Bootstrap Port

[Glenn Sieb]

Apologies to Christian--I thought I'd bring this back onlist, since 
others may have better suggestions...

Best,
G.

I'd use them as a starting point to creating your own custom port!

Look at the Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=    acroread:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread5 \
                bash:${PORTSDIR}/shells/bash2 \
                cdrecord:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/cdrtools \
                dos2unix:${PORTSDIR}/converters/unix2dos \
                emacs:${PORTSDIR}/editors/emacs20 \
                fetchmail:${PORTSDIR}/mail/fetchmail \
                grip:${PORTSDIR}/audio/grip \
                gimp:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/gimp1 \
                gv:${PORTSDIR}/print/gv \
                gpg:${PORTSDIR}/security/gnupg \
                ispell:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/ispell \
                startkde:${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde3 \
                mutt:${PORTSDIR}/mail/mutt \
                mozilla:${PORTSDIR}/www/mozilla \
                ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/postfix:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix \
                xtset:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xtset \
                xmms:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/xmms \
                xv:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/xv

See how that works? You want bash? Then have it depend upon a file, in 
this case, bash, and if it doesn't find it (after the :) put the portdir 
where bash lives...

So if I wanted to install, say, postfix, I'd put this in:

${LOCALBASE}/sbin/postfix:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix \ (the \ 
indicates--this line continues to the next line..)

If I wanted amavisd-new:

${LOCALBASE}/sbin/amavisd:${PORTSDIR}/security/amavisd-new \

etc...

Have fun!!!!
Best,
Glenn
