I've finally been able to bootstrap CURRENT FreeBSD on some new hardware I picked up -- that is, successfully get world/kernel built/installed on it. I see there's a newer version of clang in base (4), which I had hoped that ports would pick up on, and use. But I suppose it's a bit early for ports to start requiring 4. That said; given the time it takes to build install fresh version(s) of these. Is there any way to limit the version /chosen/ by the ports tree/framework? It's painful firing up a build of a meta-port, and watch more than one version of clang/llvm be built for the BUILD_DEPENDS, only to have it cleaned and never installed, only to be built again, and again... You get the picture. :-) Anyway, as I indicated; I'm hoping to limit the ports framework to building/using only /one/ version; say >=3.9? I'd simply look through the system I have, but it's in a build session, that looks like it won't be finished for more than an hour. Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris
