Separate package would probably be the best option. But default flags/packages should be ready-configured for most of users, shouldn't they? For others there are still ports. >=20 > Just my 2 cents. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --=20 Franti=C5=A1ek Farka
