Description
port -vd selfupdate on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, delivers for many minutes reports that this or that port has all compilers unavailable or blacklisted. Can't this prety useless output be suppressed?
On the other hand port lists presumingly hundreds of ports that cannot be built, by whatever reason. Can't this list be suppressed?
port outdated lists xorg-server-devel although it cannot be upgraded. So it is not outdated, it has finished. Why is it listed and why is port trying to upgrade it when invoked as port upgrade although it's not possible? If you can't do anything about it why do you mention it? And if completeness is a design goal: while not adding an extra verbose switch or simple -vv?
