* Could we add a dependency file or something along those lines, that * has the paths of the files the package depends on and then we can * check whether the file actually exists and even whether it has the * correct permissions. The problem with this approach is that it hard-codes the "local" tree to /usr/local and the X tree to /usr/X11R6, which we are trying to avoid. * mtree can be used to do most of this. Incidentally, I had someone * try and install a package yesterday without mtree in their path (it's in * /usr/sbin/mtree so that was reasonable). We should hard code that path * into the bsd.mk files for ports. That one is already fixed in the -current bsd.port.mk. (I think it was Rod who pointed it out.) Satoshi
