I've searched the Handbook and FAQ as well as the mail archive at the website. No sources more helpful than the pkg_create(1) manpage, which says, DESCRIPTION The pkg_create command is used to create packages that will subsequently be fed to one of the package extraction/info utilities. The input de- scription and command line arguments for the creation of a package are not really meant to be human-generated, though it is easy enough to do so. It is more expected that you will use a front-end tool for the job rather than muddling through it yourself. Nonetheless, a short descrip- tion of the input syntax is included in this document. Have been found. I have a basic idea of how this should work, but am trying to figure out what I could do with install/uninstall scripts and other possibilities. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
