Description Matthias Andree 2004-03-19 19:10:14 UTC 
This patch is a convenience patch to allow broken port tools to continue
to go about their rotten business. It is issued without acknowledgment
of any obligation, in response to ports/64393.

The patch does NOT bump PORTREVISION as the change is invisible for the
port's or package's users. $FreeBSD$ is sufficient.

I also refute any "bug" with respect to the the porter's handbook's
pages referenced in ports/64393, my port has not written anything after
bsd.port.mk and portlint has nothing to complain about (only that it
can't figure "patch" is legal in a PATCHFILES variable).

Informational: tools that assume .include <bsd.port.[post.]mk> was the
last line in a port's makefile are broken. They should be comparing
the output of realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR) against the output of
realpath $(pwd) instead:

-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(pwd)
/usr/home/ma/db42
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR)
/usr/home/ma/db42

-bash-2.05b$ cd ../db42-nocrypto # switch to slave's port directory
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR)
/usr/home/ma/db42
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(pwd)
/usr/home/ma/db42-nocrypto
