Overhead would be in the time & other = computer resources (file handles, CPU time, etc.) it will take to = calculate the MD5 check sum for all the files of a installed port. No, the checksums are only computed for the files given to the -W option -- an infrequent operation. = Imagine that when installing more than one or two ports, or a large = one. I don't need to "imagine" it -- it already happens :-) Every time you install a port, every file is checksummed and the sum is recorded. My patch simply makes use of that information to make the `-W' option more useful. Have I dispelled the "overhead" argument? -mi
