Yes.
Although as others pointed out it depend quite what you mean by that :-)
Example
setenv DUDS SomeEndPortToSkip_eg_ghostview
One could also do
setenv DUDS "`printenv DUDS` vietnamese chinese" ; make fetch
if for instance you wanted to fetch most but not all distiles
It prevents a recusion into SUBDIR (either into the 30 main ports/ dirs,
or the 20,000+ 2nd level dirs.
How I find DUDS useful:
When I do an upgrade, I copy
(using my shell
http://berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/customise
)
about 30 Makefile.local from my personal preference directory
http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/jhs/
into
/usr/ports/*/Makefile.local
Then I let loose a monstrous make with something like
cd /usr/ports ;\
nice make BERKLIX_CLIENT=YES \
all install package package-recursive ; bell
that takes days & always breaks a few times on route,
(& using make -k or make -i is a bad idea, as it messes upports that
other ports then think are built, but are not - so I avoid -i & -k )
Sometimes I dont have time to immediately analyse each breakage,
& just want topush the compiles on, & come back later to debug
broken faults, so I then use (with csh
setenv DUDS "whatever_port_just_broke `printenv DUDS`"
& start the make again.
(PS & later after most stuff is build I start the truly monster builds
eg openoffice etc with eg
nice make BERKLIX_AMBITIOUS=YES \
all install package package-recursive ; bell
# http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.sh/bell
)
For DUDS & other ideas See:
vi -c/DUDS /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk
Cheers,
Julian
