Yesterday I committed net/hblock [r556099] after changing the patch to PLIST_FILES (instead of pkg-plist with only two files) against the suggestion of the submitter.The line in question is:

PLIST_FILES=bin/${PORTNAME} %%MANPAGES%%man/man1/hblock.1.gz


I made this change because it allows the port to build and install correctly in all combinations of OPTIONS.

With the use of %%MANPAGES%%% in PLIST_FILES one can selectively enable and disable the building of manpages.

The maintainer of net/hblock informs me about a problem with using %%MANPAGES%% in PLIST_FILES. I don't know why I did not notice the message from 'portlint -AC' before:

FATAL: PLIST_FILES: files cannot contain %%FOO%% variables. Use make variables and logic instead


Is it possibly correct to use %%MANPAGES%% in PLIST_FILES and only portlint can't handle it?

Is there an alternative to switching back to pkg-plist file?


Thanks in advance for clarification and maybe a suggestion for correct usage.

Regards,
Rainer Hurling
