Hello,
<please Cc me on correspondences>
I'm attempting to create a local port framework for my jails.
These ports do not fetch nor compile any files; they just
install(1) files from the base system. I wish to use ${PLIST} to
list all the necessary files for the jailed program(s). I'm having
problems figuring this out with the port framework.
I could do the following in the main Makefile:
${INSTALL_PROGRAM} ${BASE_USR_SBIN}/syslogd ${PREFIX}/usr/sbin
Which, to me, is ugly. I'd rather have a line entry in ${PLIST}
like the following:
--)pkg-plist:
usr/sbin/syslogd
and then have some install target (do-install?) do the dirty work.
I didn't find the dirty work hidden in bsd.port.mk, but my port
creation skills are about 5 hours old :-) Here's my working
Makefile (quite light, I know):
--)Makefile:
# jailed syslogd makefile
PORTNAME= jail-syslogd
PORTVERSION= 0.1
PORTREVISION= 0
CATEGORIES= sysutils
DISTFILES=
PREFIX?= /home/jon/tmp
MAINTAINER= jon
COMMENT= Jailed syslogd
NO_WRKSUBDIR= true
# Use for testing when not root - won't do mtree
#INSTALL_AS_USER= true
NO_BUILD= true
NO_PKG_REGISTER= true
# Let's not nuke the base files, mmmkay
.if !defined(BASEDIR)
BROKEN= You must define BASEDIR silly
.else
# BASEDIR logic
.endif
.include <bsd.port.mk>
