Hello Mark, # The way _I_ do it is to move my /usr/local out of the way, say to # /usr/local.BAK. I then make a new (and therefore clean) /usr/local # and install to that. I then move the new /usr/local to (say) # /usr/local.PLIST and the old one back to where it belongs. Way cool idea! So, when your'e done and Ok, you specify _another_ top-level prefix, some '/usr/foo' in port's main Makefile, do 'make clean all install' and voila -- it's here in the cage. Got it. This may become another way to check a port's correctness (if everything goes to /usr/foo, and some odd chunk of bytes goes to /usr/local anyway, you probably aren't Ok yet ;) # -- # Mark Murray # 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa # +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 # Finger mark@grondar.za for PGP key -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
