+== Testing Port Phases ==
+
+Individual port phases (extract, patch, configure, build, etc.) can be run by using the appropriate keyword:
+{{{
+port build python26
+}}}
+All phases that have not already been performed up to the designated phase will be run.  If you want to rerun a port command that completed successfully, you can edit ./work/.macports.[port name].state and remove the lines up to the completed stage you want to keep.
+
+By default, if the portfile is changed, you will get the message:
+{{{
+Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.
+}}}
+and the build directory will be removed (cleaned) before proceeding.  When debugging a portfile, this can be avoided by using the '-o' flag (from the manpage):
+{{{
+-o       honor state files older than Portfile
+}}}
