If direct mode is removed, I will use the following to work around: port destroot foo rsync -tpogHlr /opt/local/var/macports/build/foo/work/destroot/opt/local /opt [or wherever the destroot is]
This would effectively turn macports into a simple way to build packages based on the maintainer's having discovered what needs patching and which configure options there are. Unfortunately, it kills the ability to track when a port needs to be upgraded.
I do not wish to proliferate thousands of hard links to old ports and such on the system. But I am not asking for permission or support.
