I'm working on a port of a library, and there's something I'd like explained if possible. Some existing library ports include a line @exec ranlib %D/%F in the PLIST. Why is that? I would've thought that this was unnecessary: ranlib just builds a symbol table doesn't it? If the library was ranlibbed when it was built, the copy in the package already has a symbol table - or am I missing something? The reason I'd like clarification on this is that the @exec line seems to break pkg_delete, so I'd like to lose it if it really isn't necessary. - Ian
