Assuming it's fairly common to make changes to ports for local reasons, is there a recommended way of tracking those changes? I know make and configure args can be specified for portupgrade/portinstall in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but what about changes to the ports themselves -- e.g., adding a local ./file/patch-xx file, or changing a postinstall script, etc.? 'make clean' clears the ./work directory, and cvsup changes the ports tree, so presumably you want to save your local changes outside the ports tree and make them again when you rebuild/upgrade the port... What are people doing about things like that? Thanks. - Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
