	The problem is that because I upgraded <code>devel/gettext</code> without reading <code>/usr/ports/UPDATING</code> I didn't rebuild <code>shells/bash</code>, so it still depended on the old library <code>/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8</code> which was deleted when I updated <code>devel/gettext</code>. This meant that bash stopped working and I could no longer log onto the server. What I should have done is run <code>portmaster -r devel/gettext</code> which would have upgraded <code>devel/gettext</code> and then every port that depends on it. ~~But~~ I could forget again, so I add the following option to portmasters config, which makes it save old libraries when upgrading:		The problem is that because I upgraded <code>devel/gettext</code> without reading <code>/usr/ports/UPDATING</code> I didn't rebuild <code>shells/bash</code>, so it still depended on the old library <code>/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8</code> which was deleted when I updated <code>devel/gettext</code>.

			== Automatically delete build depencencies after install ==
			When installing stuff I often end up with a bunch of build dependencies that I don't need after the port has been built. Portmaster can remove these automatically, and will do so if given the command line option <code>--delete-build-only</code> or if the following line is present in <code>/usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc</code>:
			<pre>
			PM_DEL_BUILD_ONLY=pm_dbo
			</pre>

			This makes Portmaster clean up the build dependencies automatically.

== Automatically delete old distfiles ==
Portmaster works like a charm with the default configuration. Only thing that annoyed me after a while is the fact that Portmaster doesn't delete old distfiles without asking first - so I would start a large upgrade, answer all the make config screens that Portmaster is clever enough to show me all at once, and then go do something else. Only to come back and see Portmaster waiting for my OK to delete libsomething-1.2.3.tar.bz2 (which has already been replaced by a new installed version). I can see why this may be nice for some people, but I want it to delete old distfiles without asking me:

'''/usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc''':
<pre>
ALWAYS_SCRUB_DISTFILES=dopt

That's it. There is a lot of [[http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portmaster&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE+and+Ports other options]] of course, but like I said, the defaults are fine for me. Eventually I will update this page with more Portmaster commands.
