That's excellent news! Now I can use -D during upgrades to avoid pausing between port builds, and run this later to manually clean up the distfiles. I'm a bit paranoid about automatically deleting them -- had one too many times when port[master|upgrade|foo] got confused by slave ports or weird file names and deleted hard to replace* distfiles. (* Stuff like the openoffice source that is huge, or java source that you have to fetch manually) Thanks again for your work on portmaster! Craig
