Re: [Maintainer update] Add FLAVOR to emulator/minivmac

If it is indeed possible to get it to build many binaries in a single build then subpackages would be a good way to handle it. But seeing as the build type is passed to the configure script I thought it would probably be a pain to do that so I suggested flavours.

You can rename the installed binary so the flavours don't conflict. Easiest way to handle the PLIST is probably to name the files (binary, desktop file, etc) based on the flavour (e.g. minivmac-ii) set a variable with the extension part ("SUFFIX=-ii") set that in SUBST_VARS ("SUBST_VARS=SUFFIX") and use that in PLIST ("bin/minivmac${SUFFIX}")

The other step to allow installing together is to adjust FULLPKGNAME so that pkg_add doesn't treat them as conflicting. With the above, FULLPKGNAME=minivmac${SUFFIX}-${V} should do.

So /usr/local/bin/minivmac will emulate only one machine or the other

depending on which flavor is installed. Can you convince the build system

to generate emulators for multiple machines as separate executables that

could be installed side by side? Because if someone is interested in

emulating both types of machines, it would be a real pain to have to run

pkg_delete and pkg_add every time to switch between them.
