-----------------------+-------------------
 After updating OS from 10.7.5 to 10.12, I tried to update the macport
 through the instructions provided in migration webpage.
 However I am having several problems at the final stage while doing
 {{{
  sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt
 }}}
 A few of which I note below,
 {{{

 Why it can't make the directory even though I am running with sudo?

 It looks like the previously installed ports in myports.txt have changed
 their names in the new version?
 Its very time-consuming to go through one by one. Is there a better way
 out?
 Should I remove everything and try to build a new fresh port?
