Basically you have to install the file as settings.sample and add some pkg-plist magic. It's explained in more detail here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/plist-config.html Note that with staging you don't need the post-install part, only the pkg-plist part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
