/usr/bin/readlink with the -f option when checking the PREFIX, but this option isn't supported on all 8.x systems. Wouldn't it make more sense to use /bin/realpath instead of /usr/bin/readlink -f? There's no reason to break older system. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme,

ns WITH_FOO=YES, but the OPTIONS file contains WITHOUT_FOO=YES. If the above precedence is to be followed, then the framework needed to find out whether the WITH_FOO setting came from make.conf or from the command line. I don't think there's an easy way to do that. Best regards O

ore specific. But anything specified on the commandline is definitely more specific than PORTS_DBDIR and should override anything else. One way to do that would be to introduce another pair of variables, e.g. OVERRIDE_SET and OVERRIDE_UNSET, so you could type: make OVERRIDE_SET=STATIC Best regard

ports/graphics/netpbm out of date

don't include any documentation. Instead they refer to the online documentation which is way ahead of the state of the FreeBSD port, as explained above. Is anybody working on updating the netpbm ports? Is there any problem with it that I'm not aware of? Best regards Oliver --
