Hey all, There's some disconnect between the ports tree and pkg-ng -- there's no good, easy way to say "I want to build this port with some custom options, but I want all the dependencies installed via pkg. (You can get run-time dependencies by installing it and removing it, then building your port -- but this still doesn't help build-time dependencies, which usually result in a string of "crap, crap, ctrl-c, pkg-install [build dependency], rinse repeat" That said, since recent versions of FreeBSD started following the quarterly build cycles, it means that if you build a port against whatever portstap pulls in, it can potentially require newer versions of libraries than what you sanely have installed. My question is: is there a way to have portsnap pull down the same "quarterly" that the pkg tree is being built against? And if so, can it be made the default? -Dan --
