control verbose mode in Portfile?

2020-05-21 Thread René J . V . Bertin
Hi, Out of curiosity: is it possible to control verbose mode in a Portfile, like with `set +x` / `set -x` in shell scripts? I'd be interested to use that in the post-activate block of a number of my ports, as an easy way to give a little more feedback to the user. Thanks, R.
