Why does poudriere insist on rebuilding the same packages over and over

[Gerard E. Seibert]

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. Why does
'poudriere' insist on rebuild the same package, over and over, when
there has been no change.

EXAMPLE:

This morning I decided to install /usr/ports/x11/xscreensaver.
Poudriere insisted on rebuilding hundreds of ports,
including "ports-mgmt/pkg", even though they had not changed. I had
just updated the ports tree with poudriere and updated all of the files
on my system. There was no reason to rebuild all of the existing files.
It seems that the "ports-mgmt/pkg" file is rebuild every time poudriere
runs.

Is there a configuration setting to stop? It wastes a lot of time and
resources to continually rebuild everything.

NOTE:

I made on change on an installed port the other day, and poudriere
insisted on rebuild 1039 ports. That is just crazy.
