Fakeroot for ports new round
in [Ports]
|
From: Baptiste Daroussin on 17 Jul 2010 18:29 Hi all, I just send a new fakeroot patch for the ports (uptodate). Patch can be found here : ports/133815 the patch as begun as a port of the fakeroot implementation from midnightbsd ports system. What it does : basically it install everything in a fakeroot repository creates a package respecting the plist and only then installs it. currently adding USE_FAKE=yes in make.conf activates the feature. Some ports needs to be cleaned up to be able to works for example perl fails when creating the manpage for perl-after-upgrade.1. But most of them should just work Benefits : - currently porters have to do the *-install stuff twice one for the ports, one for the package. - some ports already uses fakes dir it would simplify them (firefox) - no more hacks to respects NOPORTSDOC NOPORTSDATA etc. - better QA : bad plist would be easily detected, no more crufts for end users - more focus on packages for QA for examples we could write tools to analyse them to be sure it respects the rules - better security : we could imagine to not allow ports to access anything that isn't in $WRKDIR like gentoo's sanbox or debian's fakeroot. disavantages: - overhead files a installed once of the fakeroot then a package is created and then installed. the could be reduced by adding the ability to pkg_add to copy files from a fakeroot respecting a plist like pkg_create does without creating the packages (for people who doesn't want packages) I think lot's of work can be done there to reduce the overhead. for a recall every modern packages system uses a fakeroot like features : openbsd's ports, pkgsrc, rpmbuilding, debian packaging with this feature I sure porters would benefit cleaner Makefiles and user would benefit better quality packages/ports. I need help finishing the patch because I just can't test everything. I also would like to get a clear statement on whether or should continue working on this (ie is there a chance that this could be accepted). regards, Bapt _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

You touch an awful lot of files under /usr/ports/Mk and only portmgr@ can approve these changes. -- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"
