I'm playing around with the ports system and decided to use make package feature to create my own package repository for use on several machines. I'm using RELEASE-5.2.1 on all machines. I have a central building machine where I build all packages. So far I'm having lots of problems. make package-recursive doesn't allways build all the dependant packages pkg_add has a problem with ' in filenames (fixed in STABLE and HEAD) - I patched my own pkg_add and now this works :) when making a package from gettext it only includes the man pages even though plist specifies the correct files??? make install installs all the files though. something is fuxed with xml when I try to install gnome packages they allmost allways depend on docbook stuff - xmlcatmgr complains about corrupted xml-files and missing files and the exits. so my question is - are packages something that should be working from a current portstree or? is it worth taking the time to hunt the bugs down an report them?
