After you wait for hours and hours for your "port build qt5-something" to finish (or rather break with some compile error), you figure out that you need to go home. You switch off the computer and when you turn it on again back at home, you realize that your build directory is gone. Or it might be gone "just because". For no good reason. Maybe a clean up script deleted the contents because you were running short on disk space.
