I used to like to run multiple installs simultaneously as well. Unfortunately this led to strange errors, and the lock was instituted. I too find it too granular, and a better solution would be welcomed. Here is the previous discussion that occurred when this lock was first implemented: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2010-August/012535.html _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
