Hi

What's the difference between packages made by these two methods?

Eg I have youtube_dl installed. From within the youtube_dl port directory

# make package-recursive

resulted in
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  8389 29 May 21:14 
/usr/ports/packages/All/youtube_dl-2008.04.20.tbz

whereas from within my home directory

% pkg_create -Rb youtube_dl-2008.04.20

resulted in
-rw-r--r--  1 chrisw  chrisw  8281 29 May 21:22 youtube_dl-2008.04.20.tbz

Packages are just 'tarballs with extra stuff'.  You can extract the
two tarballs and use `diff -r' to see where they differ :)


Of course you can, thank you.  Sometimes fear of magic stops me
seeing obvious things.
