There are other ports with shared UNIQUENAME, so I consider it best moving "distfiles" to /var/db/pkg. Then there would be no more messages like "directory not empty" while executing "make rmconfig" in a port directory and perhaps portmaster would no longer remove stale distfiles which aren't really stale but from different installed program versions with similar names. - -- Regards Alfred Bartsch Data-Service GmbH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/z874ACgkQ5QGe2JdVf3g4JACgrTs8MpTMHHrTMLebENeMueJN Rj8Anj8K+vuwfl+l/xG8wWW8qyJcbmca =T68A -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
