But not in > individual Makefiles. Yeah, I've commented on this in the past - our clean rule should follow the same dependencies which would have been traversed in building the port. Right now, you can do: make all install && make clean In many ports and wind up with far more bits on your disk than when you started due to depended ports being built but not cleaned again. I'd say it's a "bug" for bsd.port.mk to fix and not something the ports should be doing on their own, definitely. Jordan
