My mistake. I'd always assumed that in  "-t --clean-distfiles" the
"-t" had its usual meaning of recurse through port dependencies. What
makes that particularly confusing is that recursing to handle missing
dependencies would be a useful option.


I'd still recommend distviper over portmaster because it's faster.
