	4.8-RELEASE
	XFree86-4 4.3.0,1

>Description:
	Installing the meta-port XFree86-4 leads to untarring
	the huge XFree86 distribution multiple times, one per
	each XFree86-foo sub-port.  This takes unexpectedly
	enormous disk space.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Do a "make install" for this port on a disk with as little
	free space as 2Gb.

>Fix:
	While there doesn't seem to be an easy way to overcome this
	problem in the existing ports framework, it would be better
	if a user were warned, e.g., by a heading message.  The
	user may be as well advised to install all the dependencies
	incrementally if he/she doesn't have enough free disk space.
