So, I've been a NetBSD user for many years, and am looking more
at FreeBSD now. Trying to build myself a system, I find that I have a
long-held delta to a package on my NetBSD system, and I keep it
in a patch-local-* file in NetBSD pkgsrc.
I can't figure out if FreeBSD ports has a way to keep and automatically
apply "local" patches to ports. I want to modify the way the internals of
a package/port operate, and not in a way that makes sense to move up-
stream. It's just my preference.
Is there a way in FreeBSD ports to keep a "make this change to the
source code after extracting and before compiling" type of thing in the
tree?
Ports just has been transferred to subversion. With subversion you can
apply your patches to the tree and subversion will maintain them
notifying you on possible conflicts. I'm already using this one for the
patches to Mk that hasn't been committed for a long time.
