Hi,
to all experienced porters: is there a best practice for installing a whole
tree of files in do-install?
I have encountered following patterns:
cp -Rp
tar -czf - -C ... | tar xzf - -C ...
pax -rw
INSTALL_DATA in a for loop (works only if you list all subdirectories (with
their subdirs etc.))
FreeBSD has the COPYTREE* macros for this purpose
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#install-copytree).
If there is such a recommended procedure would it make sense to provide
a similar macro in bsd.port.mk?
Best regards,
Ingo
There is this, found for example in games/polymorphable:
${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${PREFIX}/share/flare/mods/polymorphable
cd ${WRKSRC} && find * -type d -exec ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} \
"${PREFIX}/share/flare/mods/polymorphable/{}" \;
cd ${WRKSRC} && find * -type f -exec ${INSTALL_DATA} \
"{}" "${PREFIX}/share/flare/mods/polymorphable/{}" \;
