After having edited several Makefiles for ports, and then having them overwritten during a cvsup, I have come up with a suggestion that I think many people would benefit from. The suggestion is to take most of the variables out of the Makefile that have to do with the port's configure script, and put them into an optional file (Makefile.opts for example), and have the Makefile include that file if it exists. Then it checks for the existance of several variables (like CONFIGURE_ARGS) and sets them only IF they aren't already set.. thus giving people the option to customize the options without having these customizations overwritten during a cvsup. What does everyone think of this? Would this be hard to implement? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
