variable so that at least the compat* NetBSD packages will honor it.
This allows the compat40 packages to find their distfiles, located under
LOCAL_PORTS/20071230.
"immediate" versus "lazy" evaluation of the value. Just explicitly
define a variable (COMPAT_PKG) that holds the value that's needed in
each of the compat* packages, and use it within Makefile.common.
This was an attempt to solve PR pkg/36863, but it doesn't look like
pkglint or lintpkgsrc understand this more straightforward variable
construction either.
may be defined after the inclusion of compat_netbsd/Makefile.common in
a package Makefile. This should fix the problem (reported in private
by Juan Romero Pardines) where the "-extras" packages did not have a
version number in PKGNAME.
of an emulated operating system. Instead of proliferating things like
SUSE_VERSION_REQD, NETBSD_VERSION_REQD, SOLARIS_VERSION_REQD, etc., a
package can say:
EMUL_REQD= suse>=9.1 netbsd>=2.0 solaris>=10
all in one, succinct line.
a separate emulator-opsys.mk file.
The emulator-opsys.mk file defines EMUL_DISTRO and the various *EMUL*DIR*
variables, as well as any opsys-specific variables.
Include this file within compat_netbsd/Makefile.common so that the
*EXEC_FMT variables (defined by the compat*/emulator.mk files) are
defined. This fixes the build of compat* packages.

pkgsrc/emulator/compat* and pkgsrc/emulator/netbsd32_compat* packages
to provide the necessary shared libraries to run dynamically linked
NetBSD binaries from the days of yore.
* Add some additional compat* packages for completeness:
compat15, compat20, compat30
* Modify the compat* packages so that "compatNM" only provides files
that aren't in "NetBSD-N.(M+1)". For example, compat12 only provides
files that don't exist in NetBSD-1.3.x, compat13 only provides files
that don't exist in NetBSD-1.4.x, etc.
As a result, if you are running NetBSD-3.0/alpha and want to run a
1.3 dynamically linked binary, there is an automatic dependency
chain that causes the following packages to be installed:
compat13, compat14, compat15, compat16, compat20
There are some deviations from this dependency chain on platforms
that have changed executable formats, e.g. i386, m68, sparc, etc.
However, in general pkgsrc will require that you have the necessary
COMPAT_* options in your kernel to match the installed compat*
packages. This restriction is an artificial one imposed by pkgsrc,
but allows for a single set of distfiles to be used on all versions
of NetBSD.
* Provide compat* package support for every supported architecture
of NetBSD. Verily, it is now possible to run 1.2 binaries on
NetBSD-1.5.3/pc532 by installing the compat12 package from pkgsrc.
Rejoice, one and all!
* The netbsd32_compat* packages mirror the corresponding compat*
packages for use by sparc64 and x86_64 to allow running 32-bit
binaries with COMPAT_NETBSD32 kernel support. The "extras" packages
supply the additional shared libraries from the corresponding release
of NetBSD so that the set of files in /emul/netbsd32 will be complete.
* pkgsrc/emulators/compat_netbsd contains infrastructure files shared
by all of the compat* packages.
