Hi there,

I'm replacing a 10.x system by one based on 11.1-STABLE r325708. On this system, I need to generate Arch Linux repositories, which is why I have pacman installed.

On 10.x, the port works fine, but on 11.x, bin/repo-add is empty, meaning I can't create any repositories:

08:14:16 ed@x ~ $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/repo-add
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  0 Nov 13 08:10 /usr/local/bin/repo-add*

Is this a known issue?

Figured it out: I saw some 'gm4: command not found' errors during the build. Installing the m4 package manually and rebuilding the port makes 'repo-add' work for me again.

In other words, pacman should have a m4 build dependency.
