Hi All,
I have noticed that port goes through the dependency list sequentially,
and build accordingly. This is actually O.K., but it would be nice I
the ports
with the most "dependants" first. This way if any thing happens
before the build
is complete I can build others. It should not be to complicated to
implement.
The reason for suggusting this is that I have been trying to install
gnome and
came across a few problems. I wanted to get as much installed as I
can. So I would start
one install and another parralel to that !! But, I had to be
carefull which port I was installing
sothat they would not block each other. If the ports whith the most
depends where build
first I could install more efficiently as the check is quicker
esspecially with a package like
gnome.
regards
Keith
