>Description:
(In my opinion,) The explanation of the -i option to pkg_create(1) doesn't
sufficiently explain the order of the arguments to the +INSTALL script.
It says that the keyword P(RE|OST)-INSTALL will be passed, along with the
package's name. To me, that sounds like the keyword is first, then the
package's name. (Now that I have discovered otherwise, the intended meaning
seems obvious, but when I first read it, I was confused.)
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
I would suggest changing the wording from:
differentiating between the functionality by passing the keywords
PRE-INSTALL and POST-INSTALL respectively, along with the package's name.
to:
differentiating between the functionality by passing the keywords
PRE-INSTALL and POST-INSTALL (respectively) after the package's name.
