I'm the original author of the "Automated package list creation"
document, although I'm more of a -doc person than a -ports person.

Well spotted. If we want to keep the documentation as it is, I'll
look into sorting this out.

That's quite a complicated script to follow, but it has the advantage
of doing everything at once. You also raised a good point that
/etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist isn't always the right file to use in
another post that I've deleted by accident.
I'm ccing green@FreeBSD.org on this because /usr/ports/Tools/plist
looks like the best way to improve the docs. Is there any reason why
the Porter's Handbook shouldn't reference this script? It requires
ruby, but I'd assume most porters wouldn't be greatly inconvenienced
by this requirement.
Any further thoughts on this?
Tom
