Hi, I'm running pkgsrc on OS X 10.10.4, but I think my question is not limited to this platform. When building a package, I would like to be able to *automagically* mount a scratch disk as work directory, build and install the package, and then unmount the disk again, just by typing "bmake install". This would allow me to use a memory file system for the work directory, or any other scratch disk that I have attached to my machine. Are there hooks somewhere in pkgsrc that would allow me to do this? I imagine I'm looking for a "pre-extract" configuration option that would call a user-defined script, and similarly a "post-install" configuration option to unmount the file system once installation has finished. Could a pre-extract script be used to set WORKOBJDIR for example? WORKOBJDIR=$( script ) [haven't tried this] Thanks, -- :: Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri, Bioinformatics Developer, BILS, :: Uppsala University, Sweden ::---------------------------------------------------------------------- :: My other car is a cdr.
