I thought this was the case, but when I actually tried it, everything I wrote here was a lie :) -f behaves differently enough to tell you not to use it :) This -f also propagates to all *_DEPENDS ports and attempts to rebuild them. Therefore, it should not be used in perl updates. The only way to use -R to restart from a failure in the middle of the process seems to be to use -r. Otherwise, reassign and run what was written out to portmasterfail.txt However, the only way to force a rebuild for -a is to use -f. The fact that the target is -a hides this inconvenient behavior. Regards.
