Hello world! In a moments of hard testing just before a software release, releases of a RC (Release Candidate) packages are done to alow some final tests. I am wondering if it is convenient to create the devel port, to allow better testing for non-freebsd-aware users. Would that be more convenient to base such devel port on a RC releases, or directly the GIT repository? How would the dynamic pkg-plist file content look like in case of GIT build? Would files built from GIT repository are to be installed in /usr/local or some easry-to-remove specific location such as /tmp/devel/portname ? Is it convenient at all to create GIT based devel port if the user needs to use standard git procedure anyway to upload the rewritten/updated files? Please advise :-) Tomek Cedro -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
