Portmanager has recently aquired the ability to read pkgtools.conf, but it is not a system file, and it is not read by the ports system if you use the make targets directly. If you want to set options in a more general way, put them in make.conf, using "alternative configuration" method given on the portmanager man-page. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Place make options in either pkgtools.conf, pm-020.conf or /etc/make.conf, man portmanager explains how.

You can see for yourself, run portmanager -u -ui, it will stop before upgrading the first port. As it collects initial information any make options found in either pm-020.conf or pkgtools.conf will be shown to the right of the port name.

Passing make options to portmanager
I want to switch from portupgrade to portmanager, but I have a few questions. First of all, how do I pass make options to portmanager? (like the -m option for portupgrade). I often pass selected make options to multimedia players to choose what formats will be supported. Can someone verify that portmanager reads pkgtools.conf?
