Hello. 2012/10/29 16:28:11 -0400 Michael Powell <nightrecon@hotmail.com> => To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org : MP> Perhaps by way of example I can illustrate: I run Apache as FastCGI with the MP> event-mpm, mysql, memcached, and PHP in the FPM configuration. It is a MP> highly customized and tuned environment which is easily obtained utilizing MP> the inherent configurability of the FreeBSD ports system. jfmi: Which of them can not be found in a 'gentoo'?

You can configure separately each port the metaport consists of and then build that metaport. Those "defaults chosen from begin" do not depend on if the 'nested' port is being built as a part of a metaport build process or separately thus no restrictions observed.

You will also What if being a proper sysadm means ability to deploy a package on thousands (tens of thaousands, etc.) of machines? In formal terms this means create a package and install on the every machine. This cannot be a several packages because this makes the whole task less quick and the solution less reliable. And the creation of such a package can be a more trivial task for sysadm than the such of a package installation or upgrade by itself. Such a metaport can be a person-scale/company-wide solution, not a public one so no harm for the general freebsd usage approaches/pphilosophy which is a kind of a public stuff. -- Peter Vereshagin <peter@vereshagin.org> (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: A0E26627
