You might consider doing your builds and testing on another machine
entirely, to avoid disrupting a system which is in use.
Quite right! But a couple of reasons I elected to do it anyway;
* I have a *good* backup schedule
* This server is scheduled for upgrade (source && ports)
So if anything went too terribly wrong, nothing is lost.
Also, it only clobbered some of the includes, and ini files.
Given that I had no reason to add any more extensions/libs to
the PHP4 version, no harm done. PHP4 runs as it did prior to
the PHP5 experiment. :)
Another option to consider is using a chroot'ed environment or jail
using $DESTDIR (cf /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.destdir.mk). Finally, if
neither of the previous seems to suit, then you can change where
ports are installed by adjusting $LOCALBASE.
I'll have a close look at $LOCALBASE. That sounds like a good
candidate. With any luck, it'll also cover extensions, ini(s), and
related libs. :)
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
