The annoying png update has meant I have had to upgrade dozens of ports in the past few days. In the course of this I am starting to see a disturbing pattern. Whenever there is a build failure, I end up with the old software missing. Why is portupgrade deinstalling my software on a build error?
I just spent two hours building openoffice.org, and got a build error. The message says "Stop in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3". And lo! I have no openoffice anymore! I've had this happen with several KDE modules as well as teTeX. Is this new undocumented portupgrade behavior?
Someone please tell me how to turn off this behavior. Thank you.
Update: This is still happening. Tried up update vlc, got a compile error, and immediately after the build stop portupgrade said it was removing to the old port. Now I have no vlc, and portdowngrade won't downgrade to the working version because there is no port to downgrade from. Must manually patch download old makefile.
