Description

Following the procedure at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration I, perhaps with too much trust, followed the instructions explicitly, arriving at the "put it all back step" : sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt. I got three lines of output:

Warning: Skipping Can't (not in the ports tree) Warning: Skipping Please (not in the ports tree) Warning: Skipping To (not in the ports tree)

Smelling a rat, I had a look at myports.txt (which I should have done immediately on creating it, I now realize) and here it is:

Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/daryl"). Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct. To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

Now when I run $ port -qv installed I get nothing.

Being of a philosophical sort, I suppose I'll take that as a sign that this was a good time to clean out the attic and install only what I want now. But before going down that path, do you suppose restoring from my TimeMachine backup would succeed, or would that be just too complicated?
