Hi Doug,

        Just thought I would write you about an unexpected output from
portmaster to get your opinion. I just ran 'portmaster' alone without
any arguments to get the list of "--help". Surprising enough to me it
searched for a null port and output the following.

===>>>  No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>>  Try portmaster --help

Would it be wise if portmaster was run with no arguments that it just
output the '--help' by default ?.

That's what it used to do, but the list is way too long now to be meaningful. The current output tells the user why it errored out, and gives the recommendation on where to look for more information, which I think is quite reasonable.


Thanks for your interest,

Doug
