How to force this ? The usual solution is to make a slave port from this port, with the required options, and make your new port depend on this slave port. But warning: the original port and the new slave will conflict, and that might result in further conflicts! Another solution is to negociate with the maintainer, and see if he accepts to set your options by default… (When sub-packages will be a thing, this could be a hird solution in some cases) Regards. -- Th.
