First off, since this is your first attempt to update a port, welcome! There may be a slight hurdle to get over to understanding port basics, but once you get there it is quite rewarding. This resource is priceless, read it and refer back to it often: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html Also, the great thing about ports is you can read all of the shell scripts that are doing the work if you don't understand something (such as copytree_share), by grepping through the files here: /usr/ports/Mk/ Lastly, the mailing lists do not have the formatting features of the forums, so no need for the [FILE][/FILE] stuff. I would say the most obvious thing for your port is the need to update the pkg-plist file which lists ever file your port will install on the system. Easy way to test this with your updated port is to do the following: # cd PORTDIR # make clean # make # make makeplist That will dump the new plist to the console standard output, but doesn't actually update the pkg-plist for you (you have to do that by redirecting the output to the file). But note, you need to follow the instructions of the first line (delete the first line, and check the output of the rest of the file looks reasonable). I would redirect the output to a new plist file and compare the difference before overwriting the main plist file: # make makeplist > pkg-plist.new # diff -u pkg-plist pkg-plist.new Good luck! -- -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
