But restarting with
# portmaster emulators/virtualbox-ose
starts by cleaning for virtualbox then starts again. Have I
misunderstood something? I checked the work directory before and after
the cleaning step and nearly everything was deleted.
It's building now and I think it has time to finish so there isn't an
immediate problem but I would like to find answers to the above.
Portmaster cleans a port before starting to build. That's the safe
thing to do, there is no good way to know why a work directory is still
there, and options may have changed.
-C can be used to prevent portmaster from cleaning first.
Thank you.
Apologies for not reading the portmaster man page first, I used
portmaster for the first time last night and have a hard deadline of
tomorrow to finish the laptop so in a bit of a panic. I'll have a proper
read asap.
Chris
