Re-installing a port from source
If I have an installed port and want to force re-installation from source, I
can do it with 'port upgrade -s -f {portname}'. But then all of its
dependencies are also re-installed from source. Why is this? I thought usually
this recursive upgrade has to be forced with --enforce-variants? Is there a
better way to do it?

upgrade checks if dependencies need to be upgraded as well. these checks
are as subject to -f as the original upgrade is.
Perhaps you want the -n option. (`man port` is a good thing to read
occasionally.)

Re: Re-installing a port from source
I do read it more than occasionally, but it's easy to miss things in the mass
of detail. Besides, it doesn't work:
~$ sudo port -s -f -n upgrade emacs-app
--- Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--- No broken files found.

Re: Re-installing a port from source
Your flags swapped location:
Originally you had port upgrade -f but now you have port -f upgrade. Switching
back to upgrade -f is likely all that’s wrong here.
sudo port -s -n upgrade -f emacs-app

Re: Re-installing a port from source
No, sorry:
$ sudo port -s -n upgrade -f emacs-app
--- Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--- No broken files found.
But, using upgrade --force did:
$ sudo port -s -n upgrade --force emacs-app
--- Computing dependencies for emacs-app
--- Fetching distfiles for emacs-app
--- Verifying checksums for emacs-app
--- Extracting emacs-app
In retrospect, I can sort of see this in the man page, but you really have to
know what you're looking for... (Global switches vs. action switches can be a
real pain.) Thanks for setting me on the right path.

Re: Re-installing a port from source
Likewise, I assumed your initial use of -f was a hidden action shorthand so I reused it in the example :-) On Jan 13, 2014, at 17:00, Davor Cubranic cubra...@stat.ubc.ca wrote: In retrospect, I can sort of see this in the man page, but you really have to know what you're looking for...
