The best comprehensive example for using OptionsNG I found was on the forums: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=34019 . Basically, it would be nice for there to be a Makefile in ports that's used as a template for the explanation and would be worked into a full blown "here is how you tweak the port options via the command-line/make.conf" explanation. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
