I should have added in my previous reply that your statement above is not
accurate. If the install fails, that invocation of portmaster will fail,
which will cause all/any parent portmaster processes above it to fail as
well. Thus, in the event that a port fails to install, the user will be
notified of it immediately, and no further actions will be taken.

Thanks for the correction.
I might note that average Joe won't know what to do with that
notification, and even if a backup was specified, might not know what to
do with the backup.
I'm willing to attempt a patch for this, but if I have any questions
about 'best practices', can I contact you?
For instance, where is the best place to put a temporary backup package?
/var/tmp, /tmp, /usr/ports/packages/All?
IMHO, this should be configurable. Just my $0.02
