have made some improvements to EasyPBI. As per Ken's suggestion,
EasyPBI will now try to locate the defaulticon.png file if it
can't figure out any better icon for the port. EasyPBI searches
for this default icon in the current working directory and, if
it's not there, it will check PREFIX/share/pbimaker/ <br>
<br>
The underlying library has been updated so it no longer assumes
ports are kept in /usr/ports. We should now be able to work with
a port tree in any location. So if the user downloads the ports
tree using EasyPBI, we can now work with ports under the user's
home. This removes the last "root requirement". <br>
<br>
The latest version is attached. If it works okay, I'll submit an
updated PBIMaker and EasyPBI to FreeBSD's ports collection. <br>

Jesse, <br>
I just ran EasyPBI to make games/alienblaster, then ran
pbi_makport on the module and it built/worked perfectly! I think
it is about ready for release.<br>
<br>
BTW, I am also working on a GUI for EasyPBI to actually run
pbi_makeport (with appropriate options) once I get it to
semi-working condition, I will send it to you. The only issue that
I have seen is that pbi_makeport *requires* root permissions to
run. At least it should be the only part of the program that
does.... :-)<br>

Ken,<br>

For the parts of the program which involve building the PBI package
itself, may I recommend having a separate menu for that? Maybe put a
"Build" menu between the File and About entries? Then we could have
options like "Build PBI" "Install PBI" "Remove PBI".<br>
<br>
While I'm thinking about it EasyPBI should probably have a house
cleaning option to remove old modules, tarballs and the local ports
tree. I'll put those on my to-do list.<br>
