Sorry for the late reply, everyone - I was distracted with some other things for a while.
PATCHING: I'll probably have to look through the syntax of "OPTIONS" in the Makefiles of other KDE / CMAKE ports to get a handle on how to implement. Bapt >> you can have it installed on your system but not actually starting it. Yes, once it's installed, you can elect to not start the service - That's obvious. The problem is, source-file downloads are quite large and I really do not want to spend my bandwidth or compile time / cpu power on something I have no intention to use. As an example, the samba-client port downloads the entire samba tarball which is around 30MB. Add Avahi-mdsn stuff and you will probably get about 100MB worth of unwanted downloads. Plus, the download will not be a one-time problem, it will repeat for every update of those ports. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Ports-should-provide-knobs-disabling-unwanted-network-services-tp5798581p5799340.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ 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"
