I'm researching for PR docs/29517 and my poor Makefile-reading ability tells me (from "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk") that "clean" and "clean-depends" are the same thing (despite what their decriptions imply), unless you set the undocumented NOCLEANDEPENDS envar. Could this be true? The handbook recommends "make clean" in /usr/ports which is deadly slow. I'm proposing to add the very-much faster way of deleting the "work" dirs with find find /usr/ports -depth -name work -exec rm -rf {} \; but if someone knows a make target that does the same thing, I'd like to know about it. (Recommending use of an undocumented, hard-to- remember envar, is a poor choice, IMO. A good target might be OK.)
