In r60398 I committed a variation of your suggested change to the master_sites which should work even for release candidates and three-component version numbers.


    file delete -force /System/Library/Extensions/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext
    file copy ${worksrcpath}/osx/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext /System/Library/Extensions/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext
    file attributes /System/Library/Extensions/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext -owner root -group wheel -permissions rwxr-xr-x

Ports should not install things outside the destroot. This should be changed to:

    xinstall -d ${destroot}/System/Library/Extensions
    file copy ${worksrcpath}/osx/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext ${destroot}/System/Library/Extensions
    file attributes ${destroot}/System/Library/Extensions/FreespaceDeviceDriver.kext -owner root -group wheel -permissions rwxr-xr-x

The port should also indicate that the fact that it violates the mtree is intentional:

destroot.violate_mtree yes

    touch /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

I assume with this line you're trying to force the kext cache to rebuild? This article says touching /System/Library/Extensions is the better future-proof way to do that -- though that page is from 2002. If you have more recent information that contradicts that, please let me know.


So that we can more easily see what was changed, it is be better to submit a patch rather than a full Portfile. I'm attaching a patch of my proposed changes. Do they look ok to commit?
