Thank you. This put me on the right track. When I used the full name of the dependency, the command did not work with the complaint that it could not find the package so I did a pkg_info and looked for any reference to pkg-config. It turns out that if one chops off the _1 at the end, it did recover another package as in pkg-config-0.23.tbz which appeared in /uar/ports/dns/bind97. I copied it to the same directory as the other tar balls so pkg_add should find it also now.

The fact that you have to (re)install a port before you can make a package from it is considered a fairly big flaw, and there are proposals under consideration to modify that behaviour -- OpenBSD's ports system is frequently cited as an example of how such things should work. The solution is probably to create a package directly from what's already installed: # pkg_create -b pkg-config-0.23_1 pkg-config is an indirect dependency for bind -- it's required by security/openssl and textproc/libxml2 either of which bind are optional dependencies for dns/bind97.

Re: Bind9.7.1 Package
I wrote to the list about building a package out of a port of bind97 and am almost there. Matthew Seaman writes: > # make package-recursive which I did after configuring and installing bind9.7.1P2. I then put all the tar balls the make created in to a directory that is put on to the new system along with the bind97 base tar ball and tried to install the package on to a brand new system with pkg_add. It acts as if I almost have it in that it does find all the tar archives but there is one last complaint which kills the whole install. I get a message about pkg-config-0.23_1 and can not seem to find anything to save from the port that contains that string or any part there of. There is obviously some other little file I need to save from somewhere, but I am not sure what to look for. Thanks.

If you've built and installed bind97 already on one machine, you can create a pkg tarball easily: # pkg_create -b bind97-9.7.1.2 Assuming the machines are the same FreeBSD major version and have the same CPU architecture specified in /etc/make.conf and that they have the appropriate versions of all the dependencies already installed. Or just use: # pkg_create -R -b bind97-9.7.1.2 to create pkg tarballs of bind97 and everything it depends on. If you haven't built and installed anything yet, try: # cd /usr/ports/dns/bind97 # make package or # make package-recursive Generic package taballs should be available on the servers eventually -- keep checking in the 'Latest' directory Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If you can build the port successfully, you can build your own package. `make package' in the appropriate place will do it for you. Note that you will probably have to uninstall BIND first on the build machine, but `make package' will install it and create a binary package for you. You can then put the package on a local ftp server and point pkg_add in its direction or use NFS to share it.

Bind9.7.1 Package
In the /usr/ports/dns/bind9 ports there is a bind97 port that I had no trouble at all installing on a 8.0 system. If I do a pkg_add -r bind97, however, pkg_add reports that it is unavailable. I will be building several FreeBSD boxes with bind9.7.1 on them so a package would be faster. Am I missing the name of the package? If there is no package of bind97, this is not a huge setback but it will make each installation take longer before named starts to work.
