OK ... Seems my registry db got corrupt ... probably not due to anything Macports did, rather than just a fluke of nature, considering everything froze and force me to hard power my Macbook. I wasn't worried to much since I have been employing the port archive feature to ensure that I have tarred up backups for my successfully built ports.
I thought this feature was going to save me from having to rebuild everything from scratch...but it seems that despite everything I have read, MP is just not re-installing from archived ports as I would expect. Nothing has changed in my configuration, arch, platform, or chosen Variants. So why isn't MacPorts just extracting archived ports from my packages folder? Am I mis-understanding the port archive feature or am I missing some command-line switch to force MP to install from archived port packages instead of re-compiling from scratch? -- Jeff _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
