Unfortunately the real answer here is for these ports to grow OPTIONS. In that way your preferences will be saved in a convenient way that will work with whatever port management tool you choose. The second most convenient way would be to use sysutils/portconf, and add the IGNORE option that LoN suggested. The least convenient way for you to do this and have it persist across port tree upgrades is to write it directly into /etc/make.conf in the manner LoN suggested. > 2nd question: how can I just keep a given version without having it > upgraded? portupgrade introduced the idea of placing an +IGNOREME file in /var/db/pkg/. I recently added support for that feature in portmaster as well. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
