At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. One of the two of us is confused about this. As I understand it: A) Running "make build" but not "make install" doesn't really solve the "installing while running" issue. Sure, it won't install for that port, but it will build-and-install for every port upstream ... B) ... unless you're suggesting starting at the top of the dependency tree and doing build-but-don't-install by hand for every component in order. I consider this severely impractical; it also ... C) ... won't work with portupgrade unless one uses the "w" option. Or have I missed a memo? Robert Huff
