It saves cvs churn in any case. Come on, it was 2004, not 1994. Disks were already large and cheap. This only adds complexity which in the end adds more code to bsd.port.mk (which could already do with a good diet) and slows things down (which of course is less and less of an issue, but still worth mentioning). -- Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer
