My impression was that pkgsrc changes its base location monolithically; e.g. all packages to the same spot, which is /usr/pkg/ by default. It may be possible to do something in a jail or with chroot where you build a new pkgsrc location with a bootstrap, install to that location, package up that install, and then use it with your normal pkgsrc install. Or I could be overcomplicating it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] may also have answers.

Diffed freebsd-CURRENT and there were 4k lines of diff, so rather than wade through it, I tried that particular patch, which applied cleanly to the DF code. I probably will check ppp-upstream later depending on testing results if I can't fix the problem as the patch didn't work.. The portions related to the obsd diff here seems to have been applied to FreeBSD post-fork however, and still needed, which brings up the more general question of maintenance, etc than my ongoing ppp 'investigation', which is more what I was getting at when I posted.. which brings up a side question of - would it me more appropriate to synch with awfulhack or fbsd?, etc, etc.. but thanks again, probably worth checking out, and should have mentioned I'd looked there. Thanks, - Chris

User-Land PPP vs. Free/Open
While trying to investigate the SIO/PPP problems, I came across this: http://osdir.com/ml/os.openbsd.tech/2004-11/msg00085.html Which seems to suggest that the DF implementation of user-PPP is a bit behind w/r/t other OS'es. That particular patch applied cleanly, appears to be in Free/Open, and did absolutely nothing to fix my problem :) I tried the kernel version, but it didn't work immediately and the interactive mode of user-ppp seems a bit more 'debugging friendly'.. so anyway, I'll be setting up an OpenBSD box to troubleshoot / diff the debug logs, etc. But, it made me think - if there is anything missing bug-wise in the ppp, how would I go about submitting a patch ? Thinking either: - diff with free and see what happens when I apply the patch (BAD!) - Manually merge changes against 2 known versions and submit the diff ( Better. Best? ) My other submits have been 'new code', so the 'synch procedure' hadn't been an issue.. the 'Development' page on the wiki give kind of a technical how-to, but not necessarily procedural.. Perhaps I should ask again, when I have a patch from another source, but that's more than likely a matter of time .. :) Also, anyone planning on a massive ppp synchup anytime soon ? Thanks, - Chris
Using PKGSRC to install to non-standard LOCALBASE
If I wanted to build Apache, for example, out of pkgsrc but I wanted it to be installed to a different prefix than LOCALBASE, how would I do that? There's enough warnings about using different values for LOCALBASE that I'd thought I'd check with the more experienced people out there. -- Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< If it works...use it.
