I will add this to the current test system build just to guage the time/space involved. No guarantees right now that it will be published. The risk is that of NEW_XORG and SSP adding in more builds may extend past 7 full days which will not give us predictable builds. This is mitigated by using a pool of build systems and a queue, which I plan to implement. The package building infrastructure is still growing and evolving. As for skipping unneeded ports the best I can do is '-a' or "Build it all". If a port is only needed for WITH_X11 then an IGNORE should be added to it when WITHOUT_X11 is set to prevent wasting time on it. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery
