Is there any documentation on the new format? I see nothing is updated in the only docs I can find: https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng#Package_format I guess I'm really not understanding pkgng... I've used FreeBSD since version 4 but this is the first time I've seen something in the core system so undocumented and with so many regressions compared to the previous tools. I really wish we could go back to pkg_ Thanks Ari -- --------------------------> Aristedes Maniatis ish http://www.ish.com.au Level 1, 30 Wilson Street Newtown 2042 Australia phone +61 2 9550 5001 fax +61 2 9550 4001 GPG fingerprint CBFB 84B4 738D 4E87 5E5C 5EFA EF6A 7D2E 3E49 102A _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
