<p dir="ltr">And trace mode will always hide files installed by the port you're building unless you declare a dependency on it (which you obviously can't).</p>
<p dir="ltr">I was thinking about a new option that would control whether trace mode was enabled on a by port basis:</p>
<p dir="ltr">tracemode (yes|no|auto)</p>
<p dir="ltr">where yes would force trace mode, no would disable it and auto would choose what the user specified on the command line.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course speeding up trace mode with appropriate cache data structures would be desirable before doing that. (If the penalty was only 5% I'd even say we should enable it by default).</p>
