Hi Pav, I'm not the one who posted the original message to the list, but I'm participating in the conversation with some of the folks who expressed a preference for checking conflicts later in the build process. Here is the original post: http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg227363.html I thought portmgr might have some insight into additional reasons for making the change, such as fixing a problem with pointyhat builds, etc. At the moment, I'm neutral on the change, since it hasn't caused me any grief, but I did some research for the folks who posted the original questions. What do you think of adding an entry to UPDATING to note a change like this in the build process? For instance, I wasn't aware of the LOCALBASE=/nonexistent idea that you mentioned, so the entry could include that and some other tips.
