BUG: elvis does not respect destroot

[ehainry@…]

port destroot elvis puts some files directly in ${prefix}/share/elvis and some other directories. Even worse, it puts a README file in /etc/elvis. Ports are not supposed to write anything outside of /opt/local/.

I have started patching the Portfile. I do not think the destroot.destdir should be used this way, but however, it is now

destroot.destdir  BINDIR=${destroot}${prefix}/bin \
                  LIBDIR=${destroot}${prefix}/share/elvis \
                  DOCDIR=${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/elvis \
                  MANDIR=${destroot}${prefix}/share/man \
                  DATADIR=${destroot}${prefix}/share/elvis/

The next problem is the installation of manpages which uses a "clever" script: instman.sh and then the problem of /etc/elvis. It is going to require patching the Makefile so that it does not use instman.sh but just installs in $MANDIR and changing this hard /etc to something else, probably ${prefix}/share/doc/elvis.

This patch is not good enough: after install, elvis does not find its help files.

I have rewritten some parts of the Portfile. It now does everything as it should (does not write where it should not, finds its files however, installs man pages). Patch follows

Oh, by the way, the maintainer's address seems not to exist anymore: postfix tells me:

(Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=gene-hacker.net type=MX: Host not found, try again)
