Thank you Jeremy. 'port echo requested' doesn't return all the ports I've explicitly requested. Notably, postfix is missing. Is there a way to refresh/recreate this requested list?
/opt/local/etc is where I thought port configurations would live but wasn't sure. Do you think it would be best after reformatting and installing 10.8 to install macports, then copy /opt/local/etc from backups, then reinstall the ports? -Terry On Mar 21, 2014, at 1:36 PM, Jeremy Lavergne <jer...@lavergne.gotdns.org> wrote: > I’d expect all configuration to be available in /opt/local/etc/ > > The list of packages is available either with `port echo requested` or `port > echo installed`, depending on your intention of installing just what you > wanted or making sure everything is back. > > The output of those `port echo …` commands can be used to tell macports what > to install: > port install name1 @vers+variant name2 @vers+variant … > > On Mar 21, 2014, at 16:32, Terry Barnum <te...@dop.com> wrote: > >> I've got a MacPro3,1 that after updating from 10.6 to 10.7 has >> intermittently been having its builtin Gb network interface go deaf.
