If anyone has time, I had a nifty idea to protect concurrant building of ports: It might make sense to use the lockf(1) utility to make sure that two ports that started to build at the same time and had the same dependancy don't attempt to build the same dependancy at the same time? I think a simple lockf on the makefile would be enough to support that. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
