First,  before you tell me to do it,  I have already RTFM, done a google
search,
and even looked for examples.   Here is what I am trying to do.

I have to generate a set of packages for amd64 and i386 systems.

I usually have a simple script that does:

cd /usr/ports/XXX
make
make install
make package
cp <generated package> /.../repository


This served my simple needs well, as most of the time I had gone through
the configuration process and set up the default options that I wanted.

But this requires me to
a)  run through this process once by hand
b)  copy the /var/db/ports/* to a machine with another
     architecture
c)  pray that the port options are the same on the i386 and amd64
     versions.


What I would like to do is pass in a set of default options on the
command line
such as:

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
make configure THIS=yes THAT=no
make
make install
make package

I just know that somebody out there is doing this better, slicker,
and with more savvy than I am doing this.

OK. How do I do this? And just in case there are some others out there, could you put this information, or a hint to it, in the ports(7) document?

IMHO it is time you look into the wonders of Tinderbox.

-jgh

OK, I ripped the tinderbox documentation. It is, more than likely, based on my 20 minute reading, going to do EXACTLY what I want. However, I think I might add that there is a bit of a learning curve here - actually, more like a learning 'splat against a brick wall'. Ok, if it needs tinderbox,
then I will learn tinderbox.

BUT!!! Is there an idiot simple, put this on the command line alternative to this to handle the 3 (three)
!@#$!@#$!@#$ ports that require me to hand tune them?
