Regarding Makefile.inc:
--8<--
...
NO_TEST = Yes
do-install:
${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKDIST}/*.mmdb ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
chown -R ${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
-->8--
I would expect a Makefile.inc to set default values that can be
overriden from underlying ports, a la:
--8<--
NO_TEST ?= Yes
.if !target(do-install)
do-install:
${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKDIST}/*.mmdb ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
chown -R ${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dbip
.endif
-->8--
Regarding the PLISTs,
--8<--
@comment $OpenBSD: PLIST,v$
share/examples/dbip/
@sample ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/db/dbip/
share/examples/dbip/dbip-city-lite.mmdb
@sample ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/db/dbip/dbip-city-lite.mmdb
-->8--
Why use @sample here? Is that the way the old geoip database port
worked? I'm not strongly objecting but I'm not sure there's a point in
providing a user-editable file when there's no easy way to edit and
update it.
Except for this, the port looks good, lightly tested with my VPN
address and mmdblookup. ok jca@ with the points mentioned above
addressed.
