Both you and itetcu brought up that last point to me... it=92s a really = good point that I hadn=92t considered when I made the move. > If @sample doesn't do the thing, just don't use it, do not invent = hacks. > It's broken in many ways and I've planned to start discussion on that. It=92d be helpful to have the PHB say how to properly handle things = outside of ${PREFIX}. There=92s essentially no information on it, nor on = the differences in how pkgng and pkg_tools handle it. Not even anything = in CHANGES about it. It=92s not even about =93inventing hacks,=94 so much as having to figure = out the right way to do things by trial and error, because documentation = doesn=92t exist. # Adam --=20 Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
