Nice to be able to plug something other then petitecloud as a possible solution to this... namely as far I can tell from previous discussions and such that the port system is nothing more then a very large DAG (directed acyc. graph) the author of devel/cook (and devel/aegis) wrote an incredible paper showing why Make (in any form) will never be upto the task ( http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf )... there are several solutions that use this paper as their foundation in the ports system (devel/cook, devel/cons, devel/scons)... don't get me wrong the actual building of each port should be delegated to whatever build scripts it uses the idea is only that the entire port system be considered as a single graph... side note we use devel/cook and devel/aegis to maintain and build petitecloud on. -- Aryeh M.
