I see my sons use the "X11 build" (but I assume the SDL version is good
too).
Having multiple pkgsrc directories with different package names (versus
using options) makes it easy to build multiple packages and to have
multiple packages to try and easily test.
We should have bulk builds that can automatically test all the available
options.
We should have a way to provide separate packages (different filenames and
maybe different package names) for each option.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can do bulk builds and packaging for
available options?
What about naming of packages?
OpenBSD appends a name such as "-mysql", "-no_x11" or "-static" for its
"flavor" style packages.
