You also want to handle build dependencies which are not required once the port has been installed. >At the first place, I think such a situation occurs extremly rare.=20 For an opposing PoV: I often see ports that looks interesting or look like a possible solution to a problem and will install the port to have a play. If it turns out that it's not suitable, I would like to be able to easily unistall the port and any dependencies it pulled in that I didn't already have. Currently, this is a fairly delicate operation and I usually base it on timestamps within /var/db/pkg. --=20 Peter Jeremy --NKoe5XOeduwbEQHU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGcoHt/opHv/APuIcRAld9AJ9OC2KeYlUuV0P/o5Aqo5YF7e9RuACgr1Pc M7vL0W5IsRlDT3r8Zm0EcVE= =g7Zl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NKoe5XOeduwbEQHU--
