Committing /var/db/pkg to mtree was fine, it probably should have been there to begin with. Sticking things into it outside of pkg_add, however, is evil. pkg_add "owns" this directory and every time we've tried to go behind its back, so to speak, we've been raped for it. The whole mess with XFree68 was a total nightmare and is what happens when changes like this are made without really thinking things out.
No more kludges, please. I'm not changing sysinstall and make world shouldn't be writing into /var/db/pkg either. If you've found it necessasry to do this, then you've made a mistake just as you did with XFree86 and need to think about the problem again. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
