Thanks for the reply. I did do that at first (rm-ing the package.tgz files), because I remember this used to work, but it didn't work this time, so I wonderd if something might have changed with the -current. But I could've been doing something wrong -- thinking back to what I was doing, after removing the package.tgz files I was running `make install' not `make package' I don't know if that makes any difference. I'm going to play with a smaller package this weekend; i.e.,g break PLIST and run through the motions. Just for my sanity. Cheers, --patrick
