Comment (by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 ryandesign@…]:
 > Well before you can install and launch it, you have to configure and
 compile it, like MacPorts would,

 This is quite clear. And if I can't find out how port would do this job, I
 can simply force port to start again and copy&paste environment settings,
 the configure invocation, and then start to make the same target.

 > or you have to use the commit hashes `git bisect` tells you to modify
 the portfile to use that hash, then use MacPorts to rebuild the port.

 I have no idea what to do with a "hash"… except maybe in Perl! But this
 "modify the portfile" sounds very interesting. This would allow me to just
 invoke `port install xorg-server-devel` over and over again, after each
 launch of the X server and decision to classify the build as good or bad.
 How does this actually work? Is there some log of such a session
 available?
