I wasn't privvy to the development of it, so please, devs, step in if I get this wrong... but apparently, each time you say "port install FOO", that port is marked "requested" automatically. The "leaves" pseudo-target shows all ports that are not either requested or dependencies of requested ports. Since this is new to 1.9, you have to teach it what you've requested in the past. Say "port list unrequested", and from that list, mark your ports of interest with "sudo port setrequested port1 port2 port3...". Once you've done that, you can say "port list leaves", and either mark some of them requested, or "sudo port uninstall leaves". Repeat until there are no more leaves. Basically, it's like the old "port_cutleaves" port, but built in. Thanks! -- Randal L.

(If you don't have tsocks, "sudo port install tsocks"). After that, you should be able to say "sudo tsocks port install ..." to cause port and all of its children to use your socks proxy. You might have to configure /opt/local/etc/tsocks.conf to match your System Preferences settings. -- Randal L.

any way to make --enforce-variants the default?
It seems like this new "--enforce-variants" switch is just a pain. In a cargo-cult way, I now have to include it on every "upgrade", because it invariably breaks when I don't. So then I wonder, why isn't it the default? And I've run into a tougher place. I tried to install something new. But that triggered the upgrade of something else, which then failed because, yup, again, --enforce-variants isn't set. But why (and how!) would I have set --enforce-variants on "sudo port install gimp". This is *not* making sense. So, what's the purpose of this new switch, and when would you ever *not* use it? -- Randal L.

Re: MacPorts 1.8.0 has been released
This port broke my system. Good thing I had backups, so I could figure out what went wrong. $ sudo port -v selfupdate [upgrade to 1.8.0] $ port outdated The following installed ports are outdated: libcanberra0.15_0 < 0.16_0 $ sudo port -puv upgrade libcanberra ... warnings about skipping upgrades ... ---> Cleaning libcanberra ---> Removing build directory for libcanberra ---> Uninstalling libcanberra @0.15_0 ---> Uninstall is removing libcanberra from the port registry. $ port outdated zsh: command not found: port What the F. Turns out the install is *removing* my /opt symlink, which points at private/opt. Why is the new installer removing my symlink? That's none of its business. -- Randal L.

Re: how to prevent a package from upgrade

Or even install a dummy package that *requires* php-5.2 and won't accept 5.3 (I think that's possible), and then at least you'll get all sorts of alarms when you try to deactivate 5.2. -- Randal L.
