I produced packages of all installed ports with 'pkg_create -b' to transfer them to another machine. iwi-firmware-kmod failed: janh# pkg_create -b iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_2 tar: Removing leading '/' from member names janh# pkg_delete iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_2 janh# pkg_add iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_2.tbz tar: /boot/modules/iwi_bss.ko: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error opening archive: Empty input file: Inappropriate file type or format pkg_add: extract_plist: can not invoke 77 byte tar pipeline: /usr/bin/tar cf - /boot/modules/iwi\_bss.ko|/usr/bin/tar --unlink -xpf - -C / I see that the port has: NO_PACKAGE= "this is a modified version of a restricted firmware" Anyhow, every other port that may not have a public package succeeded to pkg_create just fine. Should package creation work on NO_PACKAGE ports or not? Should I report to the maintainer? Thanks Jan Henrik
