NAME
portgen —
port modules on the fly
SYNOPSIS
portgen |
[-m makeopt]
type module-name |
DESCRIPTION
The portgen utility creates ports for the
given module-name from type
module framework. The module is downloaded, analyzed and translated into a
port. Any missing dependencies are handled recursively. New ports will land
under ${PORTSDIR}/mystuff. The PORTSDIR value will
be taken from current user environment, and defaults to
/usr/ports.
The options are as follows:
-mmakeopt- Pass makeopt to make(1) invocations while resolving missing dependencies, mostly useful with ‘FETCH_PACKAGES=’ to avoid building everything from scratch.
The portgen utility currently supports the
following type values:
p5- for Perl modules on CPAN.
ruby- for Ruby gems.
go- for Go modules.
A go module may be used with an
@version suffix to specify a tag or branch to port.
The default suffix is @latest, which is interpreted as
the latest release.
The following packages must be installed prior to the invocation
of portgen:
EXIT STATUS
The portgen utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
The following command will download the latest version of Config::AutoConf from CPAN, parse it and create a port for it:
portgen p5
