#66285: Is it possible to hide ports that cannot be built on this Mac or OS?
----------------------------+----------------------
Reporter: ballapete | Owner: (none)
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.8.0
Keywords: tiger, leopard | Port: MacPorts
----------------------------+----------------------
`port -vd selfupdate` on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, delivers for many
minutes reports that this or that port has all compilers unavailable or
blacklisted. Can't this prety useless output be suppressed?
On the other hand port lists presumingly hundreds of ports that cannot be
built, by whatever reason. Can't this list be suppressed?
`port outdated` lists `xorg-server-devel` although it cannot be upgraded.
So it is not outdated, it has finished. Why is it listed and why is port
trying to upgrade it when invoked as `port upgrade` although it's not
possible? If you can't do anything about it why do you mention it? And if
completeness is a design goal: while not adding an extra verbose switch or
simple `-vv`?
