These says I usually build my packages in a chrooted environment and use a meta-pkg that contains all the stuff I normally want installed. Once that completes successfully I shift aside /usr/pkg and /var/db/pkg then copy the ones from the chroot into the correct location. Much safer and easier. > > Can pkgsrc be reset back to a clean state in any way? > move aside /usr/pkg and /var/db/pkg. That should give you a clean slate. -- Brett Lymn Staple Guns: because duct tape doesn't make that KerCHUNK sound - xkcd.com
