While the portmanager, portupgrade, and portmaster tools allow you to keep your specific port options in a file, they are incompatible with each other and when building directly from /usr/ports, as the port options in these seperate files are not available to the other tools or to /usr/ports. This deficiency has been fixed with the sysutils/portconf port, where you can specify your port options in PREFIX/etc/ports.conf file, and these tools and direct building from /usr/ports will use these port options. For example if you need a global WRKDIRPREFIX, you can use the following in the ports.conf file: */*: WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message.
