Meaning we start checking all pkg-plists now. I would find it extremely important that a simple "-v" for verbose, or something equivalent, and that is prominently documented everywhere, leads to the system revealing all decisions and findings that it makes for automatisms like glob expansion. Remember that we need to keep things simple for newcomers - and if people show interest in helping with ports, we don't want to confront and turn them away with a system that keeps the user in the dark about what it's doing. I find there's already a lot of magic in pkg going on for daily use where I need to set DEBUG_LEVEL=3 or 4 to understand what it's up to... and that quickly gets unwieldy. Bottom line is, given the tools and helpers we have (make makeplist) we should seriously turn our focus to matters that cause greater pain. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
