It shall be the default (pointing to /usr/ports/packages), because 'portmaster' is needed as a wrapper to mimic 'make'. Please do not tell me it is not needed, because if you use 'make' w/o one of the wrappers portmaster/portinstall, things get weird (recursive 'make'; search the matrix: "Recursive Make Considered Harmful"). Currently, if I do # portmaster -Dg --packages-build --delete-build-only big/ports_collection1 # portmaster -Dg --packages-build --delete-build-only big/ports_collection2 it will re-compile common build tools over and over again. This unneccessary building can be avoided with this option. Thanx in advance. >How-To-Repeat: See above. E.g. build KDE4 in steps, kde4-runtime, -workspace, -baseapps, etc. >Fix: RTFM "The Unix Haters Handbook" ;) Too many topics are still true... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
