Well, when I update my ports tree as a whole (approx. "whenever I feel like it", which means maybe 2 or 3 times a month), I do a big find first that clears out work dirs (as well as Makefile's, CVS's conflict files, etc) before doing the cvs up. But newfs'ing is good for the soul! 8-} -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
