Greetings,

A couple of weeks ago there was a small thread here regarding the
fact that "make clean" in /usr/ports caused a lot of (unnecessary)
extra calls to "make clean" for dependencies. The solution for this
is to add NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes to /etc/make.conf.

Only then, if you build a fresh port with dependencies, "make clean"
in that directory will only clean the ports-dir, not the dependencies.

The expected behaviour would be that the NOCLEANDEPENDS variable
would only be used in the ports-makefiles, and automaticly set to
"yes" in the ports-directories-makefiles.

I've submitted a patch (ports/31113) to create this behaviour.
Please comment on this.

Edwin
