This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigFFBC8366DD0734916693E9B4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The first time I ran 'portsclean -D' after upgrading to portupgrade 2.1.4_2,1, it deleted all distfiles for ports that were not installed on that machine. However, I have /usr/ports/distfiles shared via NFS to my cluster, so now all the distfiles for ports installed on other machines are gone. The machine I ran portsclean on was headless, so I lost EVERY X-related distfile. This is especially painful as these tend to be the biggest (e.g. OpenOffice is over 200MB). =46rom the portsclean man page on the -D/--distclean option: "Clean out all the distfiles that are not referenced by any port in the ports tree. Specified twice (i.e. -DD), clean out all the distfiles that are not referenced by any port that is currently installed. (cf. DISTDIR)" I did not specify it twice (because I have 'portsclean -D' aliased to 'pc') so I guess there is a regression in portupgrade 2.1.4. -Jonathan --=20 Jonathan Noack | noackjr@alumni.rice.edu | OpenPGP: 0x991D8195 --------------enigFFBC8366DD0734916693E9B4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEli/zUFz01pkdgZURAlkqAJ9Z9+yY5LyYZ7wI2CX2p5z/INED8ACfZUkb stFFIaMmArKsuXM/MWLxhn0= =55+n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigFFBC8366DD0734916693E9B4--
