In my case, i do not like the symlinks generated in various directories to the packages in All. I need to have a package in the ports directory, and let me move it wherever i desire. And yes, i specify the path to pkg_add instead of just port/package name when i need to install an already build port as a package. In such a scenario i would rather have new behaviour than the one you are suggesting. 'make deinstall' should not discriminate between a port & a package. ...all that unless i have missed something. - parv --
