State Changed From-To: open->closed Fixed by renaming url_handler.sh to tinurl_handler.sh |
the ports/news/tin upstream tarball contains a number of scripts ins "./tools/" directory. some of them get installed without checking. in particular, even when defining "WITHOUT_TIN_METAMAIL", a script called "url_handler.sh" is installed, overwriting one from ports/textproc/urlview. furthermore, the tin version is much inferior, as commands to handle specific URL schemes ("netscape" for http in a ncurses-application?!) are hardwired. some perl scripts are installed without adding perl to RUN_DEPENDS. all scripts have shebang lines from the linux world: they contain "/usr/bin/" as the command prefix. the net result of all this: installed commands cease to work, the tin versions don't run on freebsd without tweaking. every time tin gets updated, i have to fix "url_handler.sh"! Fix: as there are RUN_DEPENDS lines for, eg. "metamail", which satisfy tin requirements, tin must not install its tools version of, eg. "url_handler.sh". instead, install those tools into local/libexec/tin/ or local/share/tin/, but make sure the shebang paths are correct. i, for one, have never used or needed any of the tools. also, do not install tools explicitly not wanted by the user specifying "WITHOUT_*" options. How-To-Repeat: after installing tin, try other applications using "url_handler.sh", or try any other tin-tools.
