I want to create a 'deep clone' of my MacPorts setup on another Mac. Both are running macOS Sonoma.
Just reinstalling everything is the way to go, but for certain reasons, I would like to have a deeper equivalence, expecially with respect to users and groups created on install (for instance I run unbound/nsd and they create users). These users are created in the 'local database' which can be read/written by the dscl command. Is there a way I can clone the MacPorts created users/groups first keeping them at the same uid/gid and then do a reinstall, so MacPorts finds already created users and leaves them alone?
