You also want to handle build dependencies which are not required once the port has been installed. >At the first place, I think such a situation occurs extremly rare. For an opposing PoV: I often see ports that looks interesting or look like a possible solution to a problem and will install the port to have a play. If it turns out that it's not suitable, I would like to be able to easily unistall the port and any dependencies it pulled in that I didn't already have. Currently, this is a fairly delicate operation and I usually base it on timestamps within /var/db/pkg. -- Peter Jeremy
