Hmm...  I think you're looking at the old 0.10 portfile.  <http://svn.gizmolabs.org:8080/svn/gizmolabs/dports/sysutils/boxbackup/Portfile 
 > is the updated version for 0.11rc1. All but one of the patches you  
asked about were able to be removed for 0.11, could you take a look  
and re-comment on what's still there if you think its extraneous?   
Some still wait on the fixes in trunk you mention below.

The install target uses the install-backup-client and/or install- 
backup-server Makefile targets right now.  The regex to edit  
makeparcels.pl.in fixes this simple enough, but OpenBSD and any other  
system that uses DESTDIR to isolate installs is probably going to  
require a similar patch.  Basically --prefix is used for setting paths  
to config files and in docs etc, but then installing goes to $ 
{DESTDIR}/${prefix} so that the port system can see exactly what files  
are installed.  Once the contents are recorded the packaging system  
takes care of correctly moving things from the temporary DESTDIR to  
the actual prefix.

Thanks,
Eric
