During "computing dependencies", no http requests would be made by MacPorts, as far as I know. Port information for all ports is already on your computer; that's what you're updating every time you run "sudo port sync" or "sudo port selfupdate". Computing dependencies would however involve opening the portfile and portgroup files for each port that is a dependency of the port you're installing that's not already installed. If you have not yet installed (m)any ports, and the port you've requested has a lot of dependencies, this could be a lot of files and take some minutes. According to "port rdeps auto-multiple-choice", there are 300 ports to be considered. So you could possibly improve the situation by installing some of the dependencies individually first. Look at the output of "port deps auto-multiple-choice" and "sudo port install" some of those ports by themselves. Then later, return to trying to install auto-multiple-choice itself. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
