cd /usr/src/pkgtools/pkg_install/ bmake USE_DESTDIR=yes package pkg_add -u /usr/src/packages/pkg_install-[DATE].tgz The same procedure works with bootstrap-mk-files and bmake packages. And one more small related hint ... Note, that pkg_add rejects update attempt to the same version already installed. I often screw up some of my packages during development and would like to reinstall it from known good package. Then this procedure works: pkg_delete -f <package> pkg_add package.tgz pkg_admin rebuild-tree -- Hasso Tepper
