Hello, portmgr discussed releasing a lot of files in Mk/ to the general public (i.e. you) a few weeks ago. This is to encourage people to work on this kind of infrastructure, make it less exclusive to portmgr and perhaps make it feel less scary. The first change, https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34936, has just been committed as https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=767d81e1296a49573aaa24dfc9677f801fddc6d4
Documentation on these infrastructure files might be lacking somewhat at the moment. This documentation should describe the rationale and possible pitfalls. Portmgr is looking for a way to do this properly. Portmgr does reserve the right to revert commits in case too much things break with a commit to Mk/ . Things that could be worked on are: - converting Mk/bsd.X.mk to USES=X - adding more triggers to prevent duplicated actions while (de)installing or upgrading multiple packages at once - <your idea here> Regards, René on behalf of portmgr
