Hi again Bernhard, It looks like ports are building fine now. As I was building the first port on your system, I thought of an enhancement, and I am interested to know how difficult it would be to implement. I maintain various p5- and py- ports, and I often want to test them under multiple versions of Perl and Python, in case there are conditional behaviors in the Makefile. Assuming you're not planning on allowing users to create their own builds, what about adding the ability to set build variables in a make.conf file? For instance, if I commit etc/make.conf to my personal repository location, redports would overlay my options before starting the build. Then I could do things like force Python version 2.7, Perl version 5.10, etc. What do you think?
