You have to use "port setrequested" on all the ports that you WANT installed, but you DONT have to do it for their dependencies. So for instance, I have 240 ports installed, but I actually only want 6 of those. The rest are just required dependencies. > From Joshua's original post I understood that it should seamlessly simply > replace the port "port" and after changing the port db format to sqlite only > port's internal database should be rebuild to reflect the current state of my > macports install in the other format WITHOUT the need to reinstall everything > I had installed previously. > >From now on whenever you install a new port with "port install portname" it will be marked as requested automatically. You don't need to reinstall anything, just mark some things as requested (if you want to use this new functionality).
