<Rant> As far as I can tell this and many other configuration options are not documented anywhere outside of the .mk files themselves. Is that really how things should be? </Rant>
Let me tell you a totally awesome secret: YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS! :-D omg
Yes, I know. But I should never be trusted to organize a project, and this is far too much for one person:
$ cd /usr/ports/Mk $ sed -n 's/^ *\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)?\{0,1\}=.*$/\1/p' *.mk | sort | uniq | wc -l 1593
If someone else is coordinating a project to document all of those, I'd be happy to contribute.
Why do you think it needs to be solved all at once? Nothing ever gets done that way. You have learned something that you say is not documented, so the solution is for you to document it.
Go on, pull out your favourite editor, edit the ports(7) manpage, then send-pr the diff. I dare you :)
