So, I made an attempt on my poudriere box, package builds -
powerdns-backend-sqlite3, just includes the .so and the schema in plist
however pkg says it conflicts. My interpretation from the handbook is
that the % option stuff in plist is only used if that option is
selected, so I can't see why powerdns (without any backends) and my
slave port would conflict... I used mysql server/client ports as a base:
Makefile :-
PORTNAME= powerdns
PKGNAMESUFFIX= -backend-sqlite3
COMMENT= PowerDNS sqlite3 backend
MASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../powerdns
PKGMESSAGE= mustnotexist
PLIST= ${.CURDIR}/pkg-plist
OPTIONS_SET= SQLITE3
.include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"
pkg-plist :-
%%LUA_LIBDIR%%/pdns/%%LUA_LIBDIR%%gsqlite3backend.so
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/dnssec-3.x_to_3.4.0_schema.sqlite3.sql
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/nodnssec-3.x_to_3.4.0_schema.sqlite3.sql
%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/schema.sqlite3.sql
#####
I also made powerdns port not have PGSQL set by default.
Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
