It was brought to my attention that some of the packages with long
packing lists (like > 4KB) were misteriously truncated during the
pkg_create stage.
At this moment, ghostscript and jp-*mule are known to be broken.
People, please check your the packages of your own ports and send me a
note if it's broken. You can find them in ftp.freebsd.org's packages/
subdirectory or thud:/e/ports/packages (same path from freefall).
The temporary fix is to remove all the filenames from the subdirectory
and just list it as a directory entry. For exmaple, if the
subdirectory "lib/foo" contains three files "bar", "baz", "bleah",
instead of
lib/foo/bar
lib/foo/baz
lib/foo/bleah
you can list it as
lib/foo
This is NOT the recommended long-term fix, as it will be easier for
post-installation files to sneak in (like I've done a couple of times --
people picked up my personal dictionary in the Wnn package! ;).
However, since the release is imminent, we might not have time to fix
pkg_create or whatever other part of the system that is breaking the
packages.
Thanks
Satoshi (the sleepy ports-meister)
