Comment (by ryandesign):
The package creation facilities of MacPorts are generic, and not suited to
the specifics needed to package MacPorts itself. The MacPorts port already
overrides a lot of it. Putting the code to do that into MacPorts base
Makefiles moves it where it belongs. This will allow us to further extend
the packaging of MacPorts base in ways that aren't as easy when MacPorts
itself is controlling the process. It also allows us to package MacPorts
on a machine that does not have MacPorts installed.
The PR to move the configure phase functionality of the MacPorts port to
the standard_configure.sh script is https://github.com/macports/macports-
base/pull/86. The Makefile portion of the changes is still in development.
