Also how to I > make it "unremember" make options I don't want anymore? I don't know about that. If I want portupgrade to use custom make flags, I specify them in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. To remove options from a previous build, you can do: # rm /var/db/ports/<portname>/options > Also, semi related, whats this "Generating INDEX-5 - please wait.." > thing and why does it take an hour for it to generate? The machine is building the ports collection INDEX-5 file from the make describe output of all of the ports. You can simplify this process by doing 'make fetchindex' after you cvsup each time. -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate
