However, I suspect that a marginally better place to use these would be in the "make distribute" target that "make release" uses. This way, the files are already separated out into directory structures, and it may be easier to build complex pkg-plist's with find(1). ALSO, it may be easier to make more fine-grained packages (DISTRIBUTION=foo) with this. M -- Mark Murray iumop ap!sdn w,I idlaH
