All the names of
pkg-* files
are defined using variables so you can change them in your
Makefile if need be. This is especially
useful when you are sharing the same
pkg-* files
among several ports or have to write to one of the above files
(see writing to places other
than WRKDIR for why it is a bad
idea to write directly into the
pkg-*
subdirectory).
Here is a list of variable names and their default values.
(PKGDIR defaults to
${MASTERDIR}.)
| Variable | Default value |
|---|---|
DESCR | ${PKGDIR}/pkg-descr |
PLIST | ${PKGDIR}/pkg-plist |
PKGINSTALL | ${PKGDIR}/pkg-install |
PKGDEINSTALL | ${PKGDIR}/pkg-deinstall |
PKGMESSAGE | ${PKGDIR}/pkg-message |
Please change these variables rather than overriding
PKG_ARGS. If you change
PKG_ARGS, those files will not correctly be
installed in /var/db/pkg upon install
from a port.
