Easiest solution would be something along the lines of=20
(1) adding the following to ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
.if defined(USE_READLINE)
. if ${OSVERSION} >=3D (whatever the number is)
LIB_DEPENDS+=3D readline:${PORTSDIR}/devel/readline
# other hacks for CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.
. endif
.endif
(2) creating a suitable binary world tarball with the libreadline not =
present in base
(3) hand (1) and (2) over to portmgr@ for a 9-i386-exp run, see what =
breaks, patch ports accordingly by adding USE_READLINE to the Makefile, =
rinse, repeat, commit.
Have fun.
PS: Don't forget the documentation of the USE_READLINE knob
PPS: I wouldn't be expecting much to happen here this side of the =
upcoming 7.x/8.x releases, since it's going to be relatively invasive =
work, and will most likely need repeated package building runs.
