+      Note: ports that are not available on your new platform will be skipped without error.
    a. (optional) Restore requested status:
       If you saved the list of requested ports, you can now restore the requested flags for your newly installed ports to their former states.
       {{{
       sudo port unsetrequested installed
       xargs sudo port setrequested < requested.txt
       }}}
+      Warning: if a port in `requested.txt` was ''not'' installed in the previous step, the iterative `setrequested` will terminate, leaving some ports still marked as not-requested. Edit `requested.txt` to remove any ports that were not installed and repeat this step. Double check your desired ports are set as requested with `port echo requested`.
