Is there any way to install a port and tell it NOT to install one or more of it's required ports? For example: I installed the mysqlcc port, and it wanted to install mysql-client. I already have mysql-client installed, but I did not do it from the ports tree. Another port wanted to install Apache as a requirement. I already have Apache installed, but I did so from source. Is there some command line option to tell the system not to install certain ports? Or better yet, a config file I where can list ports not to install. Is there also a way to tell portupgrade to skip certain ports? Next time I do a portupgrade -aRr i do not want it to install mysql-client or Apache. Thanks. Brent.
