Yes, but port installed takes "ages" to process (~2 seconds on my machine), whereas grep variants.conf is "instant". :)
"port installed" used to take ages (minutes) but this was dramatically improved to now only take seconds. I think this is completely acceptable performance.
That may be true, but while we have it, why not improve this feature's handling? :)
From what I understand this would make MacPorts more similar to Gentoo Portage, but I am not yet convinced it would be an improvement. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30328#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
