There is an example: I have a machine can be built on, and have the sources, docs and ports checked out on that builder machine. I would like to make release disc from 5.4-RELEASE-p4 to set up multiple machines, thus I don't need to individually upgrade them. I would like to have the whole ports collection on that disc, too. I can specify the location of my checked out source with EXTSRCDIR and my checked out docs with EXTDOCSDIR, but as for port collection there isn't such feature. I have to mirror the whole CVS repository if I really wanted to have it on my custom disc. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I've modified that file to add this feature, and I've put the diff file to my homepage: http://tux.t-hosting.hu/Makefile.diff This patch is against today's -current. I'd be gald if I could see it merged. This feature is really useful for me. It can be useful for others either. Btw, I've tested it. Works. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
