Hello Rodney!

please would you update the man pages for pkg_create?
During my packaging of GCC 4 I never got the "@src" directive or the -S switch to work. It always used the directory of the "@cwd" directive. I could see it with verbose output and the command for tar.
Now I discovered that you have to place @src after @cwd, otherwise @cwd will kill the src path. I didn't expect that. Please update the doc to clarify that behaviour.

Okay, I will.
You can have several different '@cwd's and '@src's in each file so that you can gather and distribute
to more than one "root" the files. At installation with '@src's are not used.

Hi Rodney,

Does pkg_create support "POST-DEINSTALL" & "PRE-DEINSTALL"?
I read the man page but only post & pre install are supported.

The updated pkg_create version in FreeBSD does have them.

Thanks.

The current release doesn't.
There is a common ancestor to the FreeBSD version, but that was some years ago.
I've added it to my notes for the next release that you've asked for it.
The SUA-thing is still "shaking out" (as you might have read in some other threads)
so this won't happen in the next couple of weeks (unless you are very desperate)
but should happen by mid-April.
