The right way to change PLIST for lang/python24 for QNX

[Christian Leutloff <christian.leutloff%web.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I'm using pkgsrc on QNX and working on Python (lang/python24). I have two 
questions about changing PLIST.

1) First I want to exclude some files from the package especially for QNX. 
There are some dynamic libraries not build, e.g. for NIS. As NIS seems not to
be available for QNX I will simply exclude the related dynamic module from 
PLIST. 
What is the best way to achieve this? I have not found a conditional for PLIST.

2) Another issue is the naming of the dynamic python library:

pkgsrc/lang/python24/work/Python-2.4.4:
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root      root        1162454 Dec 12 17:07 libpython.so.2.4
-rw-r--r--  1 root      root        1324726 Dec 12 17:07 libpython2.4.a

The naming is the normal convention used for QNX. Here is the naming of the 
standard C lib from QNX:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      root              9 Oct 12 10:49 /lib/libc.so -> 
libc.so.2
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root      root              0 Dec 10 14:03 /lib/libc.so.1
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root      root         583420 Oct 11  2006 /lib/libc.so.2


What would be the best way to support the QNX naming scheme of dynamic 
libraries?


Here are the messages from the make:

$ cd lang/python24

These are the files already installed in /usr/pkg/lib/:
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root      root        1162454 Dec 12 17:07 
/usr/pkg/lib/libpython.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      root             12 Dec 12 17:11 
/usr/pkg/lib/libpython.so.2.4 -> libpython.so


Thanks
Christian
