I am also interested in creating a common set of pkg subroutines
(pkg.subr) that all of the ports could use for the
pkg-install/pkg-deinstall scripts.
We could then define a common set of routines to do the following:
User/group functions
- check for user/group
- add user/group
- remove user/group
file functions:
- add/remove an entry to /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/newsyslog.conf
(see net/cvsup-mirror)
- add/remove an entry in /etc/crontab (see net/cvsup-mirror)
- add/modify/remove an entry in /etc/services (mail/cyrus-imapd*
requires "sieve" to be appended to the port 2000/tcp entry)"
The only problem I see is how to handle old systems that don't have
the "pkg.subr" file (possible a sysutils/pkg_subr port) and where is
this file going to be placed (/var/db/pkg?).
