I think, in order to do this, you have to have enough room for a chroot'ed environment. I usually just capture the entire listing of the port's install run, and (comparing it against the port's makefile to catch stuff that had "@" inserted in front of it) do a careful comparison. I've never been caught out yet, although it takes a while for some huge ports. > > Regards, > Tom > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
