Every time I install a new system I have to scratch my head and say "yeah, what were those basic tools I need again?" These two metaports would help to address this problem, which I'm sure other people have. One is targeted to the audience of people who wish to install ports from source and then maintain their system; the other, more specialized, is intended for ports authors. These might be good candidates for a "start here" reference for those new to the ports collection and port maintenance. They might also serve to introduce more people to fastest-cvsup, pkg_cutleaves, libchk, and porttools, which IMHO would be A Good Thing. Fix: Note that this has been tested on both 4.x and 5.x -- the latter on a clean (jailed) system. How-To-Repeat: (n/a)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->linimon I'm willing to commit these if people think they are useful.
I think especially authoring metaport can be useful for ports people just like docproj metaport is useful for doc/www people. I think you want portlint in it too. -- Pav Lucistnik <pav@oook.cz> <pav@FreeBSD.org> I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design and sell shrubberies.
State Changed From-To: open->closed ports added.
