Of course, doing "make config-recursive" is even better. That way you actually do have a chance to set the options, but on all screens in one go. After that, you can just get up and leave it to work. If you use portupgrade, you can also use /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to record your preferences for options, they will be then used for all subsequent upgrades. Also, luckily the options do not change with every version upgrade, so it is quite possible to set them once using "make configure-recursive" and then only change them if there is a reason to, because your choices are recorded and automatically used by the ports by default. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest HungaryReceived on Fri Jul 04 2008 - 04:16:05 UTC
