Erm, isn't ports code (more or less) release-independent? What's missing
in existing FreeBSD versions that's needed to support options.mk?
The make only looks into /usr/share/mk for includes, until told
otherwise. bsd.port.options.mk is included before bsd.port.pre.mk, so it
can't be found. Base system was modified to install stub of the same
name into /usr/share/mk to workaround this problem.
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?
I have some ideas on how to construct a working time machine, but I just
need some seed capital :)
