I can't create a package from postfix (it never worked since at least 2

on OpenBSD, "make install" from ports always builds a package first,
then installs it with pkg_add. look in /usr/ports/packages/`arch -s`/all

I know but I would like to be able to create a package on my own when
necessary. With all other packages it works fine, but not for postfix.

Since it's not supported, you get to work out why for yourself :)

One should re-write the manpage then:

    pkg_create can also be invoked with only the packing-list from an in-
    stalled package.  It will recreate the corresponding binary package in
the current directory from the installation, or error out if any problem
    is found.  For example, the following will recreate a kdelibs-3.4.3.tgz
    package:

          pkg_create -f /var/db/pkg/kdelibs-3.4.3/+CONTENTS
