Say a package has a page "foo.1", which needs to be linked to Carefully. :-) It depends how those links are created in the first place. So long as $ make install $ pkg_delete $ pkg_add all do the right thing, that's probably good enough. You might find it's not even worth the work trying to make sure that hard links to manpages created during ``make install'' are properly compressed (just make sure they're properly deleted during pkg_delete if you do this). Usually ports with this problem require some @exec aerobics in pkg/PLIST. pkg_add/create is rumoured to handle hard links, but given its BUGS section, I haven't bothered to investigate this capability further.... :-) -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
