These needs to be created up front (with the correct permissions) because (currently) Pivot is *not* intelligent enough to create these directories on the fly. > The problem is, that the programm should work if you just do pkg_add > pivot. The files which are not in pkg-plist are not in the package, > so the package is unusable. 1) I did follow http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-testing.html and "pkg_add pivot-weblog" does work. Did you even test? *I* did... 2) I didn't use the unexec/exec trick for pkg-plist because I also need to set the permissions correctly. 3) Did you look at files/pkg-install.in It is run when using pkg_add according to my testing and the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/pkg-install.html And as I said, in 2 above, I need to do it this way because then I can set the permissions correctly.
