By "makefiles" are you referring to the ports/Mk stuff, or are you referring to actual Makefiles for src/usr.sbin/pkg_install (which is ultimately where pkg_trans should go)? And I assume by "ruby" you're referring to the portupgrade tie-ins. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
