FreeBSD offers through install of Perl through its ports system a Perl module called 'bsdpan' which registers every module as a package under FreeBSD's package system. Normally ports installs modules as p5-ModuleName, but now it becomes: /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-B-Lint-1.09 And from that point on I can use the pkg* tools. Quite elegant in my opinion. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ To regard the fundamental as the essence, to regard things as coarse, to regard accumulation as deficiency, and to dwell quietly alone with the spiritual and the intelligent -- herein lie the techniques of Tao of the ancients. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
