Hi everybody, One of my ports, archivers/linux-par2cmdline, uses a RPM that contains documentation, but does not (yet) handle the NOPORTDOCS option. An error is generated in Tinderbox and complains that documentation files remain on the filesystem after deinstallation. See : http://t64.tecnik93.com/logs/7-STABLE-FTP/linux-par2cmdline-0.4.log as reported by Itetcu. My port uses both the USE_LINUX_RPM facility and PORTDOCS variable. What happens is that passing NOPORTDOCS=yes to the port is ignored by bsd.linux-rpm.mk's do-install target which installs documentation anyway (as any other file). As I have also declared documentation files with the PORTDOCS variable, they are *not* deinstalled when using NOPORTDOCS=yes. So, I am a bit stuck since bsd.linux-rpm.mk does not seem to provide a way to handle that case... I see two options : - Override the do-install target and do things manually, which seems a bad idea since several actions are involved in installing linux files (brandelf, cpio, ...) - Do not use PORTDOCS option anymore and treat doc files as any other file, but this implies installing documentation files even if it has not been requested by the user. I could even use AUTOMATIC_PLIST for that... What would be the best option ? Would you have any other idea ? Ganaël LAPLANCHE ganael.laplanche@martymac.com http://www.martymac.com
