Just reinstalling MacPorts would not affect installed ports. The Migration
stuff (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration) would involve removing and
reinstalling ports.

I suppose you could just reinstall the MacPorts base and then verify that
all active ports have all their files. Reinstall any ports that report
missing files.

oIFS="$IFS"
# note that this is a single newline in single quotes
IFS='
'
for port in $(port -q echo active); do
  for file in $(port -q contents "$port" | sed -n 's/^  //p'); do
test -e "$file" || echo "MISSING from $port: $file"
  done
done
IFS="$oIFS"

Does that include all of the ports I have installed?

MacPorts sets up a non-GUI user that it does builds under (instead of doing
them as root). Apparently Time Machine doesn't like this and wants to make
it match your user,

I would skip that part of it and reinstall MacPorts to make sure the user
is set up properly. I don't know offhand if TM will restore things like
launchd plists properly, or if you should follow Migration to make sure
installed ports haven't lost anything.

Time Machine restore

[Mark Brethen]

I had my hard drive wiped with a clean install of El Capitan. I noticed in the 
Time Machine checklist a MacPorts item with a message that MacPorts Home would 
moved to my user (size was zero kb). What is this and do I need to re-install 
macports? port command seems to work fine and I did not change operating 
systems.

Thanks. I have rerun the installer and run upgrade outdated and it is not 
complaining about the user. So, perhaps  the installation is sane now.

Actually, I would still like to know what information is needed to create the

Just installing macports via the installer dmg will do it, without disrupting 
installed ports (but again, you will have disrupted some of those anyway 
through missing their startupitems etc.).

Re: dolfin and vtk

[Marius Schamschula]

Gideon,

I created a vtk6 variant, see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50815

It will be up to the maintainer to commit this. You might want to add yourself 
to the CCs.

dolfin and vtk

[Gideon Simpson]

dolfin appears to be broken on el capitan because it depends on vtk5, which has 
a built error in 10.11 (see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49418).  vtk 6, on 
the other hand, installs without a problem.  is there a way to get dolfin to 
use the vtk that does work in place of the one that doesn’t?
