The pkg-plist/PLIST_*/MAN*/PORTDOCS/... set is not meant to be human-readable. See x11/nvidia-driver/pkg-plist for an example. What about moving package metadata (files starting with +) to a separate file ${PKGNAME}.metadata${PKG_SUFX} and modifying the pkgtools accordingly? When passed an uninstalled package name as argument, pkg_info would fetch the metadata tarball from the packages site, cache it somewhere beneath ${PACKAGESDIR}, and display the metadata contained in that tarball. Furthermore, the metadata files could be used to maintain a pkg_locate database. --=20 Jean-Yves Lefort jylefort@FreeBSD.org http://lefort.be.eu.org/ --Signature=_Sun__4_Sep_2005_20_40_37_+0200_ovtMMy.9T9D_noZC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDGz+lyzD7UaO4AGoRAl/4AJ4huD7dw51zt9HdkpJazqvTAMkoxgCfer4p oKU0kDEUTE/eV7btmaM8Rts= =Gkge -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__4_Sep_2005_20_40_37_+0200_ovtMMy.9T9D_noZC--
