Component:  base                 |     Version:  1.6.0

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Some operations, like lint, who perform a simple read-only operation do
 not really need a lot of state tracking. It would be nice to have an
 option that prevents writing to the state file during this operation.
 This can help do some things with the port command without root (write)
 privileges.
