Understood. Then we really have to wait till 5.5 and 6.2 EOL to use
options.mk... That's a bit strange to wait multiple years for an
useful feature, aren't there any workaround planned?
The question is, are there any workarounds possible?
Create a port of that, the old FreeBSD versions depend on it to install in
/usr/share/mk. I kind of don't like it, but it looks like it's only a
solution if it has to be in /usr/share/mk.
Cheers,
