Re: Port Verification

Is there an easy way to validate ports? The way I have been doing it is very labor intensive (uninstall macports, remove all ports, re-install macports, test port). It would be nice if there was a way to run in a chroot environment for development testing of ports.

Try port -t which enables tracemode. In this tracemode accesses to non-referenced files are prohibited. But currently it still faces problems if some port is using e.g. /opt/local/bin/grep when it does not contain an explicit reference to it. Rainer
