Portfmt
Jul 20, 2023
Format FreeBSD Ports Makefiles
Portfmt is a collection of tools for editing, formatting, and linting FreeBSD Ports Collection Makefiles.
It comes with several tools
- portfmt formats Makefiles
- portclippy is a linter that checks if variables are in the correct order in a more comprehensive way than portlint
- portedit edits Makefiles. It comes with several commands
that can be used as a basis for your own port update scripts
- bump-epoch bumps PORTEPOCH or inserts it at the right place
- bump-revision bumps PORTREVISION or inserts it at the right place
- get lookup unevaluated variable values
-
merge Generic command to set/update variables while also formatting the updated variables properly and inserting them in the right places if necessary. Useful for merging output of other tools like make cargo-crates, modules2tuple, or make stage-qa. For example to mark a port deprecated
printf “DEPRECATED=s\nEXPIRATION_DATE=s” \ Abandonware 2019-08-15 | portedit merge -i Makefile
- set-version resets PORTREVISION, sets DISTVERSION or PORTVERSION
