I still think that this feature is implemented incorrectly. First, it's silent - it's not documented or advertised in run-time (e.g. "now cleaning..."). Second, there is no way to turn it off. Third, I think it's kind of useless as is, because a person intelligent enough to use portmaster should also know how to clean his/her WRKDIRPREFIX should it somehow grow. Perhaps you have added this feature for your own benefit, but the way you did that you tried to force your habits on other people, IMO. Well, I know how to alter my local copy of portmaster and you are its author and maintainer, so I have nothing else to add :) -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
