Hi there,
I'm new to FreeBSD, and generaly speaking, I really like it
so far. However, a few minutes after a fresh install I found
a quirk in the ports framework. Since it's so well visible I'm
guessing it's by design, and would like to know what's behing
that... Or maybe it's really a bug, dunno.
The problem is simple: if an error occurrs during the install
of a port, the files that have been istalled so far are nor
deleted. And, because the install didn't finish, you can't
# make deinstall either. This is not so bad with small pieces
of software, but is a real PITA when you install something
large.
So my question is: is this on purpose, or is it a defficiency
in the framework? If it's by design, what is the reason?
TIA for any answers
