Questions about pkgmk
 

I've built crux without any optional packages and am now trying to add several*contributed*packages and am figuring out which of the opt packages I need. *Running with the -r option, adds every Pkgfile found below the current directory, which seems fairly useless. *I see two choices. *First is to have a small wrapper script, like this:

cd /etc/ports for PORT in opt/libxml2 contrib/lighttpd

opt/php opt/libjpeg opt/libpng opt/libgd opt/freetype contrib/php-gd*

do cd ${PORT}; pkgmk -d -i; cd ../..

done
The other idea (admittedly more SVR4-like) is to create a directory tree of the pkgs I want to*install,*perhaps*with symlinks back tot he /usr/ports directories. *This suffers from the fact that pkgmk -r doesn't seem to follow directory symlinks, so I'd have to create the tree with use lndir, assuming crux had lndir by default. *:(


I've also tried enhancing the above script to scan each Pkgfile for a "Depends on" line and installing those packages first, but I've discovered that the line is usually missing or inaccurate. *:(


BTW, the good news for the community is that I'm doing this in VMware Player, and am updating a wiki page as I go. *The page is*
http://crux.nu/Wiki/VMwarePlayer*, and it is referenced by*http://crux.nu/Wiki/CruxOnVMs, which I created following the style of the Crux on Laptops page.
