Yes, there is a simpler way. make rmconfig You can recursively remote the stored configuration of the current port and *all* its dependencies too, by using: make rmconfig-recursive The `rmconfig' target should be documented already in your `ports' manpage. If you don't see it described in the output of `man ports', then it's a documentation bug. In that case, let us know, so we can fix the manpage :) Cheers, Giorgos
