The ports collection should have used /usr/pkg/ : as NetBSD does. I have to create /usr/truely-local on my FreeBSD : machines. But the ports collection predated NetBSD's use of /usr/pkg... I have a /local for things that must be local to the machine and /usr/local NFS mounted in one lab. In the other, I don't worry about it and have /usr/local and /packages. In a third I have /usr/local and no central package area. The only thing that seems different is the order of my path variable :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
