Permanently tagged default options would be nice too (as in ml thread with Kevin Oberman). It would help with those 'why I can't do/compile X while using non-standard OPTIONS and having already forgotten about it'. I think it clearly looks like a dialog4ports feature request now. There is already a mechanism in place to describe what options do in more detail, it is to put the explanations in a file called pkg-help. See make -c /usr/ports/dns/bind9-devel config It tells you to type <F1> or ^E to see more information. (In reply to Mathieu Arnold from comment #2) Thanks, I've missed that, still, in my case I'm primarily concerned if an option pulls in another dependency or not, I think that's pretty basic stuff. Similarly, if it's a default or not. e.g. we now have '+' for previously unset ones, '*' could mark the ones pulling the other stuff and 'd' the default ones. It could look messy though, so there is a better way to do it probably. Moin moin Closing this, due to old age. Please re-open the issue, if it is still relevant. mfg Tobias (In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #4) Marking options in make config dialog which pull additional dependencies would still be nice to have. |
