#20556: Port should ask before performing time consuming or complex operations ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: nick@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Changes (by blb@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => worksforme * component: ports => base Comment: Hundreds? klavaro appears to need just gtk2, which brings in nearly 90 packages in total. Since MacPorts will install necessary dependencies for whatever you tell it to install, then your request would basically mean every run of port would need to first ask, since it could involve quite a few dependencies; or it could be just a few, but some ports may take quite some time to build. Hence, any use of 'port install' may be time consuming.
