Hello All,
Maintaining a make.conf file can be a fairly daunting task within
itself. But when upgrading, it becomes even more laborious. Peeking
into the port Makefile to discover any /new/, or /changed/ knobs is
standard fare. But it's not always obvious exactly /what/ the
WITH_<this>, or WITHOUT_<that> actually provides.
To the point:
Is there, or does anyone maintain a KNOBS list possibly categorized
by application/port/version, etc...?
If not, are there any resources that might help me facilitate one
online for myself and others to refer to?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.
For src/, there is an src.conf(5) manpage that documents
supported WITH_*/WITHOUT_* knobs. For ports/, I'm not
aware of such a list.
Indeed. I was aware of, and make much use of it. But am struggling
with finding the port(s) equivalent. If there isn't one, I'd be
more that happy to dedicate a domain/ web site solely to providing
this resource. Perhaps a wiki that I, and anyone else can add the
WITH_/WITHOUT_ options, along with descriptions of exactly /what/
they provide. Seems like a /real/ valuable, and /needed/ resource.
Thanks again for your response.

There's /usr/ports/KNOBS file, which lists some of most used KNOBS, but,
sadly enough, every other port maintainer tries to invent his own knob
names :-)
Cheers,
