Macports is run entirely by volunteers, none of whom get paid to do it.
I know, of course; I am myself involved in free software.
If you want some new functionality, the best way to get it is to work on it and offer it to the community.
As soon as I have the time to learn TCL and the innards of the Macports system (I am working on it). Still, I hope you don't mind if I comment on features and whatnot--if only developers can comment on these then please say so. By the way, if I offended somebody I do apologize, as this was not my intention whatsoever.
If we had a test-build system of some sort set up, it would be possible to at least tag ports as building successfully or not.... (hint hint).
Unfortunately I have only one Mac OS machine, which is not permanently on line (it is my day to day laptop).
You could upgrade with -dv and redirect the output to a file so you could go back and look at it later.
That's an excellent suggestion, thank you very much. Stefan
