Just did a
port notes installed
on my admittedly fairly small installation, but the only port that had any
notes is
python26 has the following notes:
To fully complete your installation and make python 2.6 the default, please
run:
sudo port install python_select
sudo python_select python26
I've always wondered how to retrieve the useful "instructions" that go through
at the end of an install, eg how to load/unload a startup item other than by
uninstalling and reinstalling the port, or remembering to make a clipping of
the Terminal window etc.
However, when I did
port notes all | grep -v no\ notes
Just these ports had notes:
aspell
color-theme-mode.el
dnsmasq
geant4
hunspell
mkhexgrid
mod_fcgid
python26
TeXShop
ZendFranework
(Yes I could have done
port notes all | grep has\ the\ following\ notes
but I wanted to see the contents of the notes as well)
