In pcs.freebsd.ports you write: >I read the FAQ in /usr/share/FAQ but was unable to answer the most >important question. How? How do I pull ports over ftp without having to >re-create (by hand) every subdirectory in the ports collection and >performing an mget * for each of them? Get the whole stuff (or subdirectories you're intereted in) as compressed tar file using wu-ftpd's magic: cd /pub/FreeBSD get ports.tar.gz <- where there's a directory ports >It seems to me that there should be a world mountable F.S. for me too >"mount r" that I can use to run the makefiles directly off of. Hmm, I suppose you could do this by defining WRKDIR to point somewhere writable (as an environment variable), but then *every* port would share it.
