Building Packages - Links to Tutorials?

[Remko Lodder]

I am not sure but perhaps after the make -DCLIENT_ONLY=yes stuff
you can do make package, this should in my opinion make the package
you can install everywhere you wish (freebsd ofcourse).

Note that i did not read any explaination about this, and i just assume
this when i  "decode" the command into explaination.

Thanks, that helps.  Now, is there any way to make a package without
installing it?  For example, on my build machine I have the full version
of bacula installed.  However, I'd like to make a package that is built
with the "CLIENT_ONLY=YES" option.  So do I really have to build and
install it "wrong" on the build machine and then rebuild and install it
"right" just to get the package I want to install on another machine?
Seem like there would be a better way.

Thanks,

Drew
