Since nothing I have installed has any notes in the portfile but many of them have ui_msg could we possibly add a flag or another command to print the ui_msg as well?

port notes apache2 :ui_msg

Which ui_msgs? As explained, ui_msg can appear anywhere in a portfile, inside if clauses, inside phases, inside variants, etc.

All the ui_msgs excluding non-selected variants.

I would rather ports be modified to start using the notes feature.


Haven't you ever installed a port with -v that had deps, sometimes a lot of them, and wonder if there were any ui_msg for the deps that were important?

I find many things more fun then searching through miles of scroll buffer.
