It does, inasmuch as it's genuinely a "5" in the file. That's something, at least.

None of this is as documented, so the change that I've just made may or may not work. Give it a try.

#FreeBSD #pkgng

I was pointing out the poor state of the #pkgsrc doco in #NetBSD a little while ago. This is the area where #FreeBSD is equally bad with #pkgng.

FreeBSD's pkg-create(8) manual page assures us that +MANIFEST files must have "file" entries one per file. But the actual code for the pkg command only looks for a "files" object with an array of files.

Making manifest and "build-info" files for these tools is not a case of doing what the doco says to do.
