If I can already use them from non-/usr/local prefix, then it is great news (for me). But I have a reason to doubt.
For instance, a lot of applications are configured at build time to look for /usr/local. Like, gcc with /usr/local/lib/gcc/<version>, and binutils, which are actually one of the main use case for me. So I believe that pkg install -r requires chroot/jail for the result to work. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
