Subject: Re: "make clean" now cleans dependencies?
From: asami@freebsd.org (Satoshi Asami)

 * I'm working on a new port on thud, and discovered that "make clean"
 * now tries to do a "make clean" in all of this port's dependencies.
 * At least while creating a port, "make clean" is something that I do
 * a lot, and I don't want to have to rebuild tk every time I clean and
 * rebuild my port.  

Why is that, it doesn't remove the installation of tk.  For most
people this is just a no-op anyway.

 * 		     Can the clean-depends target be made seperate,
 * or triggered by "reallyclean" or something?  Or is there a reason

If you really need the tk build dir lying around, define
NOCLEANDEPENDS in your environment.
