Now regarding the recommendation to add things to > /etc/make.conf, are these flags safe to be used _globally_? Yes, safe but will make binary bigger and might slow down the apps. I have a fast machine, so I can't tell the difference of speed for with and without debug. This is only useful if you have apps that crash and etc, so you can get the backtraces from gdb and send it to developers or mailing list. Mergeant/gnome-database libraries in development version at marcuscom (ports module) are more stable and work better, but it is still buggy. Yes, I am talking about run them. ;-) > Would this affect building world, kernel and other ports? Yes, I usually disable them when I do the buildworld/kernel. All my ports have been compiled with the debug, because I always use the development version. > Also, in the develfaq it is mentioned that Gnome has stable > and development versions ... what do these look like in > marcuscom? ports-stable and ports-experimental? ports-stable is empty; it's for when the ports tree freeze. ports-experimental should be gone soon or already by repo from ports-experimental to ports. The ports is bleeding edge/development, so it will have GNOME 2.9 soon, a unstable version. > Now, I'd like to have evolution working (see my previous > post) ... is there any experimental work on this port? I > don't see anything in ports-experimental/mail ... Because, there is no tarball of development version for evolution yet if I am not mistake. I didn't check on evolution and I don't use it too.
