Ok. :) * > * > (2) If so, where does it get the value "/usr/local" from? * > You mean it's built in when you build /usr/bin/perl5 (and friends)? * * Yup. Ok. Just wondering. * At a first look, this looks OK. I wasn't planning to put in the * version on the /usr/bin/perl5 binary, but it seems like a good * thing, so I'll do it. Well, I'm not sure. It's not like we're going to have a whole bunch of them installed at the same time anyway. Unless you have a reason to believe the user is going to need to keep the old binary around (to run old compiled modules? I dunno), you should probably keep it as "perl5" or put a code in the installation target to remove the old one. I'm sure some people will object to having /usr/bin being cluttered with all sorts of perl5.00X0Y stuff. (Remember, in /usr/src, you can't easily do a "pkg_delete perl-5.00404". :) * > One thing that is *very important* is to absorb all hackery into * > bsd.port.mk so individual ports don't have to be adjusted depending on * > whether the user is running -stable or -current.

The last point (in parentheses) is just my preference though. If it's going to make your life too hard, it's ok to drop it. Satoshihome | help
