Hello,
Does FreeBSD have a feature similar to the OpenBSD default functionality where if the package exists in /usr/ports/packages/All/ then it is simply installed when the user runs make install on the corresponding port rather than compiling the actual port.
I think this is an excellent feature and guards me from needlessly recompiling a port where a perfectly good package is already available in a folder next to it.
Is there something I can add in my mk.conf to enable this?
Best Regards
