Hi. Now that I'm a committer, I have some questions about how I'm meant to be proceeding with my duties of editing ports. There are two titles on the wiki that sound like they would answer this question -- CommitterDocs and NewCommittersGuide -- unfortunately both of these documents explain very little. Following basically these instructions (which seem like they should be in the wiki somewhere)... http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2006-October/ 000488.html ...(except using https) I checked out the trunk from the repository and changed my sources.conf to point to the dports directory. Then I set about making changes to the ImageMagick port, updating it to the current version. Now that I've done that, "port outdated" still doesn't show my installed ImageMagick to be outdated. Is it supposed to? Or am I supposed to force the installation with "sudo port upgrade -ncuf ImageMagick", which is what I'm doing?

port outdated checks the portindex, which won't have your updates in it until the next index generation run (twice daily) and you update to get the new portindex that was generated after your update. -- Daniel J.
