Building packages without installing them?

2009-03-20 Thread Ross
I want to use my home server to build Xorg and KDE packages for a
desktop. man ports says make package will install the port. I don't
need Xorg on the server and I would like to tweak make.conf to build
for a different architecture. Is there a way to do this?

Not currently possible, but there are a great deal of suggestions there.

I do believe that man pkg_create will give you the correct answer :)

You can build for a lesser OS version, architecture (i.e. amd64 vs i386), no.

Making a package always require install, however if you use a jail or chroot, 
nothing stops you from doing pkg_delete -f '*' after the relevant packages 
have been created.

Use ports-mgmt/tinderbox. Very powerful and relatively easy to use.

You will have to follow the instructions here:
