Hi all,
I maintain the Django CMS port (www/py-django-cms). I could use some
advice on the following problem both from other maintainers and from
other users of the ports tree:
Django CMS requires a database backend, which it accesses through the
Django web app framework. The Django port (www/py-django) doesn't
include database support by default. If someone naively runs "cd
/usr/ports/www/py-django-cms; make install", Django CMS won't work
properly because of the missing database drivers. The Django port does
have knobs for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, but those knobs don't
affect what bits of Django get installed. All the knobs do is add
databases/{py-psycopg2,py-MySQLdb,py-sqlite3} to the Django package's
RUN_DEPENDS. As I see it, I have the following options:
:
(c) I could add knobs to the Django CMS port similar to those found in
the Django port (i.e., add to RUN_DEPENDS if knob is set) -
functionally, it doesn't matter which port pulls in the required
database drivers. This is probably the most user friendly, in that a
single run of "make install" will result in a working version of Django
CMS.
I think option (c) is the best, but I'd love to hear what the community
thinks.
Option C would be the best, as the port depends on a database (MySQL,
PostgreSQL or SQLite).
I believe the following would work with the new options framework:
OPTIONS_MULTI= DATABASE
OPTIONS_MULTI_DATABASE= MYSQL PGSQL SQLITE
OPTIONS_DEFAULT= SQLITE
.include <bsd.port.options.mk>
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MMYSQL}
RUN_DEPENDS+=
${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}MySQLdb>=1.2.2:${PORTSDIR}/databases/py-MySQLdb
.endif
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MPGSQL}
RUN_DEPENDS+=
${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/psycopg2/_psycopg.so:${PORTSDIR}/databases/py-psycopg2
.endif
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MSQLITE}
RUN_DEPENDS+=
${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/_sqlite3.so:${PORTSDIR}/databases/py-sqlite3
.endif
:
:
.include <bsd.port.mk>

At a minimum, I would suggest to also include an applicable client in each
case as well, that is, if they aren't included in the software or the
dependency tree.
