Heck I know I can use su or sudo and after
chown -Rf user00:group00 /usr/ports/ /usr/src/ /usr/obj
I can build world or a single port with 'make'. It's easy.
But with ports I know the dependencies will not follow my policy to install the
every single port as:
$ cd /usr/ports/category/port00
$ make
$ su -
# cd /usr/ports/category/port00
# make install
# exit
$ cd /usr/ports/category/port01
... and so on ...
In different words, I want the 'make install' from the partivular port's
directory to automate
/usr/ports/category/ports00 # make install
behind its scenes like this:
# cd /usr/category/category/dependence-port01
# su user00 -c make
# make every_install_target
# cd /usr/ports/category/ports00
# su user00 -c make
# make every_install_target
Think 'dependence-port01' and 'every_install_target' are self-explanatory.
