Re: Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
If anyone could improve the script please let me know. How about adding options? This patch [1] adds an option to specify alternative port root, an option to perform a dry run, and some usage printing.

Re: Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
And here [1] is a new version that does the same thing, but uses INDEX file instead of traversing the ports tree. It's quite faster this way (assuming your INDEX is up to date, maybe it's better to allow both algorithms?). Disclaimer: I did not test it properly. The thing that looks strange to me is that the original script appends main category to the name of port when symlinking. I copied that behavior for safety, but are there really naming conflicts in the ports tree?

Re: Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
I'll added your script to mine as a option. Yeah, I've done that too in the mean time, take a look: [1]. In that version both traverse algorithms share common linking code, it seems more maintainable this way. (I've added -w and -i to catch up with you, but the code overall is quite different, sorry about that). There's a question about the test for main category dir: if you use -w to specify a directory different than that of -p, a simlink $whereto/category/portname-category will be created. Maybe $whereto/category/portname would be the right thing in this case?

Re: Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
Attached is the Makefile from the port. In order to save space I'm not
attaching pkg-descr, or distinfo.

But either you have the script in ${FILESDIR} or you have to crate

Did you test what happens with all this idea when a port has a
.include ${CURDIR}..
?

Re: Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
Some random comments: - you really want to add usage [1] (-d is intentionally not documented) - when destdir does not exist the script should make one [2] - you really want to handle whitespace in paths [3] - there's no easy way to use an INDEX that is not under portsdir; I think that in -i you should specify a path, not a filename [4] (The patches should be applied in the listed order).

Automatically generate symlinks for virtual categories.
I made this shell script (portable sh) that will create a bunch of directories for all virtual ports (linux, perl, etc.). It puts a symlink for every port in your tree into the correct categories. For example it will create a kde directory with the akode-audio port pointing to /usr/ports/audio/akode. http://isis.poly.edu/~eitan/files/auto-symlink-virtual.sh At the moment it relies on make to determine what categories each port is in. This is somewhat slow but the only error-proof way I know how. If anyone could improve the script please let me know. It is released under the BSD-2-clause license. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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
