Is there a record somewhere of the changes that are made to ports that would allow me to modify the source without installing via the ports method? I'd appreciate if this didn't become a "why don't you use the ports collection" discussion. This isn't some anti-ports statement, I just find I learn a lot more about stuff when I build it myself.
