I don't recall it, but perhaps it never arrived, there was a serious mail disruption via my ISP a short while ago (they switched to a new mail agent). > I know this is not a really desirable solution.

OK, I went & saw in bsd.port.m: # IS_DEPENDED_TARGET - # The target to execute when a port is called as a # dependency (default: install). E.g., "make fetch # IS_DEPENDED_TARGET=fetch" will fetch all the distfiles, # including those of dependencies, without actually building # any of them). This sounds fine, but IMO would be nice if `make fetch' adopted a `recurse & fetch but dont make' style action by default, rather than by manual assertion. > Requested by: paul > Reviewed by: paul, jhs and others Umm, maybe that was something else I reviewed ?
