That would be a worse position if i happened to have a slightly older version of a dependency port (but new version exists in the ports tree) which would work just fine for the port needing that particular dependency port. pkg_add already suffers due to a similar problem; i would like the ports not being infected too. > Another benefit is less drive space is used because after each > dependency is built and installed it is cleaned There should be some mechanism to disable cleaning. - Parv > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=91105 --
