Your own port in the FreeBSD ports tree

Comments Off on Your own port in the FreeBSD ports tree

Creating your own port in the FreeBSD ports tree makes 3rd party software maintenance at lot easier.

If you have a whole bunch of computers it might make sense to gather all common ports in one base port, create role ports that depend on the base port, and finally create ports specific to each computer, depending on the relevant role ports.

Change XYZ into a prefix unique to your organization to avoid potential name clash.
