Just so everyone knows what I'm doing: Every time it comes time to do the disc2 (all one time so far :-) I chroot to what's essentially a complete system extracted into a directory. Then I mount the packages collection into the chrooted area and do a: for i in *.tgz; do pkg_add $i; done To add each and every package, giving you a /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 from hell on the second CD with everything that can be extracted, extracted. Naturally, we rarely run such tests so the "bad packages" get pointed up pretty quickly. Here are my results. If you see a package of yours in this list, please check your packing list! The extra work at this stage will certainly pay off in making the packages collection look a lot more professional and not get us (you!) lots of tech support questions sent to ports complaining.. Also, since showing *all* the spew for a given package failure would make this a 2MB message, I'll just include the first 3 lines or so of each failure. Don't be fooled into thinking that the failure is a minor one just because I've clipped it! Rogus's Gallery: ImageMagick-3.6.2.tgz: tar: can't add file /usr/X11R6/lib/libMagick.a : No such file or directory tar: not found in archive tar: can't add file /usr/X11R6/include/X11/magick/magick.h : No such file or directory ... bcc-95.3.12.tgz: chmod: bin/as86: No such file or directory chmod: bin/ld86: No such file or directory chmod: bin/bcc: No such file or directory ... chimera-1.65.tgz: chmod: lib/cacheinfo: No such file or directory chmod: lib/convert: No such file or directory chmod: lib/help.html: No such file or directory ... chimera-1.65.tgz: chmod: lib/cacheinfo: No such file or directory chmod: lib/convert: No such file or directory chmod: lib/help.html: No such file or directory ... dvi2xx-0.51a9.tgz: chmod: man/man1/dvi2xx.1: No such file or directory Couldn't change modes of 'man/man1/dvi2xx.1 ' to '644'. chown: man/man1/dvi2xx.1: No such file or directory Couldn't change owner of 'man/man1/dvi2xx.1 ' to 'bin'. ... fvwm-1.24r.tgz: Two sets of errors: Warning: xpm package is not installed. You should install the xpm-3.4e package as well before attempting to use this fvwm distribution. (This is totally wrong - there's supposed to be a dependency for this! That might explain a few things..) And: chmod: bin/fvwm: No such file or directory chmod: bin/xpmroot: No such file or directory Couldn't change modes of 'bin/fvwm bin/xpmroot ' to '755'. chown: bin/fvwm: No such file or directory ... I think we can safely say that the fvwm package is kinda broken. gmp-1.3.2.tgz: ranlib: lib/libgmp.a: No such file or directory Command 'ranlib lib/libgmp.a' failed. ranlib: lib/libmp.a: No such file or directory ... <And it's right here that my machine crashed for the first time in 6 months [see previous postings about Murphy] so I'll leave you guys with this list until I can pick this up where it left off> Jordan
