I strongly urge you to do this even if someone else does do something like it. This is a category of packages which could stand to have a lot more than one entry in it and knowing how to create packages of this nature is a valuable skill. Read the man page for pkg_create (it will probably take several readings - the material is dense :) and start off with small single-purpose packages which exercise each specific feature of packages (install scripts, special PLIST directives, etc) you're unclear on until you can put it all together. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
