I have a patch (PR #23602) that will also recursively distclean if DISTCLEANDEPENDS is defined. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Shaffner | This space for rent. jeremy@external.org | $ grep happiness life http://www.external.org/~jeremy/pgp.key | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
