Phases
New src_configure Phase Function
The configure portion of the src_compile function has been
split into a separate function which is named src_configure. The
src_configure function is called in between the src_unpack and
src_compile functions.
Execution Order of Phase Functions
Phase Function Name
pkg_setup
src_unpack
src_configure
src_compile
src_test
src_install
pkg_preinst
pkg_postinst
pkg_prerm
pkg_postrm
Default Phase Functions
Each of the default src_* phase functions is now accessible
via a function having a name that begins with default_ and
ends with the respective phase function name. For example,
a call to a function with the name default_src_compile is
equivalent to a call to the default src_compile
implementation.
Default Phase Function Alias
A function named "default" is redefined for each phase so that it
will call the default_* function corresponding to the current phase.
For example, a call to the function named "default" during the
src_compile phase is equivalent to a call to the function named
default_src_compile.
