Re: installing contrib/tsearch with a FreeBSD Port

I have been doing a lot of messing around with freeBSD ports lately.

As root :

cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7

make patch

find work -regex ".*\.orig" -delete

mv work orig

make patch

find work -regex ".*\.orig" -delete

{modify files under work/ to do what you want}

diff -ruN orig work |\
grep -v "^diff" |\
grep -v "^Binary files" |\
sed "s;orig/radiusd-cistron[^/]*/\([^[:space:]]*\);\1.orig;" |\
sed "s;work/radiusd-cistron[^/]*/;;" >files/patch-z-new

make clean

make

{test and fix files under work/ as nessary. You may have to make
install, and make deinstall}

find work -regex ".*\.orig" -delete

find work -regex ".*\.o" -delete

diff -ruN orig work |\
grep -v "^diff" |\
grep -v "^Binary files" |\
sed "s;orig/radiusd-cistron[^/]*/\([^[:space:]]*\);\1.orig;" |\
sed "s;work/radiusd-cistron[^/]*/;;" >files/patch-z-new

make clean

make

... and so on.

This is basicaly how I do it, the diff ... code makes a freeBSD patch
and puts it in with freeBSD's port patches as hopefully the last patch
to be applied.

I have used this method to fix broken ports supplying my patch to
freeBSD with success.

I have also used this type of method to build my own custom ports.

This method makes upgrading easier, all I do is ; backup my patch,
upgrade the port then "re-port" my patch as required.

Good luck.
