This time, fresh csup and a few ports updated, it wiped out EVERY

or what the frak is going on?
I can't tell you authoritatively, but I would be very surprised if this
problem were not the result of the recent bsd.port.mk changes that
removed MD5 checksums, and renamed the variable that refers to the
distinfo file.
portupgrade was updated today, I imagine to resolve this issue.
Yes, the update $FreeBSD: ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/Makefile,v 1.259

distfiles.
Thank you!
If you've ever had the desire to give portmaster a try, now might be a
good time, since I've updated it to deal with this issue. It has the
--clean-distfiles feature which does what you described -DD does.
I neglected to mention that 'portmaster -t --clean-distfiles-all' will
do what you described -D does.
Once I migrate this 7.3-STABLE to the latest 8.x branch, I'm planning on
using portmaster. I have a bit of a Bad Feeling about making the switch
with 1217 ports installed. I'm just waiting on getting my backup drive
returned to me.
It
doesn't have the -C feature, but IMO you're better off using a custom
WRKDIRPREFIX anyway. :) Alternatively, the following is (arguably) the
most efficient command line to handle that problem:
cd /usr/ports && find . -maxdepth 3 -type d -name work -exec rm -rf {} \;

You've helped a lot Doug, it's really appreciated, cheers!
