The README previously described `depends` as a space-separated
string. This is now changed to an array, which seem to be the
correct type used in the other Ports.
This adds an overridable pre_fetch method which is called from the fetch
method at the very beginning.
The pre_fetch method can be overridden in your package.sh script so that
you can do any necessary preparations before the fetch method is called.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
We now follow a common capitalization throughout the project:
./Ports/openssh/ReadMe.md
./Ports/python3/patches/ReadMe.md
./Ports/ReadMe.md
./Meta/Lagom/ReadMe.md
./ReadMe.md
This filename is still obvious enough to be seen immediately.
When removing and recreating the Build directory, it's quite annoying
having to edit/remove Ports/packages.db as the installer won't install
previously installed port dependencies again if they're still listed.
This problem is easily solved by just considering packages.db a
build-specific file.
This adds a separate Markdown document comtaining a table with all
available ports, including name, version number and website.
This should make it easier to get an overview of what's available or
learn more about ports one is not familiar with, as well as checking the
current version of each port (many are outdated by now, and the version
being hidden in the package.sh script doesn't improve that situation)
and spotting ports with no defined version (i.e. install from the main
branch), which can break easily and should be avoided.
Please keep this list in sync when adding or updating ports. :^)
Much redundancy is removed from package scripts with this system.
It also supports simple dependency management, uninstalling (through
BSD ports style plist files), cleaning up after itself (with clean,
clean_dist, clean_all commands), etc.
