Some rules of portrookies: Don't use the pserver checkout method, use cd /usr/ports; cvs -z3 -d:ext:dinoex@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/portrookies co rookies before adding a port, TEST IT: cd /usr/ports/rookies/<portname>; portlint -A cd /usr/ports/rookies; make checksubdir cd /usr/ports; make index add the port: cd /usr/ports/rookies cvs add `find <portname> -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print` cvs commit Makefile <portname> don't cvs import ports. Sorry, standard disclaimer. All rookies are required to have a PKGNAMEPREFIX that starts with `rookie-', so perl modules must have `rookie-p5-'. Otherwise FreeBSD rules apply. >> fetch http://portrookies.sf.net/categories.patch >> patch -p0 -d /usr/ports < categories.patch > > This patch might not be needed, Otherwise Categorie rookie would be illegal. > I use /usr/ports/current/<portname> I had to make up *some* name, and portcurrent? > i just create a "Makefile.local" in each port: > PKGCATEGORY?= current > PKGNAMESUFFIX?= -current > > and everything works fine! bsd.port.mk shouldn't like you CATEGORY. I chose PKGNAMEPREFIX, because it's easier to find in pkg_info. > you may add: dinoex@sourceforge.net! Welcome again. Current population: 2. I hope I didn't mess up the permissions, I'm not a SF.net wizard. Oliver
