Hello, I=E2=80=99m working on building my very first port (for the server = component from https://www.urbackup.org/ <https://www.urbackup.org/>). = Since this my first attempt at porting, I have ended up iterating a lot = on the pkg-plist, new files in the =E2=80=98files=E2=80=99 directory, = etc. as I try new things and explore the options in the Porter=E2=80=99s = Handbook. To test any of these changes, I find that I need to do a = =E2=80=98make clean=E2=80=99 from the port's directory in order for them = to be used on the next =E2=80=98make build=E2=80=99--which obviously = deletes any compiling work that had been done previously. Since this = application takes a few minutes to compile, that can be a bit annoying = and slow down the iterative debugging and learning process. Is there an easy way to avoid having to do a full =E2=80=98make clean=E2=80= =99 when you change pkg-plist, etc.? Nothing is jumping out at me in the = Porter=E2=80=99s Handbook, 'man port', or my web searches. Thanks! Kirk=
