`port archive` ?

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

It happens that I'd like to "install" a variant of a self-built port without actually activating it (e.g. when libraries are in use and I have no immediate need to activate that different variant).

Looking through the code I saw there must exist a `port archive` command that isn't documented in the manpage. Does that do what I'm looking for or does it just make the tar bundle under $prefix/var/macports/software ?

Thanks,
R.
