this was the main reason for asking. If all would do it, CVSup would be
of no help at all.
1) Delete "work" directories after building ports. If you use the "clean"
make target it will do this automatically. I typically do "make install
This is what I always did but it is also time consuming on slower machines.
2) Use WRKDIRPREFIX. I set this in my .cshrc, but you can set it manually or
I have not noticed this before. This sounds to be the best option. It
will result it what I want and still will not put any load on any
machine except of mine if I have to rebuild.
See "man ports" for more information on the port build infrastructure and
associated make targets and environment variables.
I do this ones in a while but never noticed or did not understand the
use of WRKDIRPREFIX.
The other thing in the ports collection that tends to take up space is the
distfiles directory. If you want to delete it wholesale then go ahead
I do the cleaning work manually there. I delete only double entries to
avoid additional downloading.
