Comment(by dweber@…):

 Oops, let's fix that formatting!

 When debugging the install process, I often clean out the destroot
 entirely because of the file copy error. My debug process looks something
 like:

 {{{
 $ sudo port destroot vtk-devel +huge
 $ # examine build and destroot, revise Portfile as required
 $ sudo rm -rf ${workpath}/destroot
 $ sudo vim ${workpath}/.macports*.state # to remove destroot state
 $ sudo port -o -k -d destroot vtk-devel +huge
 }}}

 The -o option avoids an entire rebuild just because the Portfile changed.
 Of course, if you change build settings or something, then you may want to
 rebuild. For the most part, the debug process has to tweak the destroot
 (vtk usually compiles OK).

 The -k option is just there to 'keep' the build. I leave it in the command
 line just in case I change the destroot to an install command (my macports
 config does a clean after an install).
