Thank you for a very complete way of saying "RTFM" -
I confess a distaste for heavy lit, but man pages!
I thank you again!

I stumbled into a problem trying to get xorg up on my
current 9.0-RC1. I selected an intolerable choice,
notable PTH. Now the choice of Python causes the build
to fail, and I can't find the output of dialog(1).
Question: How can I restart the build with a new
dialog(1)? Put another way, where are the various
build variables kept?
The options are stored in /var/db/ports/<name>/options.
The "Frontend" to access them is:
# make config
# make rmconfig
# make config-recursive
# make rmconfig-recursive
The last two options are really helpful when the problems
you're encountering are provided by a dependency port.
See "man 7 ports" for details.
Optional, in worst case, options can also be provided
my a Makefile.local in the port's directory. Also note
that /etc/make.conf as well as the configuration files
of port management tools may contain options.
Once again, this old 650-704-7070-PDP4-KA/KI/KL/KS-CTSS-
Convex-IBMPC-3B1 warrior needs help :-}
Impressive path! =^_^=
