It's really pretty simple - get a package included in packages/All (by making it a port) which does nothing more than install some prototype dotfiles for root, some collection of WMs and applications (all of which can be done by @pkgdep'ing an existing package rather than including the whole thing). Then it appears automatically in the index, perhaps in a category of "canned package sets" or something, and the user can add it just like any other package. man pkg_create or RTFM bsd.port.mk's package rule for more info. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
