#50216: Migration failed on El Capitan ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: daryl@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------+-------------------------------- Following the procedure at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration I, perhaps with too much trust, followed the instructions explicitly, arriving at the "put it all back step" : sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt. I got three lines of output: Warning: Skipping Can't (not in the ports tree) Warning: Skipping Please (not in the ports tree) Warning: Skipping To (not in the ports tree) Smelling a rat, I had a look at myports.txt (which I should have done immediately on creating it, I now realize) and here it is: Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/daryl"). Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct. To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory. Now when I run $ port -qv installed I get nothing. Being of a philosophical sort, I suppose I'll take that as a sign that this was a good time to clean out the attic and install only what I want now. But before going down that path, do you suppose restoring from my TimeMachine backup would succeed, or would that be just too complicated? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50216> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
