Both apply as a verb, but "make" is the only one I've seen used as a noun. > Is there a recursive flag to "make?"

Ok, portupgrade will do the complete install process. If you can create a command to apply your local patches - and it's the same for each port - you can use the -B flag to make to get it to run that command. I can see a straightforward script that looks for patches in /usr/ports-local/<port-specific-dir> and applies them if they exist. > Last question, an after-thought really: Are "beta" vs "final" relevant? Not that I know of. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
