PLIST_FILES is useful if you only have a handful of files to list in the plist. It saves an inode (see the archives for this) at the expense of being able to grep for things in pkg-plist. The syntax is exactly what is shown in the handbook... PLIST_FILES= bin/foo bin/bar include/example/foo.h include/example/bar.h PLIST_DIRS= include/example This is the equivalent of having the following in pkg-plist: bin/foo bin/bar include/example/foo.h include/example/foo.bar @dirrm include/example If you are looking to do substitutions in the plist I'd recommend using pkg-plist not PLIST_FILES or PLIST_DIRS as I'm not sure if substitutions are done on the latter. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong (I have not experimented to find out). -- WXS
