I am using pkgng. When I issue 'portupgrade <package> -p', after build and installation, it builds a new package, as advertised. This (by default) is put into /usr/ ports/packages/All.
At the same time, it installs a set of symlinks; one for each relevant port category, plus one in /usr/ports/packages/Latest. It is the naming of this last in which I am interested. Sometimes the symlink seems to bear the name (absent the version) of the package, and sometimes the name of the port (plus '.txz', of course). Two questions: 1) Does anyone know the logic used to derive the name of the symlink? 2) Would it be considered a breach of etiquette to email the port maintainer (bdrewery) and ask, or is this regarded as acceptable? 'man portupgrade' doesn't seem to shed any light on this, and I am unaware of where to seek other documentation. _______________________________________________ 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"
