By 'used ports' I meant the installed ports/packages on the host that is to become the build machine, but whose selection of ports might not be the same as the live machine. If possible I would like to build the ports destined for the live machine using a completely separate package databased, target installation directory, etc. But the more I think of it the more I am convinced that using a chroot/jail is probably the best way to accomplish this. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
