At this stage, I think I don't want to ever again see a dialog4ports!
How do I convert /var/db/ports/* options into make.conf-style options in a reasonable amount of time?
I don't (yet) have a LiveSystem-make.conf apart from /etc/make.conf, but I have
/usr/local/etc/synth/synth.ini
I see (running "less" on this file)
[Global Configuration]
[LiveSystem]
Directory_packages= /var/synth/live_packages
Directory_repository= /var/synth/live_packages/All
Directory_portsdir= /BETA1/usr/ports
Directory_options= /var/db/ports
Directory_distfiles= /BETA1/usr/ports/distfiles
Directory_buildbase= /usr/obj/synth-live
Directory_logs= /var/log/synth
Directory_ccache= disabled
Directory_system= /
Number_of_builders= 6
Max_jobs_per_builder= 4
Tmpfs_workdir= true
Tmpfs_localbase= true
Display_with_ncurses= true
leverage_prebuilt= false
occurring four times, the latter three being verbatim repeats of the first.
Now I want to get rid of the Directory_options line, should I delete the line or should I change "/var/db/ports" to "/dev/null"? Or just move /var/db/ports to /var/db/ports2, which I intend to do anyway?
What if synth finds /var/db/ports no longer there?
