* From: Chuck Robey <chuckr@mat.net> * I saw your earlier commit on that idea, removing the relative references * to parts of ports. I was trying to figure out why ... is this a * stylistic thing, or is there another reason? I'm not complaining at * all, just trying to understand why. This is to facilitate building with a read-only ports tree. In particular, relative paths will break WRKDIRPREFIX support. And the read-only ports tree is necessary for the parallel build system that I'm putting together to automate package building.
