Ok, if I would do so, my prefix would be /usr/pkg, and the bindir would be /usr/pkg/bin. So I would need to have an xargs and so on symlink in /usr/pkg/bin. But this is simply not acceptable, because it breaks other NetBSD pkgsrc scripts. Besides that, installing git to a different location is not an option for me, because I want to have git packaged by pkgsrc. I suggest Junio's solution will work (gitexecdir) but I have to try that later today. > At most you might have to make some of the tests use "git xyzzy" instead > of "git-xyzzy", and run "make install" before "make test". > > It wouldn't be wonderful, but hey, I've given alternatives (like using the > GNU tools by default, or helping make git more portable in the first > place). So it's a hack. Yes I know, as far as I can, I'm willing to help with this. bye dreamind -- http://www.dreamind.de/ Oroborus and Debian GNU/Linux Developer.
