabled foo and gnome-enabled bar when bar depends on foo (or something like that).
