Any ideas?
This kind of things cannot be package at all even from prior stage. Because the generated package would have ignored the hardlink and when the package would have been reinstalled from binary package then you would have ended up with not hardlink. That said you can just use a symlink that works as well and can be staged easily. Another question is why installing in base when it could work from local base? /usr/local/lib/geom/geom_raid.so and the glabel might become a simple script: /usr/local/sbin/glabel: GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /sbin/geom label $@ Last is cannot it be integrated directly into base for the futur? regards, Bapt
