Port options and portmanager
Hi, If I want to retain a port option (that perhaps I passed at the command line using -D) between uprades of a port, will portmanager handle this automatically or do the options need to be placed in make.conf?

Thanks Chris Ah don't worry I have my answer. I need to use make.conf. Found it at the bottom of the portmanager man page. Great detail in the man page Mike. :) Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can put the option in /etc/make.conf if you want but then it will be picked up by all the ports. If you read the manpage for portmanager I think it should tell you about the configuration file where you can store all the options. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head at the moment I'm afraid.
