I recently noticed that one of my ports had been modified by the previous committer. I had a pkg-message which was short and contained concise, minimal information. I also has a README file, installed in /usr/local/share/doc/... if the DOCS option was selected. The committer folded the README file into pkg-message, and I disagree with this: 1) It added far too much bulk to pkg-message. 2) It meant that an end user (without access to the ports tree) didn't have an immediate way to see the README contents. 3) The committer tacked the README file onto pkg-message without noticing that there was a %%DOCSDIR%% to be expanded, so that is how it appears in pkg-message. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
