In the past, doing a global make clean wouild die, especially on
ports that
were marked broken. I don;'t know if that's been fixed, because
about once a
month, i just do:
find /usr/ports -type d -name work -exec rm -rf {} \;
I've had the -delete fail from time to time, I can't remember the
error, but
doing the rm via the -exec keyword, that's never failed, and
cleaning out the
work directories, that absolutely cleans stuff up quickly.
Not sure how deep the buffers are for wildcard expansion but
apparently deep enough to do the above simpler. I use tcsh, selection
of one's shell has everything to do with wildcard expansion.
# cd /usr/ports
# rm -r */*/work
