Hi,
I need to move a package from bsd9 to bsd10. Since pkg-create went away, I
am trying to build the tarball with 'pkg create', using 'pkg help create'
as my guide.
I've tried plists, +MTREE_DIRS and specifying 'dir' 'file', 'dirs' and
'files' in the +MANIFEST file. Whatever I do, when I run my pkg command,
e.g.:
pkg create -o /tmp/xx -f tar -m $PWD/mani
it creates a tar file in /tmp/xx with just the +MANIFEST and +MTREE_DIRS in
it, but no content and no hints what might be the problem.
Can someone post a very simple set of metadata files and pkg create command
that work? That would be extremely useful, like a 'hello world' of package
creation ;) I'm under a deadline so any pointers would be appreciated.
btw, I'm using: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789 and pkg -v 1.2.6, if that
matters.
thanks,
-johnd
