I put together a PR that modifies a port so that when: make or make install is run, if any of the ports dependencies are out of date they are updated first before installing the port. Another benefit is less drive space is used because after each dependency is built and installed it is cleaned, where as now all dependencies are cleaned in one shot after a port is built. The port comitters do not want to put this into the system or even consider the idea until users have had a chance to test the idea and suggested I post it here. The PR with the patch is here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=91105 Instructions on how to apply it are in the PR but if you need help please send me a note. I am most grateful for anyone willing to take the time to test this out, thanks! -Mike
