That's where the staged installs are interesting. You implement the functionnality into the pkg_tools and the ports tree use them (make package before make install). It will also ensure that all post 'make package' features are supported by the pkg_tools because the ports tree will rely on that. An other solution, less elegant IMHO, is that the *.mk facilities generates the files/pkg-install.in file, which will be executed later by make or the pkg_tools. Well... that's *very* crappy :-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
