#50216: Migration failed on El Capitan
---------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  daryl@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:           |       Port:
---------------------+--------------------------------
 Following the procedure at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration I,
 perhaps with too much trust, followed the instructions explicitly,
 arriving at the "put it all back step" : sudo ./restore_ports.tcl
 myports.txt.  I got three lines of output:

 Warning: Skipping Can't (not in the ports tree)
 Warning: Skipping Please (not in the ports tree)
 Warning: Skipping To (not in the ports tree)

 Smelling a rat, I had a look at myports.txt (which I should have done
 immediately on creating it, I now realize) and here it is:

 Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find
 Portfile in /Users/daryl").
 Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
 To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

 Now when I run
 $ port -qv installed
 I get nothing.

 Being of a philosophical sort, I suppose I'll take that as a sign that
 this was a good time to clean out the attic and install only what I want
 now.  But before going down that path, do you suppose restoring from my
 TimeMachine backup would succeed, or would that be just too complicated?
