Subject:   make package not inherited to dependent packages.

I have a couple of boxes which share /usr/packages over nfs.

So I like to do "make package" so the package is available to the other boxes.

However, when a port has dependencies which causes another port to be built, that other port is only made by "make", not "make package"

So when I want to install the package on another box, the dependent package is not available.
I have to go back to the first machine and do the "make package" in the dependent ports manually.

Either the make package should be inherited to dependent ports, or a flag should be in /etc/make.conf, causing make package to be the default option for make install.

BTW, is it possible to have a prefix like /tmp when making packages, so a package could be built on a machine without having to install it first?

Leif
