As make install is normally run by root, this means that companies trying to NFS mount a single copy of/usr/ports are required to mount it write enabled AND -maproot=root. Also, it is not intuitive that one must do make reinstall on a new machine to circumvent the ports system. >How-To-Repeat: NFS mount /usr/ports read only and try to make install >Fix: Move the files read/written by make install and make reinstall from the ports work directory to /var/db/pkg/<PORT NAME>. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
