In fact, it possibly means the LICENSE ends up in the plist twice, which is almost as bad as it not being mentioned at all.Ok, I think I'm starting to get a hang of this. Personally, I prefer the static pkg-plist. There's one last minor detail, though. The where's the final packing list located? Is it in /var/db/pkg/${DISTNAME}?
While you're building the port, the packing list is assembled as
${WRKDIR}/PLIST where ${WRKDIR} is by default /usr/ports/foo/bar/work/
although it's not uncommon to locate it somewhere else by modifying
$WRKDIRPREFIX.
Once installed the PLIST is turned into /var/db/pkg/${DISTNAME}/+CONTENTS
which adds information about the ports this one depends on, plus the
md5 sumes of all of the installed files.
Cheers,
Matthew
