Hi all, Here is a patch to add a new feature I am willing to get for a while: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12603
What this patch does it basically prepend to PATH a new directory (inside
WRKDIR)
A user can control which binary will be found in the PATH of the build sequences
easily by adding
BINARY_RENAME= source target
This will create a sumlink in the WRKDIR/.bin directory:
${WRKDIR}/.bin/target -> source
The goal here to avoid patching a port which needs to use for example gsed
instead of our bsd sed
BINARY_RENAMe= gsed sed
of specify gcc will be gcc7, etc
This should remove lots of custom patches in the ports tree.
PS: this should break no port building tool :)
PS2: the BINARY_RENAME variable name sucks, any better name is welcome :)
Best regards,
Bapt
