Recent portupgrade versions no longer obey the -M command line switch,
i.e. any optional arguments to be prepended to each make command.
How to reproduce:
# portinstall -M "APACHE_HARD_SERVER_LIMIT=1024" www/apache13
Everything work file. Use -m for getting what you want.
For www/apache13 the -m switch could give the same result as -M would,
but I'm not sure whether it's not just a coincidence. The -m switch was
supposed to serve a different purpose:
-m
--make-args Specify arguments to append to each make(1) com-
mand line.
-M
--make-env Specify arguments to prepend to each make(1) com-
mand line.
I tried testing another port where I used both:
# portinstall -M 'WITH_SYSLOG_FACILITY=local5' -m '-DWITHOUT_IPV6'
mail/courier-imap
With portupgrade-2.0.1_1,1 (the stock 6.1-RELEASE package) it worked.
With portupgrade-2.1.3.2,2 it failed (ignoring the -M part like for
www/apache13 before).
Then I joined both in one -m switch:
# portinstall -m 'WITH_SYSLOG_FACILITY=local5 -DWITHOUT_IPV6'
mail/courier-imap
and the latest portupgrade-2.1.3.2,2 did it just fine.
So, like you suggested, the -m switch seems to cover the functionality
that -M used to provide. I'm not sure however whether this "prepend to
append" conversion would work for all ports. But for these that I use it
appears to work, so I have no problem and will update my scripts to use
-m only.
The no longer working (obsolete?) -M switch would need to be removed
from the man page though.
Thanks,
Atanas
