make checksum, yes.
Further, how can portmaster be tuned to automatically ignore ports which
are actually marked as IGNORE in the port directory ? This is not
covered in the manpage.
It respects IGNORE (it checks for it in the port Makefile, and also
hands off to bsd.port.mk, which respects it). If you mean +IGNOREME,
the others have answered your question.
While doing portmaster -a, I have only managed to stop portmaster from
building exactly one port specified with the -x option. Can I get to
stop multiple ports from being built ? Is there regular expression
support for the -x option ?
Not in the sense that you mean, at least that I'm aware of. This one
of the things that needs improvement. It is a bit awkward, because it
uses the shell's built-in POSIX getopts to parse options, and then
calls itself recursively. One way you could fix it would be to apply
a patch like:

(Mind the whitespace because of my MUA.) Then you could just use
repeated -x flags, each with one and only one package glob that you
wanted to exclude. I changed the definition of UPGRADE_TOOL so that
you could put this script in your path under another name, say
"jainpmaster", and then call it independently of the original
portmaster. As usual, I make no claim that this is the best, only, or
most elegant way to do this.

Hello BF/Roland,
Thanks for the clarifications.
Regarding the download speeds I was getting with portmaster fetches (0.7
kBps to 4.0 kBps), I immediately booted into Windows/Cygwin and did a
wget from the same site portmaster was using. The speed I got from wget
was ~ 35 kBps. This happened not just once but multiple times. Each time
I did this, I had to interrupt portmaster. Finally I managed to get to
install the wget port on FreeBSD itself. When I ran wget from FreeBSD,
it reported comparable transfer rates (~ 35 kBps) from the same sites as
portmaster was using.
It respects IGNORE (it checks for it in the port Makefile, and also
hands off to bsd.port.mk, which respects it).
I got a curl port from portsnap marked IGNORE. portmaster did not ignore
it anywhere near gracefully enough and finally killed off all child
processes and itself.
The IGNOREME way is fine for me for avoiding multiple ports I know
beforehand I do not want to build. But if a portsnap update creates an
IGNORE port, portmaster should be skipping it entirely rather than
having to kill all child processes and itself. In my experience, this
did not happen. Or maybe my system was badly broken already by that time.
Anyway, my system became so unpredictable that I had to reinstall
FreeBSD. For the moment, I am avoiding portmaster till I can try it out
on a dummy PC first.
BTW, I also tried portmanager and it segfaulted at the stage of
generating a report.
Thanks for all the help.
