I would like to get a "stub" keyword into MacPorts base, to make creating stub
ports easier and more consistent, and also to be able to programmatically
identify stub ports.
The default value would be "no". Stub ports could then set:
stub yes
This would be equivalent to:
supported_archs noarch
archive_sites
distname
use_configure no
build {}
destroot {
xinstall -d -m 755 ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}
system "echo \"${name} is a stub port\" >
${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}/README"
}
This could be used in the obsolete, perl5, php, and python portgroups and in
the handful of independent stub ports.
If I were writing a Tcl script using the MacPorts API, there should be a way
for me to determine if a port is a stub port.
Perhaps there should also be a way to identify stub ports on the command line.
