Greetings again. I have a two-part question that may be a ports FAQ, but I couldn't find such a beast. (1) For a particular port, I need to change the the MAKE_ENV to make it build the way I want. What is the proper way to do this that will live beyond the next time I do a cvsup? That is, editing the Makefile works just fine, but I want something that will live if the Makefile gets reverted. (2) For a particular port, I need to patch a particular source file. This is a patch that will probably be in a future release. Same question as above: what's the proper way to do this that will live beyond the next cvsup? I know how to use 'patch' to apply patches, but not yet to create them. --Paul Hoffman
