Port groups howto

[Jeremy Lavergne]

If it's the PortGroup then phases are being clobbered in some fashion. Possible, yes, but unlikely to work at all otherwise.

I suspect it's deeper, like the locking mechanism in MacPorts: you can do multiple non-install commands, but the moment you use an install command all others get locked out--even while it's doing fetch for its dependencies.

Something in the PortGroup might simply be uncovering it. I don't see anything glaringly wrong with the PortGroup and the behavior doesn't seem to reflect the PortGroup, so I assume it's not the PortGroup.
