Nice. HOWTOs I'd like to see there are - How to upgrate outdated ports most effectively (port upgrade -fun ?) - How to uninstall MacPorts completely - How to start writing Portfile On Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 9:04 AM, Rainer Müller <raimue@macports.org> wrote:

Hi,

I started a new HOWTO section in the wiki [1]. These HOWTOs should cover tutorials and tips how specific things can be done using MacPorts. This is meant to be an addition to the guide and should not contain topics already covered by the guide. It is a place editable by everyone to share tips and tricks.

So far I just added two HOWTOs to demonstrate how they should look like. If you have a good idea what such a HOWTO could cover, feel free to add it to the list. And if you even want to help by writing a HOWTO/tutorial yourself in order to make using MacPorts easier, there is a template which you can use as a start.

So far I added two HOWTOs, one explaining how to use ccache and another how parallel building can be enabled. Of course you are free to edit them e.g. to add further information.

Also, there is a list what could also be written. Even if you don't have time to write a HOWTO yourself, please make your mind what else could be useful and add it to that list.
