I am confused.
Reading man port:
-f force mode (ignore state file)
Yet a second run with -f produces:
$ sudo port -sdf configure mysql5-server 2>&1 | grep Skipping
$ sudo port -sdf configure mysql5-server 2>&1 | grep Skipping
DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.fetch (mysql5-server)
DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.checksum (mysql5-server)
DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.extract (mysql5-server)
DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.patch (mysql5-server)
DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.configure (mysql5-server)
In what context is the state file being ignored?
