I thought I had something in /etc/make.conf, but nope. My build of OOo [311] recently finished on my new to-be server. Since both the new Dell and this older Dell are running 7.2, I figure I can do any builds and move the packages across. I thought I had seen foo.tgz in /usr/ports/bar/foo/; but this time, no expected tarball. --??-- A man ports isn't very clear. I usually type make install clean when I build anything. If I have to start over from scratch with openoffice would I type # make install package clean?
