I sometimes have to rebuild the PortIndex locally for testing, and since it takes minutes to do that, I might want to install some port while portindex is running. But this usually doesn't work because the port I want to install usually has dependencies, and the portindex script might not yet have gotten around to adding that port to the new PortIndex.
I think it would be nice for the portindex script to use a temporary file for the new index, and only move it over the existing PortIndex file when it's all through. Can anyone think of a reason why that wouldn't work or wouldn't be desirable? _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
