GSoC Project: Final Report

[Lawrence Velázquez]

When using the -y "dry-run" option, I get a prompt at every level of the dependency tree. This doesn't seem right.

    % sudo port -y install appstream-glib
    For icu: skipping org.macports.main (dry run)
    --->  Computing dependencies for boost
    The following dependencies will be installed:  icu
    Continue? [Y/n]: n

    The following dependencies will be installed:

When I remove -y and run again, I get no prompts at all. This also doesn't seem right.
