Description Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-12-15 01:51:14 UTC 
The attached port installs examples and has PORTEXAMPLES=*, but check-plist still prints the errors:

> ===> Checking for items in STAGEDIR missing from pkg-plist
> Error: Orphaned: %%PORTEXAMPLES%%@dir %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm1/tags
> Error: Orphaned: %%PORTEXAMPLES%%@dir %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm12/berger/data
> Error: Orphaned: %%PORTEXAMPLES%%@dir %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/extended/medical/dna/chem1/.settings
> ===> Checking for items in pkg-plist which are not in STAGEDIR
> ===> Error: Plist issues found.

With PORTEXAMPLES=* everything under %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/ should be auto-accepted as part of plist.

Same answer as PORTDOCS=*

What does that mean? Which answer where?
Closing without comment would cause much less frustration!  Outside FreeBSD such habits are widely known.  Ports is getting more and more distant to FreeBSD in many aspects :-( This is one which isn't acceptable IMHO.
