Somehow related, I was wondering if lack of md5sum and footprint files should be considered an error; I think it should. These files should be created only during packaging, but not when building packages from a published ports tree. Opinions?
Yes and (even if the port's source is fetched from svn/git/whatever during the build process) having an empty '.md5sum' seems more consistent than having no file at all. Could that be enforced on the pkgmk level? Say, having a switch that would make it fail in attempt to build a package from a port with no '.footprint' or '.md5sum'. That switch can be used by default in the prt-get.conf. Port maintainer would create port as usual, but the user would feel himself a little more safer. -- Mikhail Kolesnik JID: mike_k at jabber.org ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta
