If there's an option you want to have set globally, it should be in the macports.conf But there are a lot of command line options we have right now which I wouldn't want to support as conf file options. I don't even want to have them as command line options. We even have some conf file options in trunk already which might should not be there. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
