The man pages do not explicitly state how @cwd should operate, but currently the directory must exist for pkg_create to run properly. This is extremely annoying because build machines *must* create the final directory structure of the target install before the package can be created. So my question is, does the 5.2.1 version of pkg_create contain a bug or is pkg_create really just very limited? Thanks for your attention. -- Brenden C. Grace Intelli7
