The purpose of 'port info' is to display metadata, and the pieces of metadata it has access to are those exported in the PortInfo array. Querying the values of arbitrary variables in the portfile is a very different bit of functionality (a developer tool, not for normal users). The recent addition of a --patchfiles option was borderline IMO. We have a separate action to display distfiles. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
