This is a collection of patches for ports/Mk directory of FreeBSD
portstree, which I for some reason don't feel like submitting because
they are unfinished or are just concepts.
Each patch is stored in a separate branch, and (WARNING!) those
branches will be rebased onto upstream to avoid history pollution
with merge commits, so be careful if you clone/fork this repo.
Patches currently include:
cmake-no-extra-flags
prevents CMake from adding extra C/CXX flags when building
ports. We set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to either release and debug
based on WITH_DEBUG (and even if we don't do some software
force build type), and thus cmake adds "-O3 -DNDEBUG" or
"-O0 -g" acordingly. Ports/build systems should not tamper
with system compiler flags, however in this case it's not
a big problem so I doubt the patch is needed
install-as-user
when INSTALL_AS_USER is defined, places PORTS_DBDIR and PKG_DBDIR
in user's home (~/.ports, ~/.pkgdb), allowing user to use
ports system to the full extent without root privileges
local-patchdir
allows user to specify local directory with custom patches which
are applied after patches from ${PORTDIR}/files. This is hacky
and unsafe, as patches may break when the port is updated
show-configlog
if configure fails, displays its config.log, which is very useful
for debugging build failures. Whether to display config.log is
based on whether BATCH is set, and I doubt it's the best solution
(is there another varible which is set on pointyhat/in tinderbox?
or should we use e.g. VERBOSE_BUILD which is set there and which
also turns on VERBOSE more for cmake)
src_base
convenient way to show that the port uses system/kernel sources
(/usr/src). Checks whether source is present, allows to not hardcode
/usr/src and also compares source version with version of running
system (that is, not to accidentally build a module for another
kernel version)
stack-protector
allows to add -fstack-protector to compiler flags, optionally
in a manner similar to MAKE_JOBS
Some of these have been rotting in my CVS checkout since 2008, so may
be outdated or already (partially) implemented.
