Fwd: MATE Desktop.

[Jeremy Messenger]

I am forwarding my email from our private list to here to let you know
about that I have begun work on MATE Desktop. If anyone have any good
idea, feedback, improvement or whatever. Feel free to input about it
and I will see what I can do with bsd.mate.mk or so.

Also, I will remove the referencehack because it was too ugly even
though it works awesome. I prefer to do it in a clean way, but I do
not plan to work on it which is why I will remove it. Same for remove
${HAVE_GNOME:Mfoobar} feature because of lacking use OPTIONS and
confusing for the users.

Cheers,
Mezz

Hello team,

I have put the GNOME 3.4 on halt because of that glib's thread/mutex
stuff. I have started work on MATE in about 30 minutes ago and it was
easy so far. I have created (actually, repocopy) three ports. The
MATE's tarballs do not have configure, which it's just autogen.sh. I
have created USE_MATE=autogen to make it easy.

---------------------
devel/gnome-common -> devel/mate-common
textproc/gnome-doc-utils -> textproc/mate-doc-utils
devel/ORBit2 -> devel/mate-corba
---------------------

Here's what mate-common's Makefile looks like:

---------------------
PORTNAME=       mate-common
PORTVERSION=    1.2.2
CATEGORIES=     devel mate
MASTER_SITES=   MATE
DIST_SUBDIR=    mate

MAINTAINER=     gnome at FreeBSD.org
COMMENT=        Common automake macros for MATE

USE_XZ=         yes
USE_MATE=       autogen
USE_GMAKE=      yes
USE_AUTOTOOLS=  aclocal:env autoconf:env automake:env
GNU_CONFIGURE=  yes
---------------------

The mate-corba's Makefile. A more MATE port might have the gtk-doc in
the build time because of 'GTK_DOC_CHECK([1.0])' in the configure.in.
I don't see any reason to patch to remove it.

---------------------
PORTNAME=       mate-corba
PORTVERSION=    1.2.2
CATEGORIES=     devel gnome
MASTER_SITES=   MATE
DIST_SUBDIR=    mate
[...]
BUILD_DEPENDS=  gtkdoc-check:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/gtk-doc

USE_XZ=         yes
USE_MATE=       autogen common hack ltverhack
USE_GMAKE=      yes
USE_GNOME=      glib20 libidl
USE_GETTEXT=    yes
USE_LDCONFIG=   yes
USE_AUTOTOOLS=  aclocal:env autoconf:env automake:env libtool libtoolize:env
GNU_CONFIGURE=  yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc \
               --disable-gtk-doc
CPPFLAGS+=      -I${LOCALBASE}/include
LDFLAGS+=       -L${LOCALBASE}/lib
---------------------

Yes, the ltverhack works because I have modified the order of target
use. I know that it's double function from bsd.gnome.mk, but it's only
way that I can think of to make ltverhack works by copy and modified a
bit in bsd.mate.mk at the moment. In the bsd.mate.mk has:

---------------------
.if ${USE_MATE:Mautogen}!= ""

CONFIGURE_ENV+= NOCONFIGURE=yes

pre-patch: mate-pre-patch

mate-pre-patch:
       @(cd ${CONFIGURE_WRKSRC} ; ${SETENV} ${CONFIGURE_ENV} ./autogen.sh)
.endif

.if defined(MATE_PRE_PATCH_SCRIPT)

pre-patch-script: mate-pre-patch-script <-- Changed target.

mate-pre-patch-script: <-- Changed target.
       @${MATE_PRE_PATCH_SCRIPT:C/^;//1}
.endif
---------------------

Most of components will have no 'mate' prefix. To make it shorter and
the 'USE_MATE' already have 'mate' name in it. Repeat of 'mate' kinds
of drive me crazy. Haha. :-P :-) But if you think I should put 'mate'
in there, let me know. Example, common is mate-common; docutils is
mate-doc-utils, hack is like gnomehack and etc.

The bsd.mate.mk is kind of very messy right now. I will clean up when
I add a lot of more mate ports to make sure everything is working
correct. Also, I want remove the ${HAVE_GNOME:Mfoobar} feature from
bsd.mate.mk. I want to add something like foo:build, bar:run for build
and run time dependency. Without the :build/:run will be same what it
normal does.

I will worry about the matehier later when finished with all MATE ports.

Cheers,
Mezz
