PACKAGES is environmental variable - you'll want to change the variable, not the environment ;) To change it system wide permanently - yes, editing /etc/make.conf would be a good idea. The alternatives are setting it in your shell environment (depends on what you use) or defining it at install time (every time) with something like 'make PACKAGES=/some/dir package'. And there are probably other methods, too :) HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski <karol.kwiat at gmail dot com> OpenPGP 0x06E09309 [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRva1xAhgT0HIecD5AQi0aQgAu2ajGvF9ASffohXPpKvy9szI75ZEn+2T JPIdQdpur68GzZHBHI3G8cfwc8yW+nTNxubTEiewB7Qefo3HDYEiF5R4STwrxW9t bRlLWduwougDR7s3S20M6e0oU/RHidtb55Actla6w4T2QzVmQKbSRJ/qXOMdWVkH LQJrFcLx90cgLGAJnM78yxyCkpUT17dcnNdITt430FVfiM4vHbavh4pgP9AFirlJ T9HlatxSY7IRFCBr1P2DQ9AIY4Zk1TMd8u5qQbWEP/PEG89GcalnuCvTC5IFVnVY 6CCIIxFPGg5U++M+XKtrnimpBhzdNJN5VypRz0gDskhXiK5fh8BbAA== =9fdJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
