#33491 new enhancement
Save binary packages to user-specified location

Description
I'm requesting the ability to specify on the command-line the location for the output file when creating a binary archive package, metapackage, disk image or meta-disk image. This should, when invoked, override the default setting of saving the binary archive to the port's work directory.
Context: I use a Mac Pro as a MacPorts 'factory', producing metapackages and disk images for use on other Macs I own. The implementation of this enhancement request would make the process a lot easier.

Hi, I'm the one who reported this request. When I asked on the mailing list (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/27169) I was given to believe this option didn't exist. So, apologies for the redundant request :)
However, could you link to further information on this option? It isn't mentioned in the man page or in the guide (http://guide.macports.org/).
I am having a wee issue with the MacPorts Tracker though. As you'll notice, this ticket was reported using a different, and now redundant, email address. I changed my Tracker account's email address on the 7th March, but your follow-up to this ticket was still sent to my old address. It's a bit of a kink that it'd be nice to have ironed out. If you have the authority, could you re-assign this ticket as Reported By my replacement email address? I'm assuming it'll be the one used to allocate a username to this response.
Cheers.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to add: this ticket isn't showing as owned by me in my account either, which appears to be another kink. I've used the following pages to check: {7} My Tickets {8} Active Tickets, Mine First {9} Open Tickets Reported By Me {10} All Tickets Reported By Me Each page reports, "No matches found".

package.destpath
is a portfile option, so you can override it on the command line like any other option, as shown in the synopsis in the man page.
port pkg someport package.destpath=/some/path
You could use
package.destpath
to override.
