Is there a way, using portmaster, to force the rebuild of all ports without rebuilding the same ports over and over and over again? I've noticed that using portmaster -f forces the rebuild of every dependency. I think I've now rebuild perl and python at least 20 or 30 times. Once should be enough. I guess if you're going to rebuild everything, it would be ok to ignore dependencies for ports, since they're all going to be rebuilt anyway. What's the magic potion for that?
