    5050One known issue is that the script will fail if there are conflicting ports in the list. It's possible to have conflicting ports installed provided at most one of the conflicting set is active.

     53{{{
     54sudo port unsetrequested installed
     55sudo port setrequested myport1 myport2 …
     56}}}
