you have a Makefile without one.
(2) Fix case when user had DISTDIR defined elsewhere and DIST_SUBDIR
is also defined. (Submitted by: max)
(3) Add several popular master sites as variables. For instance,
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB is defined to be a list of X11R6 contrib sites,
which you can set MASTER_SITES to in your Makefile if you just
want ftp.x.org or any of the mirror sites.
There is also a new variable, MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR, to specify which
subdirectory of the master site your tarball is located.
One nice thing this enables the user to do is to define the
nearest mirror site in /etc/make.conf. This is especially useful
for continents without a full FreeBSD master site.
Eventually, we will probably split this into a separate file
(bsd.port.sites.mk?), and add some more sites from all corners of
the world.
Right now, XCONTRIB, GNU, PERL_CPAN, TEX_CTAN, and SUNSITE are
supported.
(4) COMPRESS_MAN command alias is replaced by MAN[1-9LN] variables.
You just say "MAN1=foo.1 bar.1" and the make rules will
automatically compress it for you if necessary. (Idea by: obrien)
(5) New "distclean" target to delete distfile too. (Submitted by:
obrien)
(6) Chained dependency cleaning, can be turned off by NOCLEANDEPENDS.

(1) The new NO_CDROM Boolean variable means "don't put the distfile/
package on the CDROM you're going to sell". It will basically
turn off everything if FOR_CDROM is set.
Many of the NO_PACKAGE ports are actually "don't sell for profit"
types, which we shouldn't have any problem distributing via ftp.
(2) The new RESTRICTED Boolean variable means don't build this unless
you know what you are doing. It doesn't have any effect unless
NO_RESTRICTED is also set.
(3) BROKEN means this port is broken. At least it will now show up in
INDEX and README.html, and give people more incentive to fix (I
hope).
RESTRICTED and BROKEN are expected to replace the pseudo-targets
in parent Makefiles. (The RESTRICTED and BROKEN list didn't do
anything before, they were solely for grepping purposes.)
(4) The Motif support brings in four new variables: REQUIRES_MOTIF,
which the porter sets for ports that require Motif to build;
HAVE_MOTIF, which the user sets to indicate the system has Motif;
MOTIF_STATIC, which the user sets to indicate that the static
libXm, instead af the default dynamic library, is to be used; and
MOTIFLIB, which is set to "${X11BASE}/lib/libXm.a" or
"-L${X11BASE}/lib -lXm", depending on whether MOTIF_STATIC is set.
The porter is expected to replace all occurrences of libXm in the
{Im,M}akefiles with ${MOTIFLIB}, and this will allow both dynamic
linkage (for users with Motif) and static linkage (for those who
build packages to be used by those withot Motif, i.e., me ;)
automatically.
Original Motif support idea by: graichen

these kind of things is to shove it down their throat.... ;)
Anyway, here's a set of changes required for auto-generation of READMEs
in ports directories. Necessary changes and additions of templates
to the ports tree will follow shortly.
Eventually I'll commit all the generated READMEs to the tree, but that
will be in the rather distant future. For now, I encourage anyone
with a -current systam and a matching ports tree to do a "make readmes"
at the top level and see what they get.
Next step will be to add pkg/{COMMENT,DESCR} to all the categories.
which has been in the tree for a much longer time.

counterpart to X11BASE (default "/usr/X11R6").
Now PREFIX is set to ${X11BASE} or ${LOCAL_PREFIX} depending on
whether USE_IMAKE or USE_X11 is set or not.
This enables us to refer to non-X ports from X ports using
${LOCAL_PREFIX}, thus removing most of the remaining "/usr/local"s
from the ports tree.
This will also allow the system administrator to move the whole
"local" tree to somewhere else, without affecting X ports. (Of course
not all ports are necessarily happy with that, but we're working on
it.)
Based on: an idea that came up while I was watching a football game
several months ago ("hey, maybe I can move that sideline
without disturbing the other!")
"foo", what this does is:
(1) Put all distfiles and patchfiles in /usr/ports/distfiles/foo
(2) Go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/foo when the
master site is down
When your port has a lot of dist/patchfiles, or has a file that does
not have a very port-specific name (e.g., "Makefile"), set this
variable instead of redefining DISTDIR. (If you redefine DISTDIR, (1)
will work but (2) will not.)
Agreed that it's a good idea by: adam
(Sorry Jordan, but your other idea (${CATEGORIES}) was a major hit.)
Also remove the keyword field in the INDEX line and replace it with
two columns: build-time dependencies and run-time dependencies. They
are both list of package names (minus the ".tgz").
(1) people can have weird paths and it will still work, and
(2) if you really need to use /usr/local/bin/cp instead of /bin/cp,
you can do that by changing only one line.
