Re: how to see order of make targets steps in ports tree?

Hello.

Various answers have already been given, however, here is a command that can produce interesting values on this.

make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg -V _TARGETS_STAGES
make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg -V _SANITY_SEQ -V _PKG_SEQ -V _FETCH_SEQ -V _EXTRACT_SEQ -V OMITTED_HEREAFTER:P

The -d option of make also displays some rather interesting things.

make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg -n -d g1

In addition, variables such as _USES_target can be used to add interesting behavior.
For example, in the patch phase, rewriting by replace_cmd may be performed in addition to normal patching.
It makes make makepatch not smart to use.
It can be stopped by defining the following targets. ...I think I wrote that somewhere before :)

_USES_patch+= 501:stop-patch
stop-patch: .NOTMAIN .PHONY
	false

I just don't know if it helps :)

Regards.
