Subject:   tracking local changes to ports?
Message-ID:  <20020923201648.GD39017@web.ca>

Assuming it's fairly common to make changes to ports for local reasons,
is there a recommended way of tracking those changes?

I know make and configure args can be specified for
portupgrade/portinstall in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf,
but what about changes to the ports themselves -- e.g.,
adding a local ./file/patch-xx file, or changing a postinstall 
script, etc.?

'make clean' clears the ./work directory, and cvsup changes the
ports tree, so presumably you want to save your local changes
outside the ports tree and make them again when you rebuild/upgrade
the port...

What are people doing about things like that?

Thanks.
