What you could do with portmaster is to pick a high level leaf
port with a lot of dependencies (something like firefox) and do
'portmaster -aft /usr/ports/www/firefox' (make sure you specify
the directory in /usr/ports, not the pkg directory).
How does that work?
portmaster doesn't rely on the dependency tracking in the port's
Makefile, it recurses the list itself. Since the the *-depends-lists
output directories in /usr/ports, and the -f switch to portmaster
means "[re]build it no matter what," portmaster will recurse all the
way down to the lowest level dependency/ies, and rebuild everything on
the way up.
On the other hand, building everything in the all-depends-list may
be wrong in other, more common, circumstances.
That's what the -t switch is for. It usually uses
build/run-depends-lists instead.
