An app I'm developing requires PHP 5.0.4 and PostgreSQL 8.0.3. The OpenBSD 3.7 ports version of PHP still insists on the old PostgreSQL 7.4 port being installed, even though I already have PostgreSQL 8.0.3 installed from source.
I like doing things the OpenBSD-way : having files installed where the port suggests they go, etc. So my question is... how can I install my important newer-version apps just like OpenBSD ports (or even using OpenBSD ports) - but with the newest source? Do I have to learn how to make my own port? Should I just copy the compile flags? Run a patch on the port so that it grabs & builds the newest source? Any suggestions (or URLs to suggestions) appreciated. Thanks.
