Diffs are always happily reviewed, at least. :) I am now investigating the possibility of pkg_create doing the size calculations based on the packing list. The patch suggested on the ports mailing list with the "grep <PLIST -v @" obviously can't work here (the @cwd statements get ignored so the file names are not right at least for some of the packages) and I think the propper solution would be this one. Then I intend to make a file with the size in KByte somewhere. I set it to the directory of the port for my experiments and modelled it after the targets readmes and readme. That builds a table from the size files by just concatenating the ones one level below. The end result is a table of package name and size in KByte. And I think this information should be in the package, too as someone had suggested putting it in the package db to allow estimating how much space would be freed by deleting a package. Maybe I get it to work one day. :-) Stefan. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
