I have long had the following in mk.conf: DEPENDS_TARGET= package UPDATE_TARGET= package But, with DESTDIR support enabled, this doesn't do the right thing because a package is built but not installed, and then one gets a hard-to-follow message about stale work directories. So, obviously we need some target that conveys both that the package should be created and that the package should be installed. The guide says that package-install does this in the DESTDIR case. Fortunately it also does this in the non-DESTDIR case (even if that isn't documented), so it's ok to just set that as the value. Should a DEPENDS_TARGET value of 'package' be an error in the DESTDIR case? Or perhaps it should be a warning and then treated as package-install, because in depends processing not installing a package makes no sense.
