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"
