>Description:
ports make -i doesn't act "correctly" upon failure to fetch
>How-To-Repeat:
This'll vary, but for me, I can't fetch the current balsa distfile. If you already have it, rename it away.
su
cd /usr/ports/distfiles
mkdir backup-balsa
mv balsa* backup-balsa
cd /usr/ports/mail/balsa
make clean
make -i
======================
= The output follows =
======================
>Fix:
Ultimately probably rewrite the ports system in a better language like C++, Python, or Perl. I'm very skeptical of make, though that's based on experience with less powerful makes (Microsoft nmake).
