 Note that if you have specified variants which are not the default, you may need to install ports in an order other than the alphabetical order recorded in `myports.txt`.
 
-=== Automatically reinstall ports === #autoinstall
+=== Automatically reinstall ports (EXPERIMENTAL) === #automatic
 
-If you want to do the whole procedure automatically instead, including handling dependencies, you can run the following commands to build a Makefile for running the reinstalls in the right order.  (Not needed If you already ran the steps in the previous section.)
+A script has been written to automate Step 4 above, though it is still experimental. If it fails, you will just have to do it manually.
+
+To use it, you will first need to run steps 1-3 as described above. Then:
+ 4. Run these commands to download and execute the restore_ports script. (If you installed MacPorts from source and put its Tcl package somewhere other than /Library/Tcl, then you'll need to use the -t option when you run restore_ports.tcl; see `./restore_ports.tcl -h`.
