I am trying to verify the xorg-libXt port. It seems that xorg-libXdmcp has now become dependant on xorg-xproto. I checked the history of the xorg-libXdmcp Portfile, and it hasn't been changed in 6 months. So, the Portfile hasn't changed since I started. I did my original testing less than 2 months ago. The only thing that I can think of that is different is I may have tested on an updated version of OS X 10.4.11. I am currently running a base install of OS X 10.4.6 without running update. 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. Michael

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
