Delta Ports

This repository contains patches and files that overlay and modify the FreeBSD Ports Collection to create DragonFly Ports.

Note: This repository is not intended to be useful by itself. Scripts combine these overlays and patches to generate the final product.

Organization

• docs/
  DeltaPorts related documentation.

• scripts/
  Shell scripts to generate the final DPorts repository, as well as a copy of the Tinderbox hooks.

• ports/
  Contains subdirectories corresponding to Ports categories (e.g., audio, editors, devel, etc.).

  • /
    Subdirectory of ports/ (e.g., audio, editors, devel).

    • /
      Subdirectory of a category directory. Contains a mix of:

      • STATUS file

      • Makefile.DragonFly file

      • dragonfly/ directory

      • diffs/ directory

      • newport/ directory

      • STATUS

        • 3 lines:
          1. MASK, PORT, or DPORT
             • MASK: Port will not have a counterpart in DPorts (subsequent lines may be comments).
             • PORT: Port is derived from FreeBSD ports.
             • DPORT: Port was created from scratch.
          2. Last attempt: <version and revision of last build attempt>
          3. Last success: <version and revision of last successful build> (blank if never built successfully)

      • dragonfly/
        Functions like the port's files/ directory. Contains patches applied after those in files/, and may also contain files.

      • newport/
        Contains a Makefile, distinfo, pkg-descr, and other files for a port created from scratch. No files/ subdirectory; dragonfly/ is used instead.

      • diffs/
        Contains .diff files (e.g., distinfo.diff, pkg-plist.diff) to modify corresponding port files. All filenames must end with .diff.

      • Makefile.DragonFly
        Included after the Port Makefile. Used preferentially to Makefile.diff.

      • REMOVE
        (Optional, inside diffs/) Lists files to remove after copying the port from FreeBSD. This avoids creating a .diff solely to remove a file, saving time and improving robustness against upstream changes.

• special/
  Contains subdirectories (e.g., Mk, Templates) treated the same as a <portname> directory.
