No idea why there isn't an openoffice pkg yet for 6.2/amd64, but
some of us are running that on laptops, not servers, and we like to
do things like edit documents.
Broke down and built the port, which took about 24 hours (after I
found installed all dependent packages [built dependencies for a
couple days before that]), but it went well and functions. I'd
really like to skip doing that on my other system, however.
So, is there a standard description of what files, folders, etc,
make up a package, other than the makefile, such that I can copy
openoffice to my other machine(s)?
For that matter, is there a standardized way to build a pkg from a
port, or is that entirely up to the port maintainer?
See where I'm headed? Or am I hopelessly naive?
Steve
You can use 'make package' from the port directory you want to
package. That will build a package from the port with the options you
selected and put it in /usr/ports/packages/All/your_package.tgz. You
can then copy and install it on another machine with 'pkg_add'.
Cheers,
Beech
