Thanks for the new code! Package updates for perl work fine here, and no regressions found. With respect to the --clean-* options, my earlier (a long time ago) test with --clean-distfiles showed that valid distfiles would be deleted if the corresponding port was not installed. I'd like to only delete them if they are no longer valid (similar to portsclean -D). I commonly rsync /usr/ports/distfiles to different build hosts, thus saving multiple downloads from the 'net. I can't test the validity of this at the moment, is it still the case? Would the --clean-packages feature behave the same way? cheers, doug
