I just tried to compile a port for the first time, and I tried to follow the Handbook as closely as possible, as is fitting for a newbie. So, after becoming root in the port directory, the first thing I tried was "make config-recursive". And the first dialog of options was for bash. So I guess this port has the bash port as a dependency. But I have already installed bash as a package! If I go ahead with the build, will a bash port be built and installed too, overwriting the package installation - maybe with different and undesirable options? How does this work in general? Can I mix packages and ports at all, or do I have to commit to one framework or the other for all software installs? Thanks for clarifications. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
