Solved Bypass the mandatory tarball

G

gozizey

Hello,

How do I bypass the inevitable compressed tarball https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#slow-sources when using git based project ?

The use of Git allows to go back and forth and revert to the wanted commit which is supported according GH_TAGNAME.

Wrote a sample and incomplete Makefile that has to: fetch the git project, run the pre-* and post-* hooks, then run configure followed by make.

So far when trying to run bare make(1), the ncurses dialogue appears and allows me to choose which features the program will be compiled with, then the pre-* hook fetches the project, the post-* hook performs the wanted actions and finally make bails out with:

Code: 
===>  Found saved configuration for pinky-bar-1.0.0
===>  pinky-bar-1.0.0 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
Cloning into 'pinky-bar'...

=> wifiextender-pinky-bar-1.0.0_GH0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.

The sample and incomplete Makefile

.include <bsd.port.mk>

scripts/pre-fetch

Code: 
git clone 'https://github.com/wifiextender/pinky-bar'

scripts/post-fetch

Code: 
cd pinky-bar
chmod +x bootstrap
./bootstrap freebsd

I can add archive creation and compression commands to the post-fetch hook, but make bails out again.

No, as far as I know this is not possible.

Yes and no. When you do a make clean the work/ directory will be removed. So there's never anything left to 'update'.

GitHub supports downloading tarballs of arbitrary commits and the ports tree uses that service. Just set GH_TAGNAME to the commit/tag you want (this defaults to whatever PORTVERSION is set to) and regenerate distinfo with make makesum.

Actually there is a way with empty do-fetch and post-fetch hooks, then you can have your say with the pre-fetch hook.

Thanks, that did the trick.
