Okay, so I'm upgrading gcc43, going from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 (current). It's going to take 2 hours say. You find it superior that MacPorts should (somehow) stop me from using gcc 4.3.1 to perhaps write a couple hello-world sized test cases while it's compiling gcc 4.3.2 instead of just compiling 4.3.2 elsewhere, and then swapping them out when it's done?
Kindly permit me to draw you an analogy: You want to buy a new car. The search for a new car will take 3 weeks. You find it superior that I take away your current car while you're shopping for the new car, instead of letting you use your current car up until you find a new car, and then swapping them?
