* Have I run into a bug in pkg_add? I can only think of two things about * my port that are unusual. First, there are a _lot_ of files in the * PLIST: * * freebie$ wc pkg/PLIST * 2124 2127 85049 pkg/PLIST * * I know that used to cause a problem in pkg_create, but I committed the * fix for that long ago. (And the package looks OK.) I thought I had * determined that a large PLIST wouldn't be a problem for pkg_add. Was I * wrong? I had a private conversation with John about it, in indeed looks like pkg_add's bug, similar to pkg_create's. I don't know what we can do now, John is pretty busy with the Elfkit's stuff, so if someone can take a look, it greatly appreciated. You can see the latest revision of src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/create/perform.c for an example. Satoshi
