Hi,
what about the idea of using 'make config-conditional' instead of 'make
config' in portmaster to configure ports? This way
/var/db/ports/*/options is respected.
The downside is that you have to run 'make rmconfig' in order to
reconfigure the port options.

I second that emotion!
or possibly use config-conditional in -u unattended mode, and config
otherwise.
The problem with doing that is that there is (what I consider to be) a bug
in the OPTIONS framework where if you have an existing /var/db/ports/ file
for that port, but the Makefile introduces a new option, config-conditional
will not re-run config to allow you to twiddle the new option. I did
extensive testing with the various combinations of targets before settling
on the method I chose. Doing it the way I have is the only way to be
absolutely sure that you can set each option, even if new ones are added.
FWIW, I would really like to see the OPTIONS framework improved to handle
this, and other bugs; since I would like to be able to do what you guys
described here too. :)
hth,

Funny that you mentioned new OPTIONS. I've been running with
config-conditional for a couple of days now, and since I haven't added
anything new, I don't get any config menus any more. Which I like.
Perchance, I just looked at samba3, which was upgraded with my settings.
/var/db/ports/options/samba3 shows:
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for samba-3.0.23b,1
_OPTIONS_READ=samba-3.0.23b,1
WITHOUT_LDAP=true
WITHOUT_ADS=true
WITH_CUPS=true
WITHOUT_WINBIND=true
WITHOUT_ACL_SUPPORT=true
WITHOUT_AIO_SUPPORT=true
WITHOUT_SYSLOG=true
WITHOUT_QUOTAS=true
WITH_UTMP=true
WITHOUT_MSDFS=true
WITHOUT_SMBSH=true
WITHOUT_PAM_SMBPASS=true
WITHOUT_EXP_MODULES=true
WITH_POPT=true
and make showconfig shows:
===> The following configuration options are available for samba-3.0.23c,1:

===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
You can see the diff in version, and that FAM_SUPPORT has been added,
defaulting to off, which never changed my config. Nonetheless, had the
default been on, I might have installed a new port that I didn't want.
Or, I might have missed one that I wanted to include here in config.
It seems to me that these can be reconciled, example, just regex MSDFS
to a WITH or WITHOUT, if there are no changes in the KNOBS, then you
could run make config-conditional, otherwise, force make-config. Or,
just check for version information, if different, run make config
(unconditional).
I would be happy to try this if you want. Just let me know.
