In the absence of this notification, under normal circumstances the only user interaction required after the port starts building is to answer questions about the deletion of stale dist- files. This can be eliminated with the -d or -D options. use -d to auto-delete, or -D for keeping the distfiles. Zlo -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've taken a lot of time to try and explain how it works in the man page, and what your options are. In particular, you probably do not really want to use the -f option on a regular basis since that does not do what it does in portupgrade. In portmaster using '-af' would rebuild all of your ports, not just the ones that need upgrading. It sounds to me like what you're seeing is portmaster asking whether or not you want to delete the distfiles after an upgrade. The easiest way to deal with that is to use '-aD' and then when it's done use either --clean-distfiles or --clean-distfiles-all. Once again, see the man page for more information on those options. hope this helps, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
