I did read the code but was unable to find any traces indicating that pkg_sign is using any pkg_install infrastructure. Moreover, even pkg_sign manpage indicates that it's just a general utility to sign gzip-compressed archives, so my question is a pretty valid. You are partially answered it in your another e-mail on the topic (it's where it located in OpenBSD), but this is not a very strong point, as poor architectural choices of one project should not be automatically inherited by another just because 'it's how they did it'. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
