Hi!
A few weeks ago I started using `refuse' files to avoid downloading ports I'm
sure I'll never need (languages I can't speak, for instance). Since then, if
I do anything recursive in the ports tree (a make readmes, for instance),
problems occur. The biggest one is with make readmes. IF I run that from
/usr/ports/www, where I `refuse' w3, I get:
[...snip...]
echo -n '<a href="'w3/README.html'">'"`cd w3; make package-name | sed -e 's/&/\&/g' -e 's/>/\>/g' -e 's/</\</g'`</a>: " >> README.html.tmp
cd: can't cd to w3
cat `cd w3; make -V COMMENT` | sed -e 's/&/\&/g' -e 's/>/\>/g' -e 's/</\</g' >> README.html.tmp
cd: can't cd to w3
[...snip...]
The problem seems to be here:
cat `cd w3; make -V COMMENT` | sed -e 's/&/\&/g' -e 's/>/\>/g' -e 's/</\</g' >> README.html.tmp
That's because the make gets executed in /usr/ports/www.
Couldn't we put an
if [ -d w3 ]
in front of any statement which could recurse? In fact, I noticed a check for
PORTSTOP, but I can't understand its use, nor find any documentation for the
various files in Mk.
Anbybody can provide any pointers into this?
TIA, bye,
Andrea
