Revert your ports tree to r327909 or earlier and stick with that. I'm sorry that you find the recent large scale changes to the ports tree to be beyond your comfort zone. Unfortunately, these changes are vitally necessary for the future of the FreeBSD project -- the ports were revolutionary 20 odd years ago, but since then, structurally they have stagnated and there has been no real strategic development for far too long. Yes, there are a lot of changes happening at the moment. We're trying to catch up with ten or more years of progress in a year or so. The technical reasoning behind our implementing these changes has been discussed elsewhere so I'll not rehash it further here other than to say that the vast majority of ports users and developers are behind where we're going with this. Staging is here to stay. There's no way of "turnng it off." If the amount of disk-IO involved in installing ported software really is a limitation for you, then perhaps you should consider using pkg and installing from binary packages -- you might think that staging involves a lot of IO, but it's peanuts compared to *compiling*.
