I never saw that, but that's exactly what it prints for me now.

Maybe, but you can say the same thing about updating the database.

Either way that's all a bit premature, let's first see how we can get a basic version to work. I've got the scan logic working but am still looking for inspiration how to move it to the cmake PortGroup and inject it into base from there.
But above all I need to understand how to get at the port client's progressbar functions from macports.tcl .
