This is already checked and enforced using different means. If you're seeing differences, this is presumably for some other local reason. In particular gettext, mysql-server and apache22 do not install extra files or have missing files when built in a default freebsd environment. > diff -u /tmp/+CONTENTS_make_install_apache22 /tmp/ > +CONTENTS_make_package_apache22 | head > --- /tmp/+CONTENTS_make_install_apache22 Sun Jan 28 21:52:47 2007 > +++ /tmp/+CONTENTS_make_package_apache22 Sun Jan 28 21:53:39 2007 > @@ -567,739 +567,16 @@ > @unexec rmdir %D/etc/apache22 2> /dev/null || echo "===> If you plan > to do not reinstall apache22, you can safely remove %D/etc/apache22." > @exec /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib > @unexec /sbin/ldconfig -R > -share/doc/apache22/LICENSE > -share/doc/apache22/NOTICE > -share/doc/apache22/bind.html > -share/doc/apache22/bind.html.de I am unable to replicate this: the apache22 port does not install these files on my system.
