name | what the function is about |
---|---|
fetch | Fetch the ${distfiles} from ${master_sites} and place it in ${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/${name} |
checksum | Compare ${checksums} specified in a Portfile to the checksums of the fetched ${distfiles}. |
extract | Unzip and untar the ${distfiles} into the path ${prefix}/var/macports/build/..../work |
patch | Apply optional patch files specified in ${patchfiles} to modify a port's source code file(s). |
configure | Execute the command configure in ${worksrcpath}. |
build | Execute ${build.cmd} in ${worksrcpath}. |
test | Execute commands to run test suites bundled with a port. |
destroot | Execute the command make install DESTDIR=${destroot}in ${worksrcpath}. |

name | what the function is about |
---|---|
pkg_setup | Use this function to perform any miscellaneous prerequisite tasks. This might include checking for an existing configuration file. |
pkg_nofetch | Inform the user about required actions if for some reason (such as licensing issues) the sources may not be downloaded by Portage automatically. Use this in conjunction with RESTRICT="fetch". You only should display messages in this function, never call die. |
src_unpack | |
src_compile | Use this function to configure and build the package. The initial working directory is S. |
src_install | Use this function to install the package to an image in D. If your package uses automake, you can do this simply with emake DESTDIR="${D}" install. Make sure your package installs all its files using D as the root! The initial working directory is S. |
src_test | Executed only when FEATURES="test" is set and RESTRICT="test" is unset, the default of this function executes an available testing function from any Makefiles in the ${S} directory, running either "make test" or "make check" depending on what is provided. It can be overriden to create a custom test setup. |
pkg_preinst | The commands in this function are run just prior to merging a package image into the file system. |
pkg_postinst | The commands in this function are run just following merging a package image into the file system. |
pkg_prerm | The commands in this function are run just prior to unmerging a package image from the file system. |
pkg_postrm | The commands in this function are run just following unmerging a package image from the file system. |
pkg_config | You use this function to set up an initial configuration for the package after it's installed. All paths in this function should be prefixed with ROOT which points to user-specified install root which may not happen to be /. This function is only executed if and when the user runs: emerge --config =${PF}. |

name | what the function is about |
---|---|
depends | to build and install dependencies |
fetch | to fetch distribution file(s) |
checksum | to fetch and check distribution file(s) |
extract | to look at unmodified source |
patch | to look at initial source |
configure | to stop after configure stage |
all or build | to stop after build stage |
stage-install | to install under stage directory |
test | to run package's self-tests, if any exist and supported |
package | to create binary package before installing it |
replace | to change (upgrade, downgrade, or just replace) installed package in-place |
deinstall | to deinstall previous package |
package-install | to install package and build binary package |
install | to install package |
bin-install | to attempt to skip building from source and use pre-built binary package |
show-depends | print dependencies for building |
show-options | print available options from options.mk |

name | what the function is about |
---|---|
config | Configure OPTIONS for this port using dialog(1). |
fetch | Fetch all of the files needed to build this port from the sites listed in MASTER_SITES and PATCH_SITES. See FETCH_CMD, MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE and MASTER_SITE_BACKUP. |
checksum | Verify that the fetched distfile's checksum matches the one the port was tested against. Defining NO_CHECKSUM will skip this step. |
depends | Install (or compile if only compilation is necessary) any dependencies of the current port. When called by the extract or fetch targets, this is run in piecemeal as fetch-depends, build-depends, etc. Defining NO_DEPENDS will skip this step. |
extract | Expand the distfile into a work directory. |
patch | Apply any patches that are necessary for the port. |
configure | Configure the port. Some ports will ask you questions during this stage. See INTERACTIVE and BATCH. |
build | Build the port. This is the same as calling the all target. |
install | Install the port and register it with the package system. This is all you really need to do. |
name | from | to | what the function is about |
---|---|---|---|
%prep | %_sourcedir | %_builddir | This reads the sources and patches in the source directory %_sourcedir. It unpackages the sources to a subdirectory underneath the build directory %_builddir and applies the patches. |
%build | %_builddir | %_builddir | This compiles the files underneath the build directory %_builddir. This is often implemented by running some variation of "./configure && make". |
%check | %_builddir | %_builddir | Check that the software works properly. This is often implemented by running some variation of "make test". Many packages don't implement this stage. |
%install | %_builddir | %_buildrootdir | This reads the files underneath the build directory %_builddir and writes to a directory underneath the build root directory %_buildrootdir. The files that are written are the files that are supposed to be installed when the binary package is installed by an end-user. Beware of the weird terminology: The build root directory is not the same as the build directory. This is often implemented by running "make install". |
bin | %_buildrootdir | %_rpmdir | This reads the files underneath the build root directory %_buildrootdir to create binary RPM packages underneath the RPM directory %_rpmdir. Inside the RPM directory is a directory for each architecture, and a "noarch" directory for packages that apply to any architecture. These RPM files are the packages for users to install. |
src | %_sourcedir | %_srcrpmdir | This creates a source RPM package (.src.rpm) inside the source RPM directory %_srcrpmdir. These files are needed for reviewing and updating packages. |
Apparently, the pkgsrc seems to be the most factorized build process. It is worthy to check though if the naming convention suits EasyBuild purposes.
