Not a problem.
Staging is basically installing everything into a staging area "${WRKSRC}/s=
tage"
before messing up the system. What most of package system calls DESTDIR or
FAKEDIR.
=46rom that stage a create can be directly created (even as a single user).=
or the
stage can be sync into the filesystem.
2 new targets can help you staging your ports: make check-orphans and make
makeplist.
You should have received 2 mails from me with some details about staging:
one called "[HEADSUP] Stage support for the ports tree"
and on called "Staging, packages and more" (very recent as of yesterday)
The following wiki page https://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir has been cr=
eated
for tips and helps around staging.
Do not hesitate to add new entries to the wiki page, if you need any help
staging your ports I can provide reviews.
