I have to rebuild my OS due to a crappy network stack issue (TKIP keeps breaking wirelessly), and want to back up my MacPorts installation.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can store /opt with perms on another machine, redo this box, install MacPorts, and move /opt back, and everything should theoretically work, correct?
Is there anything else I should do?
Presumably that would work. You could tar it all up so that there's only a single file to move back and forth, and no chance of losing the permissions in the process.
