In the same vein, why suggest -f ? Looking at the man page, it seems multiple packages can be listed (ie pkg_delete -f portmaster \*) so if someone mistypes, it greatly increases the damage. I don't think anything depends on portmaster so its not really necessary. -- Rob Farmer _______________________________________________ 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"
