#43250: Summary of a update all ports at the end -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: lagrave+bugs+macosforge.org@… | Owner: macports- Type: enhancement | tickets@… Priority: Normal | Status: new Component: ports | Milestone: Keywords: | Version: 2.2.1 | Port: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- I just run an update all ports (and it is, after six hours, not finished). So far it has generated 2836 lines of output, without verbose output being enabled. A couple of times during these six hours/3000 lines there has been output such as {{{ To use bash_completion, add the following lines at the end of your .bash_profile: if [ -f /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then . /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh fi The port bash-completion >=2.0 requires bash >=4.1; please make sure you are using /opt/local/bin/bash by changing the preferences of your terminal accordingly. If your version of bash is too old, the script above will not modify your shell environment and no extended completion will be available. }}} I guess I don't need to explain why it is easy to fail to notice this, usually quite important and useful, information. I think all information like this should be output (repeated) at the end of install, upgrade, whatever process so I know how to activate bash completions, select which version of Python to use etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43250> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
