Populating a chroot/jail is one purpose. Another is to test a new version of a package without messing up the existing version. There are bound to be other reasons. Compiling the port rather than installing a package isn't always a solution. Many ports are incredibly difficult to get compiled. PREFIX needs to be an install time variable, not compile time. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
