Thank you ben! you have no idea how helpful the make and makeplist was = for me :) the issues was not with my Makefile but rather that I did not = understand what roll the pkg-plist had in the do-install process. I=E2=80=99= m all good now and my updated hadoop2 builds and install =E2=80=A6=20 Now I just need to figure how I can get this sent to upstream after some = testing on my end. > On Jan 8, 2015, at 3:02 PM, Ben Woods <woodsb02@gmail.com> wrote: >=20 > First off, since this is your first attempt to update a port, welcome! = There may be a slight hurdle to get over to understanding port basics, = but once you get there it is quite rewarding. >=20 > This resource is priceless, read it and refer back to it often: > https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html = <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html>; >=20 > Also, the great thing about ports is you can read all of the shell = scripts that are doing the work if you don't understand something (such = as copytree_share), by grepping through the files here: > /usr/ports/Mk/ >=20 > Lastly, the mailing lists do not have the formatting features of the = forums, so no need for the [FILE][/FILE] stuff. >=20 > I would say the most obvious thing for your port is the need to update = the pkg-plist file which lists ever file your port will install on the = system.
