Add it to your cvsup refuse file, or however you get it. The reason the clean target goes through the dependencies is because it was designed to clean out the dependencies recursively. I don't like the current cleaning mechanisms much either, and am working on fixing some of these problems. Jeremy Lea <reg@FreeBSD.org> submitted a bsd.port.mk patch a few months ago that only cleans ports once per `make clean`. The clean-depends patch. That's part 1. There are other problems to fix, and this (perhaps) is one of them. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
