Hello again. . .i noticed that we are in need of PBI creators. . . i wouldnt mind attempting to help out and try to create some PBI's, ive found myself sometimes compiling small programs and files together and zipping them and creating batch files for a quick install (kinda) of some set of tools i would need to use for Administrative Purposes at work. . . so i think i defently would be interested in doing this if and when the spare time is avaible to me. . .

Linux or BSD is not new to me, but im no programer, i really havent touched the CommandLine too much except for like browsing using BASH, some installing, creating users, and using ssh besides that im pretty much a NOOB!!

is this all i need to know in order to create a PBI from ports? http://faqs.pcbsd.org/19_310_en.html

You can find more information about how to create PBIs from forum (http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewforum.php?f=4).

For writing the install/remove scripts you should at least know the ln, rm, and cd commands. Usually you need to symbolic link some config folder during install then remove it on uninstall


ln -s /Programs/$1/share/vim /usr/local/share/vim



cd /usr/local/share/
rm -rf ./vim

back again...it's best not to ask about this stuff...been really busy..wish I had a system to use... :(

Anyway, I find that Dru Lavigne's tutorial is very good for creating pbi's.
