> We can probably do a bit better by looking at the complete dependency graph and removing any ports that have unconditional dependencies on X. For a headless server, there's no reason to build any of the kde-* or gnome-* ports or, indeed, X itself. I suspect that we could easily trim 2/3 of the build time by omitting ports that have a GUI, GUI toolkits, and so on.
May I disagree? The only thing you don't need on an headless server is X itself. I might want to run firefox on that server, the display taken into account in the client machine (e.g. through ssh -X).
Or did I missed something?
