pkg_create -Rb openoffice.org-3.1.1 (You can get the exact package name using pkg_info -Ix openoffice) The -R flag will also build all dependencies of openoffice. Something along the lines of the following script: #! /usr/bin/env bash mkdir -p /usr/ports/packages cd /usr/ports/packages rm -rf *.tbz echo "Package creation starting `date`" IFS=$'\n' for i in `pkg_info -Ea` do echo "Creating $i" pkg_create -b $i done echo "Finished, `date`" will create a package for every single port installed on your system and place it in /usr/ports/packages. You can then move these and install them on another system. Notice the script does not use -R as it is already building all packages :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
