Nope - I'm not setting it at all. Like I said, I don't deal with packages very often. Having played with it, it looks like the command in the docs should be: PKG_PATH=`pwd` pkg_add `make package-name` for sh users, anyway. Either that, or a step needs to be added to copy the package file created by "make package" to the right place. Or maybe just clarifying this, so that when you get people who don't deal with packages submitting ports, it avoids the problem. <mike On Sun, 10 Jan 1999, Steve Price wrote: > Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 18:27:23 -0600 (CST) > From: Steve Price <sprice@hiwaay.net> > To: Mike Meyer <mwm@phone.net> > Cc: freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: ports/9422 > > On Sun, 10 Jan 1999, Mike Meyer wrote: > > # Ok, I don't deal with packages very often.
