In that case it's changed what it reports with the -d ... I've
always used that because that what the documentation says (or at
least said) to do.
It used to report the delta, ie the new, the changed and the deleted
files. Now it seems to report everything.
I was wondering partly because of the several Apache2 Portfile
changes I've seen go through on the "Commit Log" list, but haven't
apparently been caught by the sudo port -d selfupdate, as the sudo
port outdated hasn't brought up any results for Apache2

Whenever I've done a port sync recently (and I do it most days), I
seem to be downloading the whole heirarchy every time, and none of my
ports are outdated when I do a port outdated. I used to just get a
listing of the ports that had changed when I did a sudo port -d
selfupdate, I can't believe that everything is updated every day.
Maybe it is subtly changing every day, but it just seems to be the
same long list every day ...
It's not that everything changes every day when you see that list:
those are just the things that get checked to see if they've
changed, as far as I know.
I just did "port -v sync" and here's what I found.
I get the same list you saw, then these filenames:
aqua/Growl/files/patch-Growl.xcodeproj__project.pbxproj.i386
aqua/Growl/files/patch-Growl.xcodeproj__project.pbxproj.powerpc

deleting directory textproc/libmrss/files
deleting databases/mysql5/files/patch-mysys-base64.c
so I got some new files, some instructions were run, then this summary:
sent 10053 bytes received 290465 bytes 2931.88 bytes/sec
total size is 14699737 speedup is 48.91
I sent received more than I sent, so there is some new stuff to be
reviewed with "port outdated."
I think selfupdate with the debug flag is less useful than sync with
the verbose flag.
