I am not aware of anything. But if you already have "stuff" creating a
big hierarchy with many users and groups, it may be easier to adapt
"stuff" to generate a pkg-plist file, or maybe to split your ports into
smaller, more manageable bits.
make makeplist will give you a correct listing of files and
directories, but as everything runs as a regular user, it cannot be
aware of the users/groups you intend on using in the plist.
make makeplist may be of help to you, as it would allow you to assign ownership
in
large chunks, thusly:
@a:b:c
this
that
...
theother
@d:f:e
somefile
...
another
bunch
of
files
@other:owner:group:perms
thesefiles
...
thosefiles
This all assumes that the files are grouped as you need them tho. :-)
