Re: About ports QA by 'port test'

Vladimir and other folks,

I've just looked at the logs for my ports. It's worth to notice that
portlint gives just wrong results. For example, for devel/boost-jam it
reports the following:

FATAL: Makefile: PORTVERSION or DISTVERSION has to be there.

(reported at
http://kemia.me.tut.fi/~chu/FreeBSD.port_tests/devel/boost-jam/test.log)

However, if you cd to /usr/ports/devel/boost-jam and type "make -V
PORTVERSION", then make prints "1.41.0". The same with MAINTAINER and other
variables reported as missing.

So don't take the reports too seriously. It's just a reminder to
double-check, not the facts.

Alexander Churanov,
maintainer of devel/boost-*
