Google searchability -- good observation. Some ports go a little overboard with how much info they print. Others like mysql probably print not enough information. I think it would be great if ports that have setup instructions would either put them in a file and then just tell the user where that file is, or like you say put it on a wiki page and then just print the url to the wiki page. This would be cleaner than printing a bunch at post-install time which it's hard for a user to review after installation. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
