And while we're at it, I just created an rc2 tag for 1.6.0, differing from rc1 only in James' turning readline support into an optional configuration (r31139-31139 and merged into the release_1_6 branch in r31190) and in the Tcl cd command hiding reversion thing (r31193 only in the release_1_6 branch). Every developer/committer should reinstall MacPorts off this tag and test as extensively as possible!
Apparently the lack of readline is making interactive mode very strange. Note how the prompt doesn't appear until after the thing I typed.
---snip--- Yeah, quite annoying, the prompt appears only with output and then vanishes again when waiting for input. James is surely the best fit to comment on this, but in a rather Pontius-Pilate-way I guess we could say that it is highly recommended to enable readline support if you plan to use interactive mode. Nevertheless, I do agree this strange behavior is something that should be looked into. -jmpp
