I should have added in my previous reply that your statement above is not
accurate. If the install fails, that invocation of portmaster will fail,
which will cause all/any parent portmaster processes above it to fail as
well. Thus, in the event that a port fails to install, the user will be
notified of it immediately, and no further actions will be taken.

Doug
