Infrastructure problems which need addressing
=============================================
o bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
o split USE_GNU_TOOLS into USE_GNU_TOOLS and USE_TOOLS, where
USE_TOOLS can be used to require *known working* tools (be
they GNU versions on some platforms or not) while also being
able to require GNU tools. address problems with e.g.
yacc/bison (especially on Linux), the use of ${SED}, ${AWK},
etc., fix some assumptions about platforms. this could also
include full support for runtime dependencies on
tools.mk-provided pkgs.
Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
=============================
o Add a sort check to pkglint for PLISTs.
o Allow tokens in Makefiles, etc to silence pkglint WARNS.
e.g. # ABS_PATH could silence an absolute path warning
such as
WARN: possible use of absolute pathname "/usr", in Makefile.
o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
such environment variables.
o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
purposes including:
- MESSAGE files
- msgprint() messages
- CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
- OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
- User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
- /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
- pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
(Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
Suggested other platform enhancements
=====================================
o platform independent bulk build infrastructure
Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
============================
o Make packages install their configuration files under the
examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
o Deprecate LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE -- replace with appropriate
LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE
o Fix remaining packages to install documentation into
share/doc instead of share/gtk-doc (usually,
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc/html
does the trick; additionally, one might set
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-gtk-doc=no
to avoid a gtk-doc dependency if html documentation is
shipped with the package). Please fill in GNOME bug
reports if any of the packages do not honor these
configuration options and/or do not ship with pregenerated
html documents.
o Make packages utilize USE_X11 instead of USE_X11BASE if
there is no good reason to install them into X11BASE.
o Set USE_LANGUAGES appropriately in packages that use C++,
Fortran, or Objective-C so that the correct type of
compiler dependency is set.
o Deprecate USE_GCC_SHLIB by using USE_LANGUAGES appropriately.
o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
FOO_USE_* variables.
