I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, I got a lot of approval for the idea, but I don't have the time and familiarity with the ports mk files to do what I propose. Usually when doing an install I'll start building several ports in at the same time The problem is that frequently the ports will recurse into the same dependancy, and the two builds will clobber each other. I tried to figure out some way for the ports to use the 'lockf' utility on the port makefile in order to protect it, but I can't seem to figure out how and where to use lockf. We'd need some pre-pre-pre make step to do this I imagine, anyone want to try to do this? Is it a good idea? -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
