pkg_create is gone so how to create package with pkgng

[gpatrick]

Built nginx from source and want to create a package for it. How is that done with the new pkgng?

# pkg create -o /usr/local/nginx nginx

The example in the man page is using ports to create a package. I've searched but have been unable to find an example of a custom package being created.

pkg create nginx should put the package file right where you ran the command after you've installed (rather than just built it) from ports. [edit] From source? Some of the mailing lists I may have seen complex answers to that question. [/edit] Easier to just build it from ports...

make package in the port directory.

Somewhere after make patch I've once "configured" manually within the extracted source code files, but unsure of the procedure now, it has been years.
