This gives you a ports.conf file where you can put global and per-port configuration options. This file will be used regardless of what ports tree manager you use, as it hooked into /etc/make.conf. Per-port configuration should not be part of a port upgrade tool. It should be handled by the ports tree. Which is what portconf does. -- Freddie Cash fcash@ocis.net
