History

espie 61d822e8d5 work-in-progress: new distributed ports builder. will replace old dpb once we're satisfied it works. some features: - no more waiting, starts building right away, the dependencies discovery process is just another job, - monitor display that makes it easy to know when jobs get stuck, or machines get down. - loads of logs, - locks that stay around in case of error, and that you can remove when the error has been fixed (dpb picks it up), - smart choice of which package to build, - can take into account previous build times, - builds on machines of differing speed, offloading "lighter" jobs to slower boxes. (again, ports is still locked for most people)		2010-02-24 11:33:31 +00:00

README

This directory does not hold ports, but rather stuff to help
with building specific ports, or with checking packages.

Better documentation will be written as this progresses.

Quick list of what exists, most useful stuff first

build/bundle-readmes: 
	Create README.html files and bundle them as one tar archive.

fetch/check-distfiles
	Heuristic to check the whole contents of /usr/ports/distfiles against
	all MD5 files in the ports tree.
	
package/check-dependencies
	Check dependencies for all packages in the current directory.
	Basically, verifies that the tsort in bsd.port.mk did their job.

build/find-build-order
	Used such as cat plist/i386 | build/find-build-order
	outputs a list of stuff that actually needs to be built to obtain those
	packages, in a suitable order for removing backward dependencies.

	Optional arg `build' or `run' to take only build or run dependencies
	into account.

	Major defect: tsort is not a stable sort, so find-build-order will
	rearrange the list it gets as input.

build/out-of-date
	Compare installed registered packages with INDEX, try to find out 
	of date ports.

install/make-plist
	perl helper for the make plist target.

templates/network.conf
	Distfiles configuration. Tweakable by the user.

db/user.list
	List of users and groups created by the ports (or that are advised
	to be added.

fetch/check-license
	Legacy script used by Marco to check the LICENSE files.

build/outdated-perl-ports
	Compare perl ports INDEX entries with the latest module
	versions available from CPAN.

templates/Makefile.template
	Template Makefile that may be of use when making a port.
