Packages and dependencies...

[Forrest Aldrich]

Ah, thank you... this is a good thing.

Because I'm using a different PREFIX to install some code into, I think 
there may be a problem with this.  Here's what I get when trying to 
package up amavisd-new:

===>  Building package for amavisd-new-2.2.1_1,1

pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
*** Error code 1

My custom makefile (to drive this process) reads for this line:

@cd ${PORTSDIR}/security/amavisd-new && make PACKAGES=/opt/packages 
"${M1OPTS}" package-recursive

with

M1OPTS="PREFIX=/opt/mail-1.0 NOPORTDOCS=yes NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES=yes"

I had been using pkg_create, but I don't know if you can accomplish the 
same recursive thing with that alone.



Thanks.
