I hope that Satoshi reads down through all his email and only replies to this one... :-) So, let's say I have this for a PLIST: @cwd /usr/local bin/gv [..other stuff..] @cwd /usr/share/doc gv/comments.doc.gz [..other stuff..] I find a couple of things happen. * If I replace /usr/local and /usr/share/doc with $(PREFIX) and $(DOCDIR) respectively, they get expanded correctly when I install my goodies. However... * In the +CONTENTS file, $(PREFIX) expands correctly. $(DOCDIR) does not, so you can't remove the package later. * In order to do the @cwd /usr/share/doc, I had to originally do the @cwd /usr/local at the top or this line didn't make it into +CONTENTS. This seems strange. So I guess these are the only things left that puzzle me. I suppose I should be hunting through the -ports mail archives, but I can't even imagine what to search on to find the answer to how this stuff behaves. Thanks, Brian
