>Description:
Recent changes to the netbsd-compat stuff (and EMUL_DIST maybe)
have resulted in lintpkgsrc (on a NetBSD 3.0 system)
generating messages like ...
/usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat12/Makefile: Cannot locate /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/${DISTNAME:C/-.*//}/emulator.mk in . /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat12 /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat_netbsd
Each of the emulators/compat* packages is doing that.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try lintpkgsrc -p on a NetBSD 3.0 sysyem (I'm using pkg_comp
with libkver and the original 3.0 sets installed to simulate that)
and just watch.
>Fix:
?
Random guess is that perhaps something is relying upon some
make behaviour that didn't exist (or work) in NetBSD 3.0
