I'm extremely reluctant to start trying to think for the user. Down that path lies madness. It's easy enough to 'echo BACKUP=yes >> ~/.portmasterrc' (or /etc/portmaster.rc) and then do the restore yourself if it's a port that you consider mission critical. If you're going to add that to the rc file, I suggest you also do 'mkdir -p /usr/ports/packages/All' and that way you'll always know where your backups are. 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 "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
