Change this company policy as it is unproductive. Sounds like something implemented by those lacking experience with FreeBSD. The time port maintainers have spent developing patch sets that ensure an easy build and install is not being leveraged. The time you spend developing your own workarounds to build software with the various autotools is more waste, you are duplicating efforts already made by others. The amount of time and effort you will spend when it comes time to update is effort wasted, because now you are duplicating the efforts of others yet *again*. If the company policy is dictated by people who have no concept of how to manage efficient man-hour usage, and who will not listen when others have superior suggestions, your company has other problems besides it's lack of knowledge concerning FreeBSD. -Mike
