We checked to find a piece of software that wasn't in the packages collection, and picked GNU bison. Quite why someone would want to have bison when Berkeley yacc is already present in the tree is beyond us, but it's useful for the purposes of this exercise.

GNU version of yacc. Can make re-entrant parsers, and numerous other improvements. Why you would want this when Berkeley yacc(1) is part of the NetBSD source tree is beyond me.

The NetBSD package system comes with
pkgtools/pkglint
which helps to check the contents of these
files. After installation it is quite easy to use, just change to the
directory of the package you wish to examine and run
pkglint:
$
pkglint
ERROR: Makefile: Each package must define its LICENSE. WARN: Makefile:9: HOMEPAGE should migrate from http to https. NOTE: PLIST:3: The .gz extension is unnecessary for manual pages. WARN: PLIST:5: "share/bison.hairy" should be sorted before "share/bison.simple". 1 error, 2 warnings and 1 note found. (Run "pkglint -e" to show explanations.) (Run "pkglint -fs" to show what can be fixed automatically.) (Run "pkglint -F" to automatically fix some issues.)
Depending on the supplied command line arguments (see pkglint(1)), more checks will be performed. Use e.g. pkglint -Wall for a very thorough check.
Create the directory where the package lives, plus any auxiliary directories:
#
cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang
#
mkdir bison
#
cd bison
#
mkdir patches
Create Makefile
, DESCR
and
PLIST
(see Chapter 12, Package components - files, directories and contents)
then continue with fetching the distfile:
#
make fetch

You can now use bison, and also - if you decide so - remove it with pkg_delete bison. Should you decide that you want a binary package, do this now:
#
make package

make clean
