Sometimes whether a message is echoed depends on a knob. The porter's handbook includes examples of this. Is there a way to get the same effect with pkg-messages? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I'm sure with a bit of creativity you could display only a portion of pkg-message depending upon a knob. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I just checked the handbook again and couldn't find the examples I thought I had seen there. I'll take a look at devel/git. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
