options.mk descriptions questions



Hi all,

I've been working on porting a neat editor called Quick Emacs (qemacs)
found in wip/qemacs and there are a few options that can be
enabled/disabled with the configure script. I've included them all in
an options.mk file and they appear to be working, however, upon
running pkglint I get warnings that certain options do not have
descriptions. This prompted me to think of a few questions that I
haven't found solutions for in the pkgsrc manual:

1. What is the general rule of thumb for configure options? For
   example, qemacs has options to use Xvideo, support plugins (for
   adding your own modes in), support render HTML in the editor,
   as well a tiny options that builds just the basic editor. Do I
   include all of those options as options in options.mk? Or do
   I enable/disable some -- and if so how do I pick?

2. The tiny option disables all other options and generates a very
   "basic" editor. Do I include this as an option or as a totally
   seperate pkgsrc package? i.e. editors/qemacs-tiny

3. If I have options that don't have descriptions in
   mk/defaults/options.description, how do I add them so the warning
   goes away?

Regards,

Kev
