(this is a repost of a message that I inadvertantly sent to
ports-committers@. thanks to edwin for pointing that out to me.)
What do you guys think of changing the +='s in bsd.sites.mk to ?='s? The
deal is this: say I have a specific AfterStep dist site that I want to
use, and I don't want the default listed sites to be attempted at all.
As it stands now, there are two current solutions that I see:
* edit bsd.sites.mk after every cvsup
* put like 100 entries for that site in MASTER_SITE_AFTERSTEP
in /etc/make.conf and turn on RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES
I propose a third solution:
Change the bsd.sites.mk to MASTER_SITE_AFTERSTEP?=, and then I can
define MASTER_SITE_AFTERSTEP to be whatever I want it to be.
What do you think about this? Is there another solution that I'm
missing? Would this cause more problems than it would fix?
