Can you override a Makefile USES macro with a specific version?

[Echoxxzz]

Is there a way to override a Makefile USES macro with a specific version?
For instance in the "net-p2p\sonarr" port the Makefile has a "USES Mono" macro.
But the "Mono" package is defaulting to building the Mono package 5.10 and I want it to build 5.20.

Since there is no DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable for Mono the only way I have been able to get Sonarr to use Mono 5.20 is to comment out the USES variable in the Sonarr Makefile and I then manually build and install Mono 5.20.

Yes, there is?

# Possible values: 5.10, 5.20, 6.8
MONO_DEFAULT=		5.10

/usr/ports//Mk/Uses/mono.mk appears to suggest that a specification exists:

Usage:        USES=mono:ARGS

Have you tried something like

DEFAULT_VERSIONS= mono=5.20

yet?

I did notice that it's defined as MONO_DEFAULT= while everything else is SOMELANG_DEFAULT?=. I'm wondering why that is. That might mean you can't override it?

I originally tried:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mono=mono5.20

but it didn't work but I will give it a go again with your method.

it seems to default to lang/mono
mono and mono5.10 seem to be pretty much the same thing
what if you rename/lang mono and link it to mono5.20 ?

So far I haven't found a clean way to do this. The only solution so far is to either hack the Makefile or use a suggestion to rename and relink mono to mono5.20.

I'll try and e-mail the port maintainer and see he/she has any suggestions?
