The only way to build your own ports is to download the entire ports tree. If you do not have a complete ports tree, you are on your own. This has always been implied but has recently been made an explicit requirement. If you don't want to have to install the complete ports tree, you are free to download pre-compiled packages. >I have enough experience using the ports/packages over the different >3.x and 4.x releases to know that what you are suggesting is not >required or mandatory. You may have been lucky in the past. The current official position of the Project is that you _must_ have a complete and consistent ports tree to build ports. -- Peter Jeremy
