Return to README CVS log

Up to [local] / ports / infrastructure

correct path to package/check-dependencies and install/create-user is gone
ok sturm@

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build/out-of-date
	compare installed registered packages with INDEX, try to find out 
	of date ports.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

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

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build/outdated-perl-ports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
