I was recently stung by pkg not showing required shared libraries from the base system. Yes, but but real usage of it would happen in a second step because of many rought edges to be deal with. but yes the information would be available see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br6izhH5P1I and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7px6ktoDAI for a bigger view of what happened (note that some detail my have change a bit, the overall remains the same) Best regards, Bapt > > I just subscribed to freebsd-pkgbase@freebsd.org . > > Tom > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-pkgbase@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pkgbase > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-pkgbase-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWqhUNAAoJEGOJi9zxtz5aMC8P/0SG5rBDifKrPfjLoZLk397e Q36vApnvh8+6VR7MaWckIUyBjFb02p8/UjvgbPxC47s+lpAtSTL51PB6BCm3ZmZA 3+vFGzJkTZtaO3r+ahAPUNFfyaMqutzoxDJzCKiMfIrI3twrhzUmFzVCEvZyz3jm 9pSaijsUeyXfouX8dv/eZPwWiVW9jElMI48DrMIDfZ3PmD5ZjlbnZSVoH5uvAUmQ nKlUzaW/MWgmykmf4gA/+1MVfGAPjzFKn6brbIi/2Cq0gbXp55uiksrmtKG1pdd8 yUiRCt4y+MrQoimjHhrjrEEWhhqosnx1j2Mtek1GyRlMLIva703er2tRmFY2vxpH HgeISezllA5SpYdZ+/vZkbTGqFmIubJDhEMXFEgRnDB5JwXEZrt7KwQdeFSv1Pkz SzuzaPkAKqqFkJ4MM4TpFLZ/ZTOgvpQ0E+hyjvx1pHRcUHGgrxDOoLuYXSZPx81F b3YkcH27mcN3PqxQ0xGlEqpLR/K9ffvHMCTQOWwW1nmYESukFrCtTm8qpgBopSms vyCzzlzcljA1p5d2MHjRdFvc/I9EqGedMWR1S7LSAQEPce34a9PeRNsxvvNJNxxT Crzdy8XsqERy5uv1XHWkTZO/k275BWodMOwMPXx2TZZtML1l04KxXfNhLo4LtxeZ 1YTT49c6+RqGxwqonT6H =ddhB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
