Read section 8 (Debugging) of pkgsrc/Packages.txt :-)

I use the following method:

1) touch /tmp/blah
2) cd pkgsrc/new/package
3) sort pkg/PLIST -o /tmp/splist
4) make
4a) su root
5) make install
6) find /usr/pkg /usr/X11R6 /usr/local -newer /tmp/blah -print > /tmp/files
7) sort /tmp/files -o /tmp/sfiles
8) vi /tmp/sfiles and remove the /usr/pkg/|/usr/X11R6/ via :%s/\/usr\/pkg\//
9) diff -u /tmp/splist /tmp/sfiles

Which normaly shows the @dirrm commands at first, and I can spot the
files missing from PLIST. I know this mehtod can be improved :-)
