Certainly, the form of dependency is:
depend_command_name:depend_port_name
Therefore, when depend_command_name is equal to depend_port_name
semantically, we can make better consistency of port's dependency.
But, some of emacs-lisp ports/packages which require one of emacsen port
have a version(XX.YY)-specific emacs-lisp.
Such ports are still broken.
Because we need to re-define major and minor version of emacs which
this port uses.
Then, I proposed the `editors/emacsen' port.
This port has some general variables for several emacses ports.
Variables are:
EMACS_NAME, EMACS_VER, EMACS_CMD, EMACS_LIBDIR, EMACS_LIBDIR_WITH_VER
These variables are prepared for every emacsen.
# Please see also editors/apel-emacs/Makefile.
This `editors/emacsen' port looks like bsd.port.mk.
# In short, this port is a do-nothing port.
Emacsen ports include this port's Makefile and bsd.port.mk
If editors/emacs20 was upgraded, it is enough only to upgrade
EMACS_VER for emacs20 in this Makefile.
ex.) Sample of 'editors/emacsen' port Makefile
.if defined(EMACS_PORT_NAME)
.if (${EMACS_PORT_NAME} == "emacs")
EMACS_NAME= emacs
EMACS_VER= 19.34
EMACS_CMD= ${EMACS_NAME}-${EMACS_VER}
# directory without ${PREFIX}
EMACS_LIBDOIR= share/${EMACS_NAME}
EMACS_LIBDOIR_WITH_VER= share/${EMACS_NAME}/${EMACS_VER}
.elif (${EMACS_PORT_NAME} == "emacs20")
EMACS_NAME= emacs
EMACS_VER= 20.3
EMACS_CMD= ${EMACS_NAME}-${EMACS_VER}
# directory without ${PREFIX}
EMACS_LIBDOIR= share/${EMACS_NAME}
EMACS_LIBDOIR_WITH_VER= share/${EMACS_NAME}/${EMACS_VER}
.elif (${EMACS_PORT_NAME} == "mule")
EMACS_NAME= mule
EMACS_VER= 19.34
EMACS_CMD= ${EMACS_NAME}-${EMACS_VER}
# directory without ${PREFIX}
EMACS_LIBDOIR= share/${EMACS_NAME}
EMACS_LIBDOIR_WITH_VER= share/${EMACS_NAME}/${EMACS_VER}
.elif (... other emacsen ...)
.
.
.
.endif
.else
NO_BUILD= yes
NO_INSTALL= yes
.endif
Do you think about my idea?
Thanks!
