You can already do this with make(1)-magic in /etc/make.conf. This is
also guaranteed to work, whereas the pkgtools.conf approach is flawed.
Example /etc/make.conf (platform specific)
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports*}
CFLAGS+=3D -Os
WRKDIRPREFIX=3D /vol/obj
=2Einclude "/etc/ports.conf"
=2Eendif
And my /etc/ports.conf (platform independant, meaning I share it across
several machines)
BATCH=3D true
PACKAGE_BUILDING=3Dtrue
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=3Dyes
PAPERSIZE=3D a4
A4=3D true
WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL=3D yes
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/audio/amarok}
WITH_XINE=3D true
#...
=2Eendif
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/audio/abcde}
WITH_CDDA2WAV=3D true
#...
=2Eendif
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/postgresql*}
#WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=3D true
=2Eendif
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/*}
WITH_THEORA=3D true
WITH_X264=3D true
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=3Dtrue
WITH_XVID=3D true
#...
=2Eendif
This allows for global options, category specific options and individual
options. It is processed early enough and doesn't care if you invoke
make install or portinstall. It will produce a correct INDEX, though
ports might be listed twice, since we have slave ports. The syntax
stinks, of course, and you still have to hunt for the Knobs yourself.
The OPTIONS stuff sucks, because it is interactive. It always reminds me
of the Windows 2000 (??) installation: wait 20 minutes, click next, wait
30 minutes, click ok, wait 40 minutes, click reboot. wtf?

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
