around now.
Make a symlink "Makefile" so I don't have to "make -f ../../Makefile"
when I'm restarting an aborted build.
Print out pnohang messages along with ptimeout messages.
Count the number of jobs at the beginning of the second phase too.
Check integrity of packages at end with gzip -t. Remove the ones that
don't pass the test.
Don't try to compare list of packages if there is no prior list to
compare with.
If the -norestr flag is given, copy the packages to the ftp site.
This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports
For general information on the ports collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook which is available from:
file://localhost/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
(if you installed the doc distribution on your machine)
Or:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html
for the latest official version from FreeBSD-current.
The section "The Ports Collection" will tell you how to use the
ports and packages and the "Porting Applications" section
describes how one can contribute to the ports collection.
If you would like to search for a given port, you can do so easily
by saying:
make search key="<keyword>"
Which will generate a list of all ports matching <keyword>.
NOTE: This tree can GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect, though if you don't have the original
distribution tarball(s) for something on CDROM then you will need to pull
it all over your network connection again if you ever try to build the
associated port.
