>Environment:
System: FreeBSD nuuk.fillmore-labs.com 5.1-CURRENT
>Description:
port math/R-letter (and its slave port math/R-a4) installs
7801 data files in ${PREFIX}/lib.
hier(7) says:
lib/ archive libraries
libdata/ misc. utility data files
bsd.port.mk suggests:
# DATADIR - Name of the directory to install the packages shared data
# in (default: ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}).
When we are here, the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook says:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#PORTING-PKGNAME
The first letter of [PORTNAME] should be lowercase.
R-letter and R-a4 should be marked as conflicting (CONFLICTS=R-a4-1.*, CONFLICTS=R-letter-1.*)
>How-To-Repeat:
grep ^lib/ /usr/ports/math/R-letter/pkg-plist
>Fix:
Install the data files into ${DATADIR}?
