Hi,

good news to here you're working on the pkg.

FWIW: Do you know  epm?   http://www.easysw.com/epm/
It's  more or less a meta format that can produce pkg rpm deb etc formats.
I've found it very easy to understand and use.

For the file list I usually do :  make DESTDIR=/some/where/else install
and use find to get the list of files.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
