Re: What is MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE?
In most cases MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes will not help. The message is an artifact from when the defaults were reversed and a precaution for the days after it was changed. IMHO it should be removed now. Eitan Adler I'm inclined to agree with you. I guess my best choice on what to do about gio-fam-backend and multimedia/vlc is pkg delete vlc pkg delete gio-fam-backend or pkg delete -f gio-fam-backend and let multimedia/vlc sink or swim for the time being, so I can go to the next step portmaster -a -x multimedia/vlc and then do multimedia/vlc later. I think multimedia/vlc gets fairly frequent updates, so I won't have to wait too long. It is possible that vlc functionality won't be impaired by having gio-fam-backend taken out from under. I have to remember FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE may be in the very near future.

I had three that failed, and MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes apparently had no effect: multimedia/mplayer, graphics/gstreamer-plugins-gl, multimedia/vlc I successfully upgraded mplayer to mplayer2. I tried make deinstall install on graphics/gstreamer-plugins-gl: deinstalled but was unable to rebuild and reinstall. multimedia/vlc failed even with MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes. My guess is that pkg delete -f gio-fam-backend would not adversely affect vlc 2.0.6_3,3 because glib 2.36 might serve the function of gio-fam-backend. Anyway, I don't want to let this stop me from the last step (portmaster -a). I will want to source-upgrade to the upcoming FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE, and build sysutils/grub2, see if I can create my own Super Grub2 Disk. Even if vlc is messed up, I can hope to rebuild in the near future.

You need to properly mark quoted material (indentation, attribution line, and similar). You did not consistently quote my material, which was the Yes, providing that... paragraph above. It lacks a level of indentation, and I do not tolerate misappropriation of my material however short it is. (Which is why this reply is public.) 2. Please use a mailer that keeps threads intact (In-Reply-To: header required). Since your replies did not thread this discussion properly, can I ask you to use a different mailer so that your replies appear in line? Thank you.

What is MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE?
In some ports that failto build/upgrade, with portmaster in this case, I get a message like gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/BETA1/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/work9amd64/vlc-2.0.7' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 === Compilation failed unexpectedly. Try to set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and rebuild before reporting the failure to the maintainer. *** [do-build] Error code 1 I also got this with mplayer and graphics/gstreamer-plugins-gl, resulting from the instructions in UPDATING 20130731. I looked in man pages (portmaster, ports, make.conf, make) and online Porters' Handbook without finding anything. So I want to know what MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes is supposed to do, and do I set it by env MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes portmaster multimedia/vlc (or whatever other port it applies to)?
