that is a purely user-settable variable to represent the relative
path under ${PREFIX} where info files are stored and "dir" files
are managed. PKGINFODIR defaults to "info". INFO_DIR still works,
but will be obsoleted after the 2006Q1 branch.
* Modify GNU_CONFIGURE_INFODIR to only honor ${PKGINFODIR} if the
package installs directly into ${PREFIX} and not some subdirectory
under ${PREFIX}. This fixes packages that don't really honor
$(infodir) all that well, and also avoids PLIST problems relating
to directory removal for those packages.
* Since the majority of Emacs Lisp packages use GNU_CONFIGURE, just
set GNU_CONFIGURE_INFODIR directly to ${EMACS_INFOPREFIX}, which is
the Emacs-distro-specific location for info files. Also pass
EMACS_INFOPREFIX through PLIST_SUBST for PLIST substitution.
* INFO_FILES should be defined if the package installs info files.
If the info files are not listed in the PLIST, then INFO_FILES
must list the filenames for the info files installed by the package,
which are assumed to be located in ${PREFIX}/${PKGINFODIR}.
* The plist module can now better detect info files listed in PLISTs
and exports a command to the pkginstall module to append info file
names to the +INFO_FILES scriptlet at install-time.
* The print-PLIST target is updated to properly list info files in
the auto-generated PLIST.
* The check-files code is updated to skip all "dir" Info database files.
list of ${PREFIX}-relative paths of directories that do *not* contain
info files. This allows avoiding the auto info-file-entry munging
that occurs for all PLIST entries that are in directories named "info".
for manipulating PLISTs. This module is not used by default pending
more widespread testing -- currently the variable _USE_PLIST_MODULE
must be defined in /etc/mk.conf to enable its use.
The main features of the new PLIST module are:
(1) Splits out the PLIST-handling code from bsd.pkg.mk into a
separate "plist" module.
(2) Splits out giant, multi-line awk scripts stored in make
variables into separate awk scripts that may be joined
together to post-process PLISTs. Each of these awk scripts
consolidates the processing for one set of files, e.g.,
man pages, info pages, etc., and is more easily commented
than a make variable.
(3) Splits out the print-PLIST code from the regular PLIST code
since they have no common pieces (print-plist.mk vs.
plist.mk).
(4) Completely re-implements the shared-library handling to be
more efficient. Along the way, this also fixes a problem
for Mac OS X users where the PLISTs incorrectly contained
absolute paths.
(5) Completely re-implements the info-file handling so that we
can migrate from INFO_FILES definitions to just adding
info/foo.info entries in the static PLISTs.
(6) Adds commented-out support for automatically compressed or
decompressed info page entries based on the value of MANZ.
These changes will be activated after texinfo.mk has been
replaced by something that is built using the more modern
primitives now available in pkgsrc.
(7) Move the file compression logic into a separate script
"doc-compress" that compresses or decompresses files while
minding symlinks. This script is now called by bsd.pkg.mk
to do the "autmoatic man page handling". In the future,
it will also handle the "automatic info page handling" and
possible others.
In general, the idea is to move stuff out of the Makefiles and into
separate files where we don't need to worry about quoting rules
and where each file can have a separate history of commits. This
simplifies the makefile logic (especially in terms of readability)
and also simplifies maintenance of the code.
