Thanks Matthew, quoting the version number works, for some reason it 
insists on that even though everything else can be unquoted.

Does that mean I can't create an all architecture package that will work 
on FreeBSD 11 when it comes out, I would have to create a separate 
package for future versions of FreeBSD?

Can I also clarify how I specify which files to put in the package and 
where I want them put on the target system during installation? Can I 
package up everything in a directory with dir: {/path: 'sha256hash'};  ?

That only takes one path though,  is that the target path or the local 
path on my machine? How does the prefix value fit in? What if I want to 
put files in several places?

Thanks
