I'm not a developer, so anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in any of this, but... Julian, you -can- create old-style packages (eg: of proprietary internal software); you just have to do it based on an old-style ports tree (which you can checkout, if you need it, as noted above). What you cannot do is create old-style packages from a new ports tree. This is because the ports infrastructure has been changing since pkg_install was deprecated, and pkg_install simply will not work with the current ports tree (and, as I understand it, cannot practically be modified in order to work with it). But again, you -can- still build old-style packages if that is required: just check out a ports tree that works with old-style packages and use that to package your "proprietary stuff". -- greg byshenk - gbysh...@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
