Say, there are 5 applications -- A, B, C, D, E Installing A depends on B,C,D, and E. There is no problem that I type 'make install' under /usr/port/xxx/A that the port system will help me install B,C,D,E since they are required by application A. Supposed that E was also required by another application F which was already installed in the system, I wonder if I type 'make deinstall' under /usr/port/xxx/A and try to uninstall A, will the port system help me uninstall B,C,D but not uninstall E ? Thank you! Michael Lee
