Being a package based system, you've to create a separate package for each combination of options you're going to support. IMHO, FreeBSD is not a package based system primarily. It is ports based and in ports based system you've the freedom to specify the OPTIONS with which you want port to be installed and a package to be built for it. And BtW, WITH_PYTHON is not defined by default which means the default port will not be built with python support, unless you specifically requests for it. If this seems okay to you, I can add OPTIONS. > --=20 > Andriy Gapon =2D-=20 Ashish SHUKLA --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkoEGRsACgkQHy+EEHYuXnSU4wCg0aby4fa7hbs9q7tVEnNSG5wr +XQAmgIDp6F3xirzyG/ikkBWUUZNXIgh =B5Fr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
