Post share your mk.conf!: pkgsrc best practices

Greetings everybody; the idea of having a similar thread has crossed my mind a couple of times already, so I thought I'd better start one now that I have some more spare time.
Below the /etc/mk.conf I use on my Odroid C2. Replies - if ever there will be any - are very appreciated.
Code:
## GENERAL SETTINGS
# machine-specific workdirs
OBJMACHINE=yes
# sanity checks for shared libs
PKG_DEVELOPER=yes
# default pkg prefix
LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg
# build on tmpfs
WRKOBJDIR=/var/tmp/pkg
# sign pckgs with a trusted CA cert
SIGN_PACKAGES=x509
X509_CERTIFICATE=/etc/openssl/certs/pkgsrc.crt
X509_KEY=/etc/openssl/private/pkgsrc.key
# where to store generated packages
PACKAGES?=${_PKGSRCDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}
# used to elevate privileges
.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/doas)
SU_CMD=${LOCALBASE}/bin/doas /bin/sh -c
.endif
# default 'make clean' on deps
CLEANDEPENDS=YES
# use binary packages for dependencies
UPDATE_TARGET=bin-install
BINPKG_SITES=$(${LOCALBASE}/bin/gawk '{ print $2 }' FS='=' /etc/pkg_install.conf)

## FETCHING DISTFILES
# resume downloads 
PKG_RESUME_TRANSFERS=YES
# fetch using wget
.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/wget)
FETCH_CMD=${LOCALBASE}/bin/wget
.endif
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=–passive-ftp
FETCH_RESUME_ARGS=-c
FETCH_OUTPUT_ARGS=-O
# preferred domains list
MASTER_SORT=.eu .it .ch .at .fr .de .es .nl .uk .at .be .cz .pl .se .fi .no .dk

## HARDENING
ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=NO
# stack protector
PKGSRC_USE_SSP?=strong
# fortify source
PKGSRC_USE_FORTIFY?=strong
# position-independent executables
PKGSRC_MKPIE?=yes
# link with RELRO
#PKGSRC_USE_RELRO?=partial
# stack boundary verification
PKGSRC_USE_STACK_CHECK?= yes

## OPTIMIZATIONS
MAKE_JOBS=4
GZIP?=--fast
CPUFLAGS+=-O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=cortex-a53 -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-fp16 -mfloat-abi=hard -funsafe-math-optimizations 

## PKG_ALTERNATIVES
PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=37
LUA_VERSION_DEFAULT=53
PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT=71
RUBY_VERSION_DEFAULT=24
# avoid linking against outdated libs
PREFER_PKGSRC?=MesaLib Xft2 Xrandr Xrender expat fontconfig freetype2 glu openssl pixman xcursor

## LICENSES
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=erlang-public-license gnu-agpl-v3 lame-license ms-ttf-license no-commercial-use opemotif-license public-domain unrar-license ruby-license sendmail-open-source-license  sun-jdk14-license vim-license xv-license

If I'm not mistaken, /etc/mk.conf is also used for building the kernel. Are you sure you want to build your kernel with all these fancy CPUFLAGS?

Whatever is only relevant for pkgsrc, I put in such a ifdef block

Code:
.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK

Fancy Stuff goes here

.endif

I certainly wouldn't ; to be honest, I've become more lazy lately due to lack of time (all the more given the limited horsepower of the Odroid, but yes, I might as well cross-compile), so I prefer just to fetching the last official 64bit image for OdroidC2 from armbsd.org no sooner bugs are patched or a new release comes out.

Thanks for the tip, simple and life-saving, will come in handy

Hello Sensucht,

I love pkgsrc for various reasons. One is the ability to nicely integrate custom patches via

Code:
LOCALPATCHES=   /home/bashrules/pkgsrc/patches
Here is an example for xv. Note the directory hierachy - it must model pkgsrc' directory hierachy. Upon saving a jpeg, xv adds itself to the jpeg meta-data which I disable with this patch

Code:
$ cat ~/pkgsrc/patches/graphics/xv/patch-CREATOR.patch 
--- xvjpeg.c.orig	2012-02-14 22:52:40.000000000 -0800
+++ xvjpeg.c	2012-02-14 22:53:07.000000000 -0800
@@ -977,7 +977,6 @@
   else comment = xvcmt;
 
 
-  jpeg_write_marker(&cinfo, JPEG_COM, (byte *)comment, (u_int)strlen(comment));
 
   if (picExifInfo) jpeg_write_marker(&cinfo, JPEG_APP1, (byte *)picExifInfo,
                                      (u_int)picExifInfoSize);
And so I have here and there some small patches.


Pkgsrc is not perfect. There is always a package or two that does not build. If the problem is in the actual code, I can keep /usr/pkgsrc/ untouched and put my patch into LOCALPATCHES.

Precisely, in few words you described my same feeling over it:

- on one hand, one may dislike pkgsrc because a) each and every quarterly release breaks some package; b) deprecated software is systematically left there dying out, awaiting for somebody to take maintainership, if ever; c) support outside Tier I platforms is limited, while bootstrapping outside mainstream target (NetBSD, Illumos, macOS, Linux, QNX) is hackish at best and never devoid of unwanted surprises. Long gone are the days where pkgsrc would work almost shamelessly on IRIX, Solaris 10, HP-UX: I'd be surprised to hear about somebody having ccessfully built a pkgsrc-based HP-UX desktop on a PA-RISC workstation like here (2011)

- on the other hand, I'm under the impression the majority of users can't help falling in love with it: it's simple, fast, powerful, portable, well-documented, hackable, and, most prominently, doesn't get in the way. For me its versatility is a killer feature: being able to use the same package manager on NetBSD and Slackware is something I'd hardly be able to live without now. Same goes for the cross toolchain (used it to build for evbarm64 on 8.99-current before binary packages became a reality). And the interesting thing is that I first moved to NetBSD after having used pkgsrc on Solaris/illumos first and macOS later. Promptly getting security patches on quarterly releases is another thing I endorse. Finally, it must be noted how easy is it to start contributing: the community is very inclusive and welcoming, eager to provide help and walk new committers through
