What is your opinion? about "src.conf "

It is safe or dependable?

Today, I am very lucky! :)

I break my freebsd by a stubid # rm command.

But, I backup /usr/src/ and /usr/ports/ before that lucky command.

So, I install 8.0_amd64, restore /usr/src and /usr/ports, after this I recompiled the kernel and userland, then start compile ports.

As a lucky man, I failed with "gnome-doc-utils". Three days ago, I just compile everything, but today I failed.

Three days ago:
  1. I installed 8.0_amd64 (success)
  2. then compile the ports (success)
  3. then recompile ther kernel and userland (play with src.conf and # make delete-old) (success)

Today:
  1. I installed 8.0_amd64 (success)
  2. then recompile ther kernel and userland (play with src.conf and # make delete-old) (success)
  3. then compile the ports (fail) x(

In order to delete ia32 and ipv6, I add the following stuff in my src.conf:

Code:
WITHOUT_INET6=yes
WITHOUT_LIB32=yes
WITHOUT_PF=yes
WITHOUT_IPF=yes
WITHOUT_PROFILE=yes
WITHOUT_BIND=yes

After # make installworld I run make # delete-old to delete the redundant file.

So, I think src.conf result the compilation failure.

Reinstall again:
  1. I installed 8.0_amd64 (success)
  2. then compile the ports (success)
 
Is it wise to build without support for ipv6 ?

We will hit the ipv4 exhaustion in a couple of years (month ?).

I don't know, I use dhcp, and the dhcp server only support ipv4.
