If you didn't define the variable PACKAGES in your environment while
compiling, then they are in the directory of the port itself, where you typed
make package.
Note that you can always rebuild installed packages, using:
for DIR in /var/db/pkg/*; do
pkg_create -vb ${DIR##*pkg/} /path/${DIR##*pkg/}.tbz
done

Re: packages compiled from source
Many thanks too all who ansered, that's really helpful. I just had a hard time compiling lighttpd and php5 together, so wanted to save them as packages to spare me the headache in the near future. Have read the ports man I see that I can change the PACKAGES in the environment, but how do I change the environment. Would I edit /etc/ make.conf at a guess?

PACKAGES is environmental variable - you'll want to change the variable, not the environment ;) To change it system wide permanently - yes, editing /etc/make.conf would be a good idea. The alternatives are setting it in your shell environment (depends on what you use) or defining it at install time (every time) with something like 'make PACKAGES=/some/dir package'. And there are probably other methods, too :) HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski karol.kwiat at gmail dot com OpenPGP 0x06E09309 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
