Hi all,
The work will now begin to have a very long due feature in the ports tree.
Every sane package system are working with a stage directory support, this =
is
almost mandatory to have something clean.
That allows you to :
- be able to process anything but installation as a user (long
term goal)
- be sure to always have clean plist
- prevent crufts from behing installed
- create a package without having to install it
- many many more
I see it in 5 steps:=20
1/ create USE_STAGE which can be set to yes or no, no being the default.
2/ switch this to default on no
3/ create a USE_FAKEROOT (using security/fakeroot or a like) for ports that
needs it
4/ drop support for non staged ports
5/ be able to sandbox all the built into the ${WRKSRC} (capsicum)
I have started a wiki page for that.
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir
Please join, share your ideas, willing etc.
Please note that this doesn't concern yet sub package or flavours, both will
come later!
regards,
BApt
