Thanks for the info. I read man ports, quite a lot of bsd.ports.mk plus
list archives

If you want to see the dynamically generated pkg-message of a *port*, before building/installing it (f.e. to identify what gotchas there are), use the following:

make -C /usr/ports/category/portname WRKDIR=/tmp apply-slist && cat /tmp/pkg-
message
That's exactly what I was trying to do though the other replies gave me an alternative way.

thanks very much

Chris
