* From: "R. Imura" <imura@af.airnet.ne.jp>
* I think, our ports' good point is each skeltons are independent and
* we can build many applications with very a few files.
* Yes, if no CATEGORIES in its Makefile, we can build with no problem,
* but if he really want in what category the port is, it requires a hole
* tree of ports. I just worry about it. (You know, master/slave ports
* are the out of this case)
I don't think that is much of a problem. As you said, you can still
build it. Also, if you (a human) just want to *know* what category
the port is in, it's in the $FreeBSD$ line. :)
* About PKGNAMEPREFIX, even if I don't have Makefile.inc, I will know
* PKGNAMEPREFIX from its CATEGORIES, because CATEGORIES is still in
* each Makefiles.
This is actually a bigger problem, because things like ko-Wnn will not
build right if they don't have the parent Makefile.inc (it branches
off PKGNAMEPREFIX). Also, if you install a port from outside the
tree, you can get an inconsistent package name entry in /var/db/pkg.
* There should be misunderstandings. :(
* I know well about first ${.CURDIR}../Makefile.inc, second
* ${MASTERDIR}../Makefile.inc is very important.
Ok. Well, if you all agree with that, then it's fine. :)
