14 That's the profile. This is cascading. The start point
15 is /etc/make.profile (check what the symlink points to) and downwards
16 the path (in fact, according to the "parent" files, i.e. "base" is the
17 most upward level atm.) to $PORTDIR/profiles in the "packages" files.
18 Note that the rest is up to the dependencies. The profile is in fact a
19 bunch of default settings, default masks and a default "system" package
20 list.
