I see that after completion of a build, it creates a package tarball -- even if I choose
make install clean
, make install && make clean
, or make install distclean
. What's the point? Shouldn't I be asked if I want to also create a package/tarball? I could find nothing in /usr/local/etc/* that indicates I have a choice here. I have nothing in /etc/make.conf, and I could find nothing in /usr/ports/UPDATING.Can someone throw me a bone here?
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
