>Description:
1. The standard "man ports" way to show the current
configuration is
# make showconfig
This stays empty within editors/vim. Instead you have
to say
# make show-options
2. There is no documentation about this, neither in
UPDATING nor in the ports directory.
3. Tuning the options as descibed in "man ports"
results in
# make config
===> No options to configure
4. Obviously these both work:
# make -DWITH_OPTIONS showconfig
# make -DWITH_OPTIONS config
Again, there is no documentation describing this way
to take action.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Remove the silly "show-options" target.
Remove the ".if defined(WITH_OPTIONS)" line and its ".else" part.
