I would prefer if -b would work without activating archive mode before.Is there a reasoning behind this?
I think it's just an artifact of the original archive implementation.IIRC, it's not implemented as a build phase in the same way as the other phases.
When I was working on remote-archive, I ended up thinking that a new phase (unarchive) would be the cleanest way to implement it, but never got around to generating a working patch.
Basically the archive skips all build steps and extracts a destroot, so I don't think we need to activate a special mode before.
I agree.I think there was also some intention to have the portfile in the archive consulted for post-install (and uninstall) procs, but I don't think it was implemented.
