Re: Portsentry 2.0 released

[Marcus Hufvudsson <mh%protohuf.com@localhost>]

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply and WIP to repackage Portsentry!

Regarding your patch: I believe you have downloaded the 2.0.2 release. 
This issue has been addressed in the master branch (but is currently 
unreleased). The CMakeLists.txt now uses the "GNUInstallDirs" supported 
by CMake, it looks like this:

--- snip --

include(GNUInstallDirs)

install(TARGETS portsentry DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_SBINDIR})

install(FILES examples/portsentry.conf DESTINATION 
${CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR}/portsentry)

...

--- snip --


Here's the full current version for your review: 
https://github.com/portsentry/portsentry/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

I realize NetBSD might not adhere to the GNU way in terms of paths, but 
I think it would be possible for your package system to override these 
paths or something? Let me know if this is something you can work with 
or if we need to come up with some alternative way to handle path 
resolution in NetBSD.

If this works for you, I could make an official 2.0.3 release in case 
you want a stable upstream reference in your package.

Best regards

Marcus
