I've always just avoided it. Is it safe to cd /usr/ports/1/2 make install & cd /usr/ports/3/4 make install ? if both go to like register the package at about the same time, will the package database stay not corrupted? I'm assuming both have all their dependents installed or they share no dependents -- to avoid the question of building in the same directory at the sam etime. - Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
