The man pages for pkg_create are definitely great as a reference, but are not very useful to the uninformed as the actual environment being manipulated is not explained. I would like to create a FreeBSD package for several software packages I use often (one of which is the Apache HTTPD). However, so far I think I could make one quicker by simply hacking the included files of another package than by figuring out the syntax of pkg_create. Anybody? -Brandon Gillespie-
