Or, perhaps a chance to read * their final plist potentially as an installation guide. That's what I thought too, but David's probably right in that the plist generation should be done right before it's used. * Are their any ports that legitimately need to modify their plist * during *-install? Usually installation decisions are made during * *-configure... For some ports, it might be easier to just install everything and run a find. This means there probably should be at least one porter-definable install target before the plist is generated by bsd.port.mk. (It can take the porter-generated plist as an input.) Where should I put it? Right before fake-pkg (after post-install) won't leave any chance for the port to do anything with it. Maybe between do-install and post-install? Satoshi
