-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Martin, for that purpose I maintain a git repository of patches, which are added/applied by the "ports" program. Then pkgmk and prt-get pick it up: https://git.eckner.net/Erich/crux-patches/ The patch for core/ports adds exactly this functionality, while the other three patched ports add functionality which I was missing. The idea is, that *.patch files are applied in the ports directory (e.g. a patch to the Pkgfile) and *.new files are simply added to the ports directory (e.g. new patches, that should be applied during the compilation). The system is not perfect, but for minor changes (e.g. adding an option in the Pkgfile) it's pretty straight forward. regards, Erich On Mon, 20 Jun 2022, Joacim wrote:
Hi.
If the configure script don't pick up on extra features and libraries on its own, I would maintain my own version of the port in /usr/ports/mine or similar. Custom ports should be listed by ports -d when the installed version of the port is older than what can be find in core/opt/contrib.

Hi there,
I wonder how you long-time CRUXers handle the case if a package from core/opt/xorg/contrib port does not suit your needs?
I read it is discouraged to create duplicate (local) packages but alternatives like installing local builds directly in /usr/local, /opt or ~/.local seem also suboptimal.
For example, I need sftp support in libcurl which needs linking against libssh. This is not configured in the official port. So I have to create my own solution and I want it to integrate as smooth as possible with the ports systems and keep CRUX's philosophy. What do you recommend?
Thanks for your input!
