I'm sure I tried it, but still got portsnap:

# poudriere ports -l
PORTSTREE            METHOD     PATH
default              portsnap   /usr/ports
system               -          /usr/ports
sys                  portsnap   /usr/ports
# 

Anyway, I'm trying to delete the poudriere ports tree as

# poudriere ports -d
====>> Deleting portstree "default"

but it sits forever without exiting.

I'm not even sure which directories and/or files
this command is supposed to delete.

This is on ia64 r255488.

# pkg info -xo poud
poudriere-devel-3.0.99.20130906 ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel
#

Thanks
