Re: completly remove (or modify) a port
Look in /var/db/ports. Removing the postfix directory or the options file in that directory should do the trick. jw --On Wednesday, April 18, 2007 12:16:28 -0600 Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > I have been trying to work with postfix from the ports collection. > I need to rebuild it to include mysql support.

Re: completly remove (or modify) a port
what is the way to either remove the stored configuration file, or to manually pass the parameters to make. A look at the Makefile and the other files in /usr/ports/mail/postfix didn't turn up any hints. You can either: make rmconfig or just: make config Then re-build/install it.

You could also delete the cahed options file at /var/db/ports/postfix/options and run "make". -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

completly remove (or modify) a port
Hello all, I have been trying to work with postfix from the ports collection. I need to rebuild it to include mysql support. I tried #make deinstall but a subsequent #make install doesn't give me the options screen. what is the way to either remove the stored configuration file, or to manually pass the parameters to make. A look at the Makefile and the other files in /usr/ports/mail/postfix didn't turn up any hints.
