hi there, i am working on a package that is a collection of more packages and other 3rd party files. it is analoguos to a kde or gnome metapackage that basically just installs all the application and their dependencies (libraries).
i am trying to put together a context minimals port, which is basically a minimal tex distribution. it needs pdftex, luatex, xetex, and other programs that do not have standalone openbsd ports as i write this. they exist in texlive but having texlive as a dependecny would just make this port useless. actually, texlive would be a conflicting package (nothing personal Edd :-) these packages (e.g. engines) are not really useful on their own (that's why they are in texlive and seperated). so in this case, the port Makefile would really be nothing else but a recipe how to download, compile and install all these programs and files. is there an example for this in the ports tree i could study? for example it is not clear to me, what DISTNAME should be in a case like this, because there is no DISTNAME file to download in the first place. -f -- and then the tapes arrived. and my heart was lifted.
