How to get hints of software installed by Ports ?
Hi, I installed some software from ports today , and it outputs some useful information when finished. e.g where its config file is Due to some mistakes , i lost these important information , how do i see it again ? Is there any tricks to show out it directly ? I don't want to install it again .. Any ideas will appreciate ;-) -- Best Regards, Aaron Lewis - PGP: 0xA476D2E9 irc: A4r0n on freenode ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi you can directly inspect the contents of these files (located in the port folder) --- pkg-message --- pkg-descr for the ports that have them (for example cat /usr/ports/www/firefox/pkg-message) I am not aware of any other sources of useful informations. Maybe almost everything else is sent only to the stdout/stderr ? d ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
