Let me try this again...
1. When building a new port, what is the preferred way of executing
Configure? I see the following in current ports:
a. Use the options "-sde -Dprefix=${PREFIX}"
b. Using a prebuilt config.sh file
2. Is it considered an error if the Configure file still asks you a
question when running with the "-sde" option? [i.e. I should ask
the author to add a default?]
3. What is the preferred method for handling different versions within
the port tree?
a. Assume that only one version at a time would be installed.
b. Rename the executable to have a version number. [If this is the
case, how to you handle cleaning up multiple executables?]
Thanks,
