They could easily use symbolic links to do the following cd /usr/local cp -rp /usr/local/tet/* /largefs rm -rf tet ln -s /largefs tet I do this for example with the squid port. Or they should get a hook in the port, so that they can build the port with make TET_DIR=/someplace And if BATCH mode is enabled we default to /usr/local/tet or whatever (didn't look at the port exactly). But this would be doable without too much work I think. -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ? http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~fsmp/SMP/akgraph-a/graph1.html "NT = Not Today" (Maggie Biggs) ``powered by FreeBSD SMP'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
