With the patch in the PR applied, to select a version of Berkeley DB (supported by the port), all you need to specify is WITH_BDB_VER or <UNIQUENAME>_WITH_BDB_VER on the command line, in /etc/make.conf, or the pkg management tools conf file. cd dns/bind9-dlz make WITH_BDB_VER=3D43 build Currently, the PR is waiting for approval from the various port maintainers and a commiter to commit it. I have received approvals from about 75% of the maintainers. Scot PS. The patch also warns if obsolete variables are being used to select a version of Berkeley DB. -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message. Only slightly bruised.
