Simple Example: Port A depends upon B Port B depends upon C Without the feature: Port A registers dependencies to ports B and C With the feature: Port A registers dependendcy to ports B Now think about GNOME/KDE/... and X11: a lot of GNOME/... programs =20 don't link directly to the X11 libs. So if you want to recompile all =20 programs which depend upon a specific X11 lib after an API change, you =20 can not find all programs by grepping around in the dependency list. =20 With the above feature you can do that (modulo bugs in the dependency =20 list), without it you recompile a lot more ports than necessary. We've =20 seen this happen several times in the past. Bye, Alexander. --=20 "Microwave oven? Whaddya mean, it's a microwave oven?
