You can add your own categories by setting VALID_CATEGORIES=3D<some list> in /etc/make.conf. A more interesing addition from my perspective would the ability to add new non-virtual categories with a single variable. Perhaps EXTRA_PHYSICAL_CATEGORIES would be a good choice with an EXTRA_VIRTUAL_CATEGORIES as well for symetry. Both could be added to VALID_CATEGORIES and EXTRA_PHYSICAL_CATEGORIES could be added to SUBDIR in ${PORTSDIR}/Makefile. -- Brooks P.S. freebsd-ports would probably be a better place to discuss this. --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
