If your program was packaged in pkgsrc, the package maintainer would make sure it knew, by patching either the source or configuration files of your program as a step in the package installation procedure. At least that's how I think it's supposed to work. The pkgsrc system tells your program, your program does not ask the pkgsrc system ;) Regards, Aron Stansvik _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
