# Project Context: FreeBSD ports ## General Instructions - Individual port directories are under category directories: {category}/{port directory} - In order to perform operations on an individual port you need to change directory into this port. - In every port's directory there is a Makefile. - WRKDIR of every port can be determined by the command 'make -V WRKDIR' - WRKSRC of every port can be determined by the command 'make -V WRKSRC' - When any port is updated, the distinfo file can be regenerated using the 'make makesum' command. - Any port can download and extract the source files using the 'make patch' command. - Working directory can be removed (cleaned) using the 'make clean' command. - PORTREVISION should be removed when DISTVERSION or PORTVERSION is updated. - Any FreeBSD package that is needed can be installed using the command 'sudo pkg install -A {package name}'. - In case if any work* directories are present in the port directory before the port update such directories should be removed by the 'make clean' command. - The USES variable in port's Makefile defines what type of port this is. - When USES contains the word 'gmake' this is a port that is built using GNU Make (using the the gmake executable). - When USES contains the word 'cmake' this is a port that is built using cmake. - When USES contains the word 'python' this is a Python based port. - When USES contains the word 'cargo' this is a Rust based port. - When USES contains the word 'cabal' this is a Haskell based port. - Port uses GitHub to fetch distfiles if it has the USE_GITHUB=yes line. - Every port has a maintainer, maintainer's e-mail address is in the MAINTAINER variable. ### Instructions for ports that use GitHub to fetch distfiles - GitHub account name of such ports is in GH_ACCOUNT, or otherwise PORTNAME is used as an account name. - GitHub project name of such ports is in GH_PROJECT, or otherwise PORTNAME is used as a project name. - The GitHub git URL is constructed as https://github.com/{GH_ACCOUNT}/{GH_PROJECT}.git - The latest released version of a git URL can be determined using the command '../../Tools/scripts/git-get-latest-remote-version.sh {Git-URL} {DISTVERSIONPREFIX}' ### Instructions for Python based ports - The latest released version of the software can be determined using the command '../../Tools/scripts/pypi-get-latest-version.sh {python project name}' - Dependencies need to be updated when the port is updated. They need to be compared with the dependency requirements set in the project. - setuptools build dependency should never be added to BUILD_DEPENDS, and instead the distutils element should be present in USE_PYTHON. - numpy dependency should be added as ${PYNUMPY} instead of the usual syntax. No version information should be added in this case. - pillow dependency should be added as ${PY_PILLOW} instead of the usual syntax. No version information should be added in this case. - The cython build dependency should never be added to BUILD_DEPENDS. Instead, the cython element should be added to USE_PYTHON for cython dependencies of versions 1.x or 2.x, and the cython3 element should be added to USE_PYTHON for cython dependencies of versions 3.x - Do not add upper version limits for Python based ports. - Always replace exact version comparison in dependencies with >=. ### Instructions for Haskell based ports - Directories of all Haskell ports have the prefix "hs-". - The latest released version of the software can be determined using the command '../../Tools/scripts/haskell-get-latest-version.sh {haskell project name}'
