I'm testing a port prior to import, and want to do a 'make package'. That works, recording the package dependancy. When I do a 'pkg_add package.tgz' on a system that has neither the package nor it's dependancy, the dependancy is reported but nothing is done. Am I trying to do something that isn't supposed to work ? Is the INDEX file needed in order for pkg_add to figure out what to do with @pkgdep lines ? In other words, does this port require fixing before I import it ? -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
