FreeBSD package totally broken about riak

[jaredmorrow]

Try checking the packages directory, you were trying to do a pkg_info command on the source tarball.

$ pkg_info riak-1.2.0pre1-FreeBSD-amd64.tbz 
Information for riak-1.2.0pre1-FreeBSD-amd64.tbz:

Comment:
Riak highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed database


Description:
Riak is an open source, highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed database.

Was this package tested at all? It's completely unusable.

Thanks for being levelheaded and polite about it.

I don't see any documentation in the source tree (aside from the Makefiles) pointing me the package/packages directory. Where would it be appropriate to document this, and would you accept a pull request for such documentation?

Documentation will be written for 1.2 (when FreeBSD will be supported) when 1.2 is released. The output of the make package RELEASE=1 command shows where the package is copied so for people building from master it will at least give a hint.
