Am I wrong? 'clean-depends' is used to clean dependencies. 'clean' removes work/ _and_ also cleans dependences, unless NOCLEANDEPENDS is set. > Also, The Handbook refers to a > "make distclean" target for ports, which I do not see listed in the > "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" makefile.

No, this target is present (around line 2250), but isn't documented in the list of targets near the beginning of the file. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
