It may be possible to leverage the fakeroot installation in PKGNG for this later, but for now we want to concentrate on getting PKGNG ready as a viable replacement of the current pkg_* tools and add this and other features later. A more elaborate summary of what was discussed at the ports and packages summit will be send later after folks get a chance to get home. -erwin --=20 Erwin Lansing http://droso.org Prediction is very difficult especially about the future erwin@FreeBSD.org --PYlAiE9YPzbx69zx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFNz/ZPqy9aWxUlaZARAp45AJ9boCq2vW0U4hoJezw2M1hDSqhKCwCgkRMu XdzwCzI6yuV3L2sSIxCFrOM= =mFJn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PYlAiE9YPzbx69zx--
