>Description:
When attempting to install a port which fails due to being
marked BROKEN, the make exits with a success status, meaning
that any scripts that make a port and then delete the previous
port on successful compile end up deleting the only installed
working version.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg (for example)
make clean; make && make deinstall
Although this port is currently marked broken, and won't compile, the
installed port is deleted as the make exitted with "success" status.
>Fix:
Make ignored/broken ports exit "1" from the make
