next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
My /usr partition is to small for some of the larger programs (openoffice.org, jdk, etc) and I want to move my ports tree to a harddrive with more space. can I just change the line in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf that says "ENV['PORTSDIR'] ||= '/usr/ports'" to "ENV['PORTSDIR'] ||= '/mybigfatharddrive/ports'"? Will all the pkg tools such as portsnap, portupgrade, and portversion continue to function properly? will I have to edit any other config files before this will work seemlessly? -- What time is it? Dodgeball Time!
