#23092: InsightToolKit should not clean on each build

Port: InsightToolKit |

Comment(by dweber@…):
Given that port command, I can only assume it rebuilds everything when
there are changes to the Portfile or changes to the variants used for the
build. One way to avoid that, is to use the -o flag, as in:
{{{
$ sudo port -d build -o InsightToolkit
}}}
That should keep the "old" state files (in the work path), even when the
Portfile is modified. During debug runs, I sometimes manually delete
state files while using the -o flag.
Also, if you want to continue working on the port after a successful
install, use the -k flag to keep all the valuable build files in the work
path.
When I started work on this port, it was a huge hassle to rebuild all the
time. The -o and -k flags were my saviour.
