Hello friends! Now I made new port. It's not hard: this is russian-english dictionary, nothing to compile --- just extract some archive and put some files into FreeBSD hier(7). (And patching something of course.) But I have two trouble: 1) Program's author put some files into /usr/local hier, and some other files (phonetic fonts) into /usr/X11R6 hier. I can't put dictionaries into /usr/X11R6 because it's may be executed whitout X11. And I don't know, can I put phonetic fonts into /usr/local/lib/fonts directory, does it right? There are not problem if I put the fonts into /usr/local, but this may be wrong? Author writing about file-placing, that they are corresponding FHS (File Hierarchy Standard). And if I put fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts, there are other trouble: I must use names in pkg-plist relative PREFIX, but there are two PREFIX used: LOCALBASE for dictionarys and scripts, and X11BASE for fonts... 2) I make my port sensitive to WITHOUT_X11 variable. If it's set to "yes" I don't install some useless files (font's and TK scripts). What should I write into pkg-plist? I read about %%variable%% but I don't need to change some path in pkg-plist dependently from variable, --- i need to remove some files from this list if WITHOUT_X11 specified. Thank you, and sorry my bad english. -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii Сенсорно ваш, Евгений Миньковский
