https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224370 Bug ID: 224370 Summary: Wrong path documented in make package in ports(7) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jeromer@fastmail.net In man 7 ports (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&sektion=7) the "package" section states the following: package Make a binary package for the port. The port will be installed if it has not already been. The package is a .tbz file that you can use to install the port on other machines with pkg-add(8). If the directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, the package will be put into the current directory. See PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE. However when running make package it appears the built package is not a .tbz but a .txz in work/pkg Maybe it would be great to reword it like this: package Make a binary package for the port. The port will be installed if it has not already been. The package is a .txz file that you can use to install the port on other machines with pkg-add(8). If the directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, the package will be put into the current directory in work/pkg. See PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
