Hello,
We all know it is possible to build different ports at the same time, but there is one problem.
For example, when building databases/mysql55-server and databases/phpmyadmin, we have theses dependencies (just those interesting for the example):
databases/mysql55-server -> devel/cmake
databases/phpmyadmin -> databases/mysql55-client -> devel/cmake
Then, cmake will be building when mysql55-server started to do this!
I don't know if there is something to handle this problem or if it is something on study for FreeBSD 9, but what about the idea of creating a file named, for example, <portname>/__building__, and check existence of this file before make dependency ?
I would like to develop this, but no time for the moment. (And I also don't know how works ports!)
