Please add your own entries at the bottom of this file. If possible,
include the name of an example package where a warning should occur.
* fix false positive warnings
* ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM => NOT_FOR_PLATFORM
* -Wl,-rpath
* include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk" before using "+=".
* include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk" before any .if
* warn about the use of ${SED} in {pre,do,post}-install
* check for direct use of user names and group names
* Find a reliable, secure way to delete all CVS directories inside
${WRKSRC}. When that is finished, add a warning that using ${XARGS}
is insecure.
* warn about the use of ${WRKDIR:=...}, as this construct should only
be used with lists.
* record with each substring its source location to be able to make
even more precise diagnostics
* check wether CONFIG* override match, e.g. CONFIGURE_DIRS most likely
needs matching CNOFIG_GUESS_OVERRIDE and CONFIG_SUB_OVERRIDE as well
* warn about BUILD_USES_MSGFMT and related defines being used when
devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk is not explicitly included?
* Many of the checking routines need some context to provide better
warnings. For example, checkline_foo() may need to know what has
happened in the file before that line.
* Add checks for binary packages. See Debian/lintian for ideas.
* Check that USE_LIBTOOL=yes, when the PLIST contains *.la.
* Of the user-defined variables, some may be used at load-time and some
don't. Find out how pkglint can distinguish them.
