Description dewayne 2014-02-25 23:30:00 UTC
Setting the PREFIX to something other than /usr/local prevents both packages (openssl, monit) being built due to "missing" man pages.

Workarounds
1. Reverting openssl resulted in a built openssl package.  
2. Changing PREFIX from /usr to /usr/local resulted in both openssl and monit package success.
Suggesting that, during the package assembly, the documentation is expected under /usr/local.

---
For openssl, after cd /usr/ports/security/openssl && make -DBATCH package,
the compilation completes but the package is not built due to

Comment 1 Dewayne 2014-02-27 22:33:28 UTC
When using PREFIX=/usr, a workaround to the: tar stat failure to acquire
man pages into the package, is to add MANPREFIX=/usr.  Not a desirable
outcome but if the recency of the package is more important than having
man pages, this "works".

builds fine with non default PREFIX 

/usr/ports/current/openssl$ make package PREFIX=/usr/test 


The builds fails only when PREFIX=/usr: 

bsd.port.mk sets MANPREFIX 
.if ${PREFIX} == /usr 
MANPREFIX?=     /usr/share 
.else 
MANPREFIX?=     ${PREFIX} 
.endif 

With staging the manpages can not be found. 
If the port would use PREFIX instead of MANPREFIX 
the package wild build but the manpages wound not work. 

Before staging, the MAN* macros did handle that well. 

But PREFIX=/usr is not supported since FreeBSD 5.0 
openssl in /usr will needs lots of changes to work. 

Normal PREFIX: 

/usr/lib/libssl.a 
/usr/lib/libssl.so 
/usr/lib/libssl.so.6 
/usr/local/lib/libssl.a 
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so 
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.8 
/lib/libcrypto.so.6 
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so 
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so 
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.8 

If you install with PREFIX=/usr, 
you will have incompatible versions of the openssl libs your system. 
as "/lib/libcrypto.so.6" is not updated. 
This will cause applications to fail.

Thank-you Dirk, You're quite right.  Though I avoid those problems by
using a skeleton FreeBSD, where I don't build ssh, heimdal, hostapd,
named, ntp during a system build but rely upon packages from ports. 

Some time ago, I used to not build openssl, however subsequent geom_eli
versions pulled in some headers from the base openssl, requiring a
simple work-around.  More recently pkg_* and fetch need libssl or
libcrypto ...  but it is gssd that really upset the apple-cart (made
things difficult).

Yes many of the base applications use libcrypt.so.6 and less than 10 use
libssl.so.6.  Of the 487 ports that I use, the only port that require
these libraries is pkg.  The other ports build cleanly with
libcrypto.so.8 &/or libssl.so.8.  I'm probably fortunate that none link
to both lib{ssl,crypto}.so.6 and .8, but for those that do, maybe they
should be corrected?

Thank-you for your thoughts, you've reminded me what a nuisance this was
when I first took this path (of replacing base contributions with
packaged elements).   But there is some consolation that I regard an
operating system only as useful as the applications that it reliably
runs - the base elements of FreeBSD: Kernel, IO, network infrastructure,
device and memory management provide an outstanding base platform but
its the ports system that provides utility to businesses, and, with
timely revisions provides for more than just a fun experience; a genuine
business advantage. :) 

Unfortunately there is no luck involved, careful analysis and planning
is required.  And your choice of wpa_supplicant is a poignant example,
as it is at revision 0.7.3 (on FreeBSD 9.2Stable) while the latest
software is at revision 2.1
(http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog).  I would
probably use a port if it was available, because TLS1.2 is attractive,
though if the FreeBSD developers have left this software alone, its
precautionary to examine why more closely. ;)

Kind regards, Dewayne
