Solved portmaster keeps prompting to delete packages

[eydaimon]

how can I get portmaster to stop prompting for deleting a package after every install? It makes portmaster -a take forever because I have to sit nearby and click yes. I've tried all the options in the manpage and none seems to work. Ideas ?

It's -B (don't create backup packages) or -b (always create backup packages), specifying one of these should get rid of the prompt.

Also have a look at /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.sample. Copy it to portmaster.rc and then you can set up some options as default so that you don't have to use parameters all the time:

# Always save the backup packages of the old port (-b)
BACKUP=bopt
#
# Make and save a package of the new port (-g)
MAKE_PACKAGE=gopt
#
# Always delete stale distfiles without prompting (-d)
ALWAYS_SCRUB_DISTFILES=dopt

That's better than the aliases I made ☺
