Hi, You can remove categories by using the REFUSE argument in /etc/portsnap.co= nf . See the manpage for portsnap.conf. Then obviously, run portsnap. For other ports or package management tools, I don't remember clearly if o= r how you can do this. Something like: REFUSE x11 irc games cad finance You can extract a fresh ports tree, but it's not required. Also consider, = that some ports may be missing to build ports you've set, but that's likel= y to be a rare or an insignificant problem. > Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 3:49 PM > From: "@lbutlr" <kremels@kreme.com> > To: FreeBSD <freebsd-ports@freebsd.org> > Subject: Re: Suggestion to split games category into games-console, game= s-engine and games > > /usr/ports/games is already very large. > > What about splitting up games in the ports tree into games, games-cons= ole and games-engine? > > What about a configure file or option to exclude certain branches of the= ports tree os I don't have to keep downloading updates to packages I will= never run? > > For example, I have no need of any of the languages, X11-*, irc, games, = cad, or finance on my mail server.
