Point taken, but couldn't you just as easily do grep foo /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS To do the same thing ? > This manpage issue has been bothering me for a while.

An even better solution would be some interface in the Makefiles that allows the PLIST to be built dynamically, or have some kind of conditional directive, like : .ifndef NOMANCOMPRESS man/man1/manpage.1.gz .else man/man1/manpage.1 .endif That is interpreted by pkg_create or the package registration routines during the installation. > If the list of files that change is really quite large, then that's > ok.

That's where I got the idea for the one with compressed man pages and one without.
