It looks like each piece of the port is extracting its own copy of X420src-1.tgz, X420src-2.tgz, or X420src-3.tgz or some combination thereof. I was trying to build it on a system where I had WRKDIRPREFIX pointed to a directory on a filesystem with over 500 MB of scratch space and couldn't do it. Even trying to do it in pieces wasn't working so I moved the WRKDIRPREFIX to a partition with more space. The final scratch space total, $ du -sk $WRKDIRPREFIX 1482579 $WRKDIRPREFIX About 1.41 GB. Whereas, $ du -sk /usr/X11R6 102213 /usr/X11R6 Just under 100 MB. I know X is a resource hog building and runtime, but was this aspect of the new meta-port layout considered before it was committed? Sorry, I can't offer any ideas how to improve on this within a meta-port framework. -- Crist J.
