However, this seems to mostly work; the METALOG that gets generated has lines such as > > ./bin/cat type=file uname=root gname=wheel mode=0555 size=11520 category=base > > and I've written a python script that will take that METALOG, and create PKGNG-style packages from it. (This may be more useful for things like "category=dev", or "secure".) I did have to change xinstall a bit to handle this, and I also changed how it handled hard links for the metalog. > > Any comments on this?
