A couple of things about the port:
- you can just use plain SF instead of a long to type
${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}; moreover, plain SF/${PORTNAME}
and no MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR will work too and save you
one more line;
- share/examples/qjail in the pkg-plist is better spelled
as %%EXAMPLESDIR_REL%%; and its ${PREFIX}/share/examples/qjail
in the Makefile should really be ${EXAMPLESDIR}; also
you can consider using PORTEXAMPLES to use port's procedures
to install the examples and to avoid installing them when
NOPORTEXAMPLES is set;
- it is better to remove the commented DISTFILES, since
it is not needed thus just adds the visual clutter;
- pkg-descr is a way too chatty (in my taste); it can be
definitely stripped down to provide the idea about
what qjail is and the whole text can be put to the
project's Web site;
- you can put your rc.d script into USE_RC_SUBR inside
the Makefile; just put your scripts into WRKDIR during
the build phase; this will enable your port to survive
any modifications to the process of installation of
the rc.d scripts, because they will be handled by the
ports subsystem;
- pkg-message can be stripped down as well: first line
looks redundant, since people already know why they
had installed the port; the other two lines, perhaps,
can be condensed into "Read qjail-intro(8) for to get
started." The said manual page has reference to the
qjail(8), so people will know what to do after reading
the introduction.
And please, please, please, try to put your shar(1) archive somewhere
to the Web and add the link to the PR: mail over gnats if not
uuencoded properly makes attachments with partial quoted-printable
stuff left, so download of, for example,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?prp=148777-3-shar&n=/shar-3.sh
will give a non-working shar(1) archive for starters and when '=0A='
will be removed, one will need to dance with the QP '=' characters,
newlines and alike.
May I also add, your software's manual pages can be improved:
- don't insert empty lines into the groff files, use the
lone dot if you want the visual separator inside the
groff sources;
- use standard macros like .Pa, .Xr, .Nm, .Qq and others
instead of doing bold font, quoting and other stuff by hand;
- avoid unneeded usage of the bold attribute; for example,
qjail-intro(8) needs no bold for the "4th generation",
"user friendliness" and other stuff;
- start each sentense inside the manual source from the
new line: this will provide two spaces between sentences
in the formatted manual pages and will ease the diffs
between revisions of the makefile (for you and other
developers of the qjail, because this way changes in the
manual pages will show up in the diff output only inside
their own sentenses; they won't have the parts of other
sentences in the + and - lines and that's good);
- you have many trailing spaces; whilst they typically do
not harm, why to keep them?
And for the qjail scripts themselves:
- currently qjail is a single block with no subroutines;
it _may_ be better to split it into logical parts,
because it will be easier to read, navigate and understand
for Other People (TM) ;))
- perhaps you'll be able to use exit codes from sysexits(3).
- what does jail2 rc.d script? It terribly reminds me
/etc/rc.d/jail and diffing the two one finds mostly
cosmetic differences. So, what's the point of having
jail2 at all?
Sorry for a long letter and slightly mentorish tone: meant
no offense, just wanted to improve the stuff.

WOW Eygene Ryabinkin you sure missed the point of my post.
Your forensic investigation of my port is far outside the review of the make
file to commit the port.
So lets get back on task.
Scrubbing through your email content I only see you voicing your personal
preferences without any makefile statement errors, which would make the
Makefile invalid. This is a very simple Makefile so lets not make a mountain
out of a molehill. The port description is within the max size and is very
detailed on purpose. I plan to keep it that way.
The whole point of the post is that I am not a port Mak
FreeBSD Port: mysql-server-5.5.9
I have been using mysql since fbsd 7.2 and always just issued the mysql_install_db command on the command line to create mysql's control databases and it always worked fine. But now with fbsd 8.2 I get the following error and have no idea why. I installed using pkg_add -r mysql55-server command. I see that 3 weeks ago you updated the mysql55-server port from mysql 554 to 559. I believe there is an error in your update causing the mysql_install_db command to error out. The error message follows. # /usr/local/bin >mysql_install_db --user=mysql or #root >mysql_install_db --user=mysql FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. * end of error msg. # /usr/local/bin >locate my_print_defaults /usr/local/bin/my_print_defaults As you can see the script the error message says it can not find is really in the same location as the mysql_install_db script, so it should have found it. I ended up pointing to the 8.1 packages with the pkg-add command to install and then the mysql-server5.5.4 mysql_install_db command ran from the command line without any errors. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

If you have constructive feedback surely someone will listen to it. Spitting your frustration is not likely to help. Do note that we have a lot of maintainers which try to satify each and everyone of us, sending messages like this is not going to help *you*. I would have a strong opinion -against- people uploading towarsd the FTP server directly. That will not be done. . To give you a better understanding; We have a ports-cluster which builds packages and uploads them to the appropriate place on the FTP servers, sometimes that takes a little to become available, donate more facilities so that we can do that better. Also note that QAT (a ports tinderbox) runs periodically to make sure every thing is just fine!

Well if you have this cluster build process why have some ports never been built all the way back to release 5.0 like kdenetwork-kopete-0.12.8. That is almost 3 years of waiting to get in the cluster build process. I am grateful to the maintainers for the great job they do, but completing the job by building the package is such a small additional task in light of they already have everything in place to build the package. Posting a email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or posting a bug report about package missing does not get the missing package built. Its just considered as background noise.

Missing > packages increases user frustration level and makes FreeBSD look like its > being mis-managed. It is not port managers who create or upload packages. Most of them do not even have access to the package server. The downloadable packages are built and uploaded automatically by a cluster of servers that do little else. If a particular port does not have a corresponding package it is generally not due to laxness on anybodys part. The main reasons why a port might not have corresponding package are: 1) The port has just been created and the package hasn't had time to built yet. Normally a very temporary situation. 2) Legal restrictions. There are several ports where it is simply not legal for the FreeBSD project to distribute the corresponding binary packages. 3) The port is currently broken and cannot be built. (This is of course a bug which should be fixed as soon as possible. For ports without a maintainer that might take a while.) 4) One or more of the dependencies of the package is not available as a package. (If port A depends on port B, and there does not exist a package for B (for any of the reasons listed here) there will not be a package of A either. > > An alternate solution to this problem is to allow users to upload missing > packages to the package server direct or to a staging ftp server so port/pkg > management staff can review first and them populate the production package > server.
