IIRC, rpm builders have script that automate this by finding files in standard directories. Probably by checking in the stage a include/ directory and "tag" it as the development part. It will be the most smart way of doing this but still require some addition to pkg. Probably like: - pkg install mylib - pkg install -t dev mylib - pkg install -t runtime mylib - pkg install -t dev,runtime,doc mylib Just thinking ;) -- Demelier David _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
