If case i.), we should add the following administrative files: ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DISTVERSION Case iii.) is the best way? And by this change, we want to add the upgrade to the current ports system. The following directives in +CONTENTS move to administrative files. - @name => ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+PKGNAME - @pkgdep => ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}/+DEPENDS_ON # If we need to remain @name and +PKGNAME, we do the above. :) "${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}" are listed in +REQUIRED_BY and DEPENDS_ON, # Or "(category)/${PORTNAME}/${VERSION}". When upgrading ports/packages, we must upgrading other ports/packages listed in +DEPENDS_ON and +REQUIRED_BY. --- shige <shige@FreeBSD.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
