My logic was wrong, and wrong premise[1] because I was stuck on thinking a bulk -a build. But I found how to do it (to remove categories) in case anyone is interested. The key is in the method used to update the tree, which is svn+https. so, from the top of the ports tree, svn update --set-depth=exclude biology would exclude the biology category permanently. svn update --set-depth=infinity biology would re-add it. svn update --set-depth=infinity would make it be like nothing was excluded in the first place. but on reflection, it breaks a little of the ports infrastructure and I don't want to do that. [1] used to use portupgrade -a but poudriere bulk -a is not equivalent!!! am just getting to grips with poudriere lol -- J.
