I'm sincerely sorry that you've had this problem. I think Scot is right in
that the code for --clean-distfiles* is pretty simple, and relies totally
on a proper definition of DISTDIR.
Perhaps at the time it was empty, but it isn't now. I tried what Scot
said and it gave me "/usr/ports/distfiles". I also ran "portmaster
--clean-distfiles-all" again and it completed as expected, deleting a
few disftiles, but nothing else.
Hrrrm, that's very odd.
Also, I'm not completely sure, but it seems like it has only deleted
stuff in my ~, that is nothing outside of ~lars. It has probably got
something to do with the fact that I su'd from lars to root, likely
without cd'ing to somewhere else, when I ran clean-distfiles-all the
other day.
It shouldn't, that's one of the reasons that it derives the value of
DISTDIR the way it does.
By the way, I had backup of everything, so nothing is lost. :)
Well THAT is good news. :) Thanks for the details on the other stuff. I'm
almost done regression testing the new patch with safety belts for this
issue, it should be out soon.
Doug
