Hi list, First forgive me if this is not the ideal list for this thread, and please redirect me to the good one. After this discussion[1] I did spend some time in order to improve the script provided by Maxim Khitrov, and here is the result : - show all knobs supported by ports not yet

Ports build parameters (knobs)

2007-08-22 Thread Gabriel Linder
Hello, During the build of the graphical portion of my new FreeBSD-powered laptop I noticed that some knobs are not listed in /usr/ports/KNOBS and so, I can't add them to make.conf before building the packages. When I run make fetch-recursive for fluxbox, I get : WITH_DEBUG=yes Build

2007-07-18 Thread Gabriel Linder
Hi, This may sound as a dumb question, but during my 6.2-RELEASE (i386) setup I notice the following in the handbook : Remember [...] that partitions b, c, and d have conventional meanings that you should adhere to. But the partition d is used by sysinstall (with both automatic defaults
