I should have shown how to find where installed
files are after installation. Using u-boot-rpi3
as an example:
# pkg info -l u-boot-rpi3
u-boot-rpi3-2019.10_1:
/usr/local/share/licenses/u-boot-rpi3-2019.10_1/GPLv2
/usr/local/share/licenses/u-boot-rpi3-2019.10_1/LICENSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/u-boot-rpi3-2019.10_1/catalog.mk
/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/README
/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/metadata
/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi3/u-boot.bin
