I set the options in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf. It is easier to set options consistently across ports, for instance enabling CUPS globally, than with dialog4ports, while also allowing per-port option setting. It is also possible to have multiple option settings for different OS versions, arches, or option sets contained in different make.conf files. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
