This has been discussed at great length on various lists. The two answers to your question are, A) You can already do what you want to do, with an option that allows you NOT to do it if for some reason you actually WANT to repetitively clean dependencies, and B) The fastest way to clean up your ports tree is not to use make at all, it's: find /usr/ports -type d -name work -exec rm -r {} \; Therefore, with all due respect, I think this patch is a step in the wrong direction. -- "We have known freedom's price.
