History

John Polstra fc29ad10fd Fixed pkg_create to eliminate the limits on the size of the PLIST. Formerly, there were limits on both the number of files (hard-coded into the program) and the number of characters (because of the ARG_MAX limit in exec(2)). In this new version, the filenames are passed to tar through a pipe, using tar's "-T" option, rather than on the command line.		1996-02-06 22:49:11 +00:00

README

This is the pkg_install suite of tools for doing maintainance of
software "packages".  More documentation is available in the man pages
for each individual command.

This code was written by Jordan Hubbard for FreeBSD, snatched and
mildly reshaped by John Kohl in NetBSD and the changes taken back into
FreeBSD again by Jordan, who then proceeded to add another couple
of dozen features on top.  Whee! :-)
