Re: Moving mk.conf

[Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>]

What I've always done for multiple pkgsrc trees is:

in /etc/mk.conf

.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK
.  if exists(${.CURDIR}/../../pkgsrc.conf)
.    include "${.CURDIR}/../../pkgsrc.conf"
.  elif exists(${.CURDIR}/../pkgsrc.conf)
.    include "${.CURDIR}/../pkgsrc.conf"
.  elif exists(${.CURDIR}/pkgsrc.conf)
.    include "${.CURDIR}/pkgsrc.conf"
.  endif
.endif

To explain further, there's a file called pkgsrc.conf file in the
top-level pkgsrc instance which includes definitions specific to that
tree, like PKG_DBDIR, LOCALBASE, etc.  It's automatically called from
a central /etc/mk.conf.

I'm sorry if this is "the wrong way to do it", since no-one told me.
