Port's normal mode of operation is to run as many of the requested
commands as possible and not exit when a command fails. It does this by
suppressing the error status from the commands. This is certainly
incorrect when there's only one command run and it fails, but it's less
clear what should happen when some of the requested commands succeed.
You can make the first failed command cause port to exit, with the
appropriate return code, by using the -x option on the command line.
