Question about pkgsrc installation dir
Hi, Why are we by default installing into /usr/pkg as opposed to standard /usr/local for 3rd party apps. This always bites me when Im installing manually various things that are not in pkgsrc that only look at /usr/local. I think it would have been much easier to stick to standard directories. Petr

This always bites me when Im installing manually various things that are not in pkgsrc that only look at /usr/local. Because /usr/local is for the administrator to install its own stuff. You should strongly avoid mixing managed and unmanaged files, so it would mean either installing manual stuff somewhere else or put the managed things somewhere else. The pkgsrc approach is the latter as sane default. Joerg
Can someone help make this compile on DragonFly?
Hi, Im trying to compile the official Canon drivers for MF4270(and other Canon printers) multifunction laser printer. Unfortunately Im not having success compiling many parts of the driver. it requires CUPS installed. http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/010931/03/UFR_II_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Src_v170_uk_EN.tar.gz It would be great if it actually also made into pkgsrc so others could use it. Thanks for any help. Petr
