https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D198045 --- Comment #8 from Melvyn Sopacua <m.r.sopacua@gmail.com> --- I can agree on a case-by-case base and the discussion about the flaws in poudriere and similar be moved to ports@. However, using the .if exists() construct is probably something that is not understood well by maintainers. The construct can **only** be used when: The file tested for is guaranteed to be generated before this Makefile is loade= d. When the file is generated by a dependency, this condition fails for rather obvious reasons. The only sure fire use for this construct is to test for a **system** file:= if /usr/sbin/mailwrapper exists, we can assume that filling mailer.conf is a useful exercise. The interpreter problem is definitely portmgr territory. I doubt that the WARNING issued by `Mk/Uses/python.mk` about mismatched versions ever trigge= rs in poudriere builds. Having forgotten about this bugreport, I've even made a case for this in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D212273= . The third case, I've not encountered anymore and probably has been eliminat= ed over time. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
