Bug 82759

Summary:	devel/sourcenav: Source navigator installs in wrong directory
Product:	Ports & Packages	Reporter:	Greg Lehey <grog>
Component:	Individual Port(s)	Assignee:	Alejandro Pulver <alepulver>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal

Description Greg Lehey 2005-06-29 03:30:19 UTC

	The port /usr/ports/devel/sourcenav installs in the directory
	hierarchy /usr/local/sourcenav, and the executable is called
	/usr/local/sourcenav/bin/snavigator.  This is a non-standard
	way to install, and there is nothing in the documentation to
	prepare the user for it.  As a result, most peopke will be
	unable to even start the program.

	In view of the fact that this bug means that the program can't
	even be started, I'm giving it the category "serious".

Fix: 

Install in /usr/local, not /usr/local/snavigator.  If there
	are serious reasons to keep the latter hierarchy, it should be
	well documented, and the documentation should be installed
	locally (maybe it is, but that fact it not documented).
How-To-Repeat: 	
	$ cd /usr/ports/devel/sourcenav
	$ make install
	$ snavigator
	bash: snavigator: command not found
	$ /usr/local/sourcenav/bin/snavigator
	(program starts)

>From a quick glance on pkg-plist, the port is installing it's own pieces
of tcl/tk/itcl so it can't be installed into /usr/local without damage
to real tcl/tk/itcl.

Like 'Do Notte Buye Betamacks.' That was a prediction for 1972.

This is true, but irrelevant to this bug report.  In fact, it appears
to be simply a statement of another bug.
