I just had an interesting problem, as detailed in ticket <http:// trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11200>.
Can anybody tell me why port upgrade used to build first, then install the new one, then deactivate/uninstall the old, then activate the new? And why now it's always deactivating/uninstalling first before installing the new?
Because we changed the upgrade target to 'unarchive' (and never changed it back). (I sent a mail to the list on August 25 outlining the issue). I don't have commit to base/ and those that do seemed to ignore it, though.
Except, as you can see in my log, doing the upgrade without it already installed finished the aborted build, installed, then uninstalled and started trying to re-build/install again?
If you aren't using archive mode, and you turn it off (as it's now off by default), the upgrade target will be 'destroot' and things should work like they used to. -- Daniel J.
