Howdy, First off, I would like to say that the build mechanism for the ports is VERY impressive! I have been studying them for the past couple of days now and I hope I will be able to understand the entire process some day. Now for my question. I have been playing around with KDE2 from the STABLE cvsup tree. When I build a port I issue the command `# make package`. The port is downloaded, compiled, installed, and made into a package. The problem is that the ports that were installed as dependecies are not made into packages, they are just installed. If I then do a `# make package`, make complains loadly that the port is already installed and quits with an `Error 1`. I know it is already installed, I just want to package it up. Is there an enviromental variable that I can set to make the build process do a `# make package` instead of a `# make install`? Is there a clean way of building packages out of the ports that have already installed themselfs?
