This reminds me, for ports it would be rather handy if each installed port could save the make options that you passed to when it was built so then when you build it again it can recall and use those options. Example: I built apache2 with ``WITH_SUEXEC=yes'', then after the chunking thing I did a ``portupgrade apache'', apache no longer works, scratched head for a while until I rememberd how I buile it origionally. Of course configurable as some people wouldn't always want the same options when they rebuilt ports, and I'm sure it would also cause a number of problems. - bobb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
