I don't think so. A package is just an archive containing "truncated subtrees" such as bin/, lib/ or man/ of the compiled programs, ready for install into the /usr/local directory. It also contains data files such as +COMMENT, +CONTENTS, +DESC and +MTREE_DIRS. However, if you have installed from a port, the options you have set will be stored in /var/db/ports/<name>/options. I haven't tested yet if a package that _has_ adjustable options (which obviously have already been adjusted) would create such a directory and file, but I assume it does not, as it seems obvious that those are handled by the port building mechanisms (which aren't in use when you pkg_add something). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
