The profile is only modified by the MacPorts dmg installer, and it is supposed to not modify the profile if it detects that it has already been modified. I don't know why this detection failed for you but I also don't have time to investigate it further right now. But you may want to file a bug report in the issue tracker because this should not be happening. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
