Hi Brad,
While I was writing for restoring of ports, it seems that I need to
include another field 'active' along with ports while taking snapshot.
This might sound obvious now but it wasn't to me before I looked at what
is going on, closely. While there is something like 'active' port but
there's no such state as being 'inactive'.
You want the 'state' property, which is either 'imaged' for installed
but inactive or 'installed' for active.
This led me to a further research and I came across this in the
migration guide:
"Though it is now quite well-tested, the restore_ports script may fail
in some cases. One known issue is that the script will fail if there are
conflicting ports in the list. It's possible to have conflicting ports
installed provided at most one of the conflicting set is active. If the
script fails for this reason, you can delete one of the conflicting
ports..."
Do you think it can be solved by merely adding active field? What
possible conflicts is it talking about?
This is referring to a case such as having jpeg installed and inactive
and mozjpeg installed and active. The ports themselves conflict.
