The ``FreeBSD Ports'' framework provides a lot of helpful parts that you can re-use to build custom packages. There is a lot of useful material in the ``FreeBSD Porter's Handbook''. You can read its latest version online at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ Parts of the Porter's Handbook explain how you can create a new port of your own. After you have the new port and its dependencies integrated into the Ports system, you can create standard ``.tbz'' packages with a single command from the port's base directory: % cd /usr/ports/local/yourport % make package That's all. If all the parts for fetching the sources, configuring them, and building them are already there, the Ports will do the rest. HTH, Giorgos
