Though I appreciate the modularity, I don't understand the need for the knob in this port. Perhaps the script should be renamed to match the naming used in ports like mysql-client and pkgtools for sake of consistency: 000.mysql-client.sh 000.pkgtools.sh Through past experience with the ports system, software that requires something to be run at startup needs to be enabled in rc.conf, which is why I suggested the change that sets compat5x_enable to NO by default in the rc.d script. Seeing that there isn't anything other than ldconfig being run, maybe we should forego rcvar altogether in this script as RW suggested. I posted the trivial one-line patch for that at http://bling.properkernel.com/freebsd/compat5x.norcvar.patch Cheers, Andy PS: Please CC me on replies.
