Hi guys,
What is the process for adding/submitting "meta" packages for ports for
example powerdns that have multiple backend options and the default
isn't suitable, or failing that have the ability to install powerdns
with default backend but allow the installation of others?
Currently the port defaults to postgres, in this case I'd like sqlite
backend for some servers (slaves), at the moment I'm just building that
manually but it does mean I can't just do 'pkg upgrade'
As I understand it, you want to create a custom "meta-port".
You might do well to have a look at some of the other meta-ports
available, for the best way to accomplish it for your needs;
x11/xorg
x11/xorg-minimal
x11/xorg-apps
lang/php5-extensions
are some that come to mind.
Best wishes.
This is what I'd normally do but I was hoping with the new pkg stuff we
could have some sort of virtual packages but this will do I guess!
Will need to read up on package building now - seems a bit silly to have
my own repo just for -mysql, -sqlite type packages though
