Yes, good suggestion. I cannot remember why all the stuff was in
dot.bashrc instead of dot.bash_login. I've now moved it starting with
openpkg-20030205-20030205.

Another good suggestion I've taken over. Same for
%{l_prefix}/etc/rc.conf from now on.
Thanks for your feedback.

Bash login script vs dot.bashrc
I don't know whether this subject has been discussed before, but I would like to suggest moving the code from the openpkg .bashrc file into the .bash_login file since it's not uncommon for loops to occur processing the .bashrc file. Having the ``eval'' in the bashrc file can easily result in loops, and may well change and externally set PATH breaking some programs. It's been many years since I read discussion of what belonged in csh .login files as opposed to those in the .cshrc, but I seem to remember that things like the ``eval'' were better in the file processed once per session. Even if there are good reasons not to do this, I would like to see these files specified ``%config(noreplace)'' to prevent automatic changes when updating openpkg.
