For all package managers involved (pip, cpan, etc etc) create a wrapper that runs said package manager, and after it has done its job, it determines which files it has installed and records that as if a binary package was installed. Possibly the package manager supports showing dependencies, and they could be recorded as such. Possibly it could add a DEINSTALL script that calls the original package manager for deinstallation. This way, nobody has to write and maintain pkgsrc entries for all packages, but still they get recorded into /var/db/pkg. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- Wayland: Those who don't understand X \X/ rhialto/at/falu.nl -- are condemned to reinvent it.
