Yesterday I committed net/hblock [r556099] after changing the patch to
PLIST_FILES (instead of pkg-plist with only two files) against the
suggestion of the submitter.The line in question is:
PLIST_FILES=bin/${PORTNAME} %%MANPAGES%%man/man1/hblock.1.gz
I made this change because it allows the port to build and install
correctly in all combinations of OPTIONS.
With the use of %%MANPAGES%%% in PLIST_FILES one can selectively enable
and disable the building of manpages.
The maintainer of net/hblock informs me about a problem with using
%%MANPAGES%% in PLIST_FILES. I don't know why I did not notice the
message from 'portlint -AC' before:
FATAL: PLIST_FILES: files cannot contain %%FOO%% variables. Use make
variables and logic instead
Is it possibly correct to use %%MANPAGES%% in PLIST_FILES and only
portlint can't handle it?
Is there an alternative to switching back to pkg-plist file?
Thanks in advance for clarification and maybe a suggestion for correct
usage.
Regards,
Rainer Hurling
