Thanks.

Until this is being changed, should I make a "make clean" or "make
clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES" (?) after a package is installed with "make
install"?

Is "make clean" or "make clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES" preferential?

The Packages.txt says something about the target "clean-update". This
should only be used before the first time a "make update" is done.
What's that now about .... ?!?!

Let's take the example of my initial Eterm 0.8.9 installation (see
initial postings). I would like to update it. I initially installed it
with:

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/eterm
# make fetch-list | sh
# make install

After all I read so far in this thread, can you confirm that I should
now say ....

# make clean (CLEANDEPENDS=YES ?)
# make fetch-list | sh
# make install

Is that the right way?

TIA
