port xyz: the grey screen with all the checkboxes is wrong and won't come back
Obviously, 'make clean' doesn't reset the configure screen. Don't know why. I recall there was a faster way to fix this than 'portsnap extract' but I'll be damned if I can remember, and the ports section of the handbook doesn't even mention configure dialogs... I'd love to add a snippet to the handbook to cover this, but the last time I made an offer like that on [EMAIL PROTECTED], it appears to have gone into dev/null...

Is there a make configure clean? Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

'make rmconfig' should remove a previously set configuration. 'make config' should display the configscreen again if it had already been set before. These are described in the ports(7) manpage (which contains lots of useful information regarding the ports system - not least the BUGS section. :-)) > > I'd love to add a snippet to the handbook to cover this, but the last > time I made an offer like that on [EMAIL PROTECTED], it appears to have gone > into dev/null... > -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Search for config(-*) targets (you want just `make config`, I guess).

so where, phyisically, on the disk, does the data from make config go then? I looked in /. after make clean, and it's as clean as fresh snow...
