Annotation of wikisrc/pkgsrc/targets.mdwn, revision 1.8

1.1       asau        1: # pkgsrc targets
                      2: 
                      3: It was proposed that we document _all_ pkgsrc targets,
                      4: but this is unreasonable and useless.
1.6       asau        5: Most targets are ancilliary ones;
1.8     ! wiki        6: they exist because that's how [[!template id=man name=make section=1]] works.
1.7       asau        7: Only few of them are useful for regular work.
1.1       asau        8: 
                      9: The following targets may be useful to invoke from keyboard:
1.2       asau       10: 
1.4       asau       11: * "depends" to build and install dependencies
1.3       asau       12: * "fetch" to fetch distribution file(s)
                     13: * "checksum" to fetch and check distribution file(s)
1.1       asau       14: * "extract" to look at unmodified source
                     15: * "patch" to look at initial source
                     16: * "configure" to stop after configure stage
                     17: * "all" or "build" to stop after build stage
                     18: * "stage-install" to install under stage directory
                     19: * "test" to run package's self-tests, if any exist and supported
                     20: * "package" to create binary package before installing it
                     21: * "replace" to change (upgrade, downgrade, or just replace) installed package in-place
                     22: * "deinstall" to deinstall previous package
                     23: * "package-install" to install package and build binary package
                     24: * "install" to install package
1.3       asau       25: * "bin-install" to attempt to skip building from source and use pre-built binary package
                     26: 
1.4       asau       27: Cleanup targets (in separate section because of importance):
                     28: 
                     29: * "clean-depends" to remove work directories for dependencies
                     30: * "clean" to remove work directory
                     31: * "distclean" to remove distribution file(s)
1.6       asau       32: * "package-clean" to remove binary package
1.4       asau       33: 
1.3       asau       34: The following targets are useful in development and thus may be useful for an advanced user:
                     35: 
                     36: * "makesum" to fetch and generate checksum for distributed file(s)
                     37: * "makepatchsum" to (re)generate checksum for patches
                     38: * "makedistinfo" to (re)generate "distinfo" file (creating checksums for distributed file and patches)
                     39: * "mps" short for "makepatchsum"
                     40: * "mdi" short for "makedistinfo"
1.5       asau       41: * "print-PLIST" to _attempt_ to generate correct packaging list
                     42: (NB! It helps, but it _doesn't_ eliminate manual work.)
1.1       asau       43: 
                     44: For example, package updating looks like this:
1.8     ! wiki       45: 
        !            46: [[!template id=programlisting text="""
        !            47: $ su root -c "make depends clean-depends clean" # to catch new dependencies
        !            48: $ rm -f distinfo && su root -c "make makesum clean" && make makepatchsum
        !            49: $ make clean && make stage-install # build
1.1       asau       50: # modify patches
1.8     ! wiki       51: $ make makepatchsum # and build again, or
        !            52: $ make makepatchsum && make clean && make patch # until all patches apply, if they failed at first
        !            53: $ make print-PLIST | diff -u PLIST -
1.1       asau       54: # modify PLIST
1.8     ! wiki       55: $ rm $(make show-var VARNAME=WRKDIR)/.PLIST* # this deserves to be another target
        !            56: $ make stage-install
1.1       asau       57: # modify PLIST again or build again
1.8     ! wiki       58: $ make test # just to check for regressions
        !            59: $ su root -c "make package deinstall bin-install" # or
        !            60: $ su root -c "make package replace"
        !            61: """]]
