That's not strictly accurate. During a given run portmaster keeps an internal list of what ports are up to date in a variable. The files you mentioned are generated during the use of the -r or the -f options so that if you have to interrupt that process you can go back with the -R option and avoid redoing work you've already done. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
