Hello all,
After issuing many make options to mplayer when installing, I noticed
today that it can be updated. If I were to do a portupgrade -arR,
would it remember the various options? I am sure this is a common
question, but I could not find a resolute solution after reading the
handbook and doing some searching online. I found that the primary
answer is that portupgrade cannot deal with this. What I have found
is that one can configure the MAKE_ARGS in pkgtools.conf somehow. I
have also found that there is some other tool (penv) that is used to
help out with this as well. What way is recommended? I know some
ports save this configuration information in /var/db/ports/ (I am
pretty sure that's the directory)... how can one force a port to save
such information? Or, is mimicking those files one other way of doing
what it is I wish? Any and all information on this would be greatly
appreciated. I checked the man page with pkgtools.conf and did not
see anything helpful. Thank you all for your assistance with this.
-Anthony
