I sent my reply to Rainer only.
So hard for me to get use to reply all since this is the only list I'm
on that does this.
Adding a "reply to: macports" would be so nice.

There is:
/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf
where you could put:
+server
and I believe you will get the +server add to all ports that port
builds, no?
Yes, that would select +server automatically if available.
I mentioned recently gentoo's package.mask for masking packages or
packages above a version. Personally I'd like something like that in
ports.
Masking ports is not too useful if you only got one version as opposed
to Gentoo where you can choose the version.
It works well for not upgrading things like gcc but I'm thinking
openssl as well.
I just don't understand how a problem with openssl would be resolved
in such a way that it broke virtually all my services.
Makes me REALLY REALLY want a feature like gentoo's -p (pretend) where
port would just tell me what it would do with the command.
I guess there was talk about a port -y (dry run) command.
port upgrade installed
The following ports would be upgraded:
[email protected] => [email protected]
The following ports would be installed
[email protected]
The following ports woud be uninstalled
[email protected]
I'd feel much better adding a "-vp" to all my install, uninstall,
upgrade, activate and deactivate commands BEFORE actually effecting
the filesystem.
