It's not convinient when you have a task of redistributing several up-to-date ports along several systems. I propose create another variable for the port build precedure, which will specify that package needs to be build. In this case by using this variable in make.conf we can make sure that packages for all installed ports are build when needed. To not to brake current idea of packaging _installed_ ports. This variable needs to be processed by the "make install" procedure and not just make or make build. Thanks, Gene
