At this stage, I think I don't want to ever again see a dialog4ports! How do I convert /var/db/ports/* options into make.conf-style options in a reasonable amount of time? I don't (yet) have a LiveSystem-make.conf apart from /etc/make.conf, but I have /usr/local/etc/synth/synth.ini I see (running "less" on this file) [Global Configuration] [LiveSystem] Directory_packages= /var/synth/live_packages Directory_repository= /var/synth/live_packages/All Directory_portsdir= /BETA1/usr/ports Directory_options= /var/db/ports Directory_distfiles= /BETA1/usr/ports/distfiles Directory_buildbase= /usr/obj/synth-live Directory_logs= /var/log/synth Directory_ccache= disabled Directory_system= / Number_of_builders= 6 Max_jobs_per_builder= 4 Tmpfs_workdir= true Tmpfs_localbase= true Display_with_ncurses= true leverage_prebuilt= false occurring four times, the latter three being verbatim repeats of the first. Now I want to get rid of the Directory_options line, should I delete the line or should I change "/var/db/ports" to "/dev/null"? Or just move /var/db/ports to /var/db/ports2, which I intend to do anyway? What if synth finds /var/db/ports no longer there?
