And as I have already posted if you want to keep a specific list of
ports you wish to have built by a make in /usr/ports, simply
cd /usr/ports
cp Makefile makefile
vi makefile (change SUBDIR to be something like this:)
SUBDIR=	devel/gmake							\
	mail/elm mail/metamail						\
	net/gopher net/sup net/tcpblast					\
	print/a2ps print/ghostscript					\
	utils/iozone utils/ispell utils/lmbench utils/mtools utils/top	\
	x11/xearth

[My personal list of ports that I always like to have :-)]


This is a 2.2 feature...
We already have lots of knobs, I am working on .mk stuff that will help
some more with this (any directory that is in SUBDIR, but does not
exists can be skipped without all the crap we have in /usr/src/Makefile).
