Chapter 13 The pkg-* files
- Table of Contents
- 13.1 pkg-message
- 13.2 pkg-install
- 13.3 pkg-deinstall
- 13.4 pkg-req
- 13.5 Changing pkg-plist based on make variables
- 13.6 Changing the names of pkg-* files
- 13.7 Making use of SUB_FILES and SUB_LIST
There are some tricks we have not mentioned yet about the pkg-* files that come in handy sometimes.
13.1 pkg-message
If you need to display a message to the installer, you may place the message in pkg-message. This capability is often useful to display additional installation steps to be taken after a pkg_add(1) or to display licensing information.
Note: The pkg-message file does not need to be added to pkg-plist. Also, it will not get automatically printed if the user is using the port, not the package, so you should probably display it from the post-install target yourself.
