Debian checkinstall style functionality for pkg_create command?
I've found the Debian checkinstall utility to be very heplful for creating quick and dirty packages from software that I have compiled from source.
I was curious if there was any way that I could use the pkg_create command in a similar manner, without having to go through all the ports rigamarole. *YES* I have read the entire pkg_create man page, and found it to be rather obtuse to be honest. |

Yes, pkg_create is obtuse: it is meant to be used by varius package tools, not general users.
the easiest way to make a package of a port is to use 'make package'. This will call the pkg_create command with all the options it needs. For instance: Code:
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox make package
