You can use "pkg create" to create a backup package out of an installed one. > I do think this is not an ideal situation though. This is not our fault. The whole mess is caused by a circular dependency between glib and gobject-introspection. It was an upstream decision, so all downstream consumers have to adapt. In future the upstream plans to merge two projects together, so we can get rid of that bootstrapping stuff. Finally, I'd like once again remind everyone that the only support way to build packages is Poudriere. There are objective reasons for that, not just a matter of taste. If you stray from the established path you'll inevitable get into problems such as this one or bug 297314. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
