ChangeLog for this release:

Release 1.4.41 (16-May-2007 tagged at r25266 by jberry):

     - `port info` now supports new --index flag for using old  
behaviour (eridius r25256).

     - `port info` now opens the Portfile and displays up-to-date  
information.
       This allows information about variants to be displayed (eg.  
dependencies).
       Also allow `port info` to default to current directory if no  
name is provided
       (eridius r25255).

     - Add -E flag to reinplace, does the same thing as in sed  
(eridius r25251).

     - Add support for [nosync] flag in sources.conf to prevent a  
source from syncing
       during a `port sync` or `port selfupdate` (eridius r25236).
       Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/dports [nosync]

     - Updating a file: source via svn update during port sync now  
uses the uid/gid
       of the owner of the working copy (eridius r25142).

     - Make port(1) convert description and long_description from  
lists to
       strings before printing to stdout; this enables the proper  
printing of
       semi-colons, brackets and other characters by way of Tcl  
escape sequences.
       The exceptions to this are the sequences for newline and  
carriage return
       (these break the flatfile PortIndex format by introducing line  
breaks).
       (boeyms r25110)

     - Evaluate variants at dportopen instead of dportexec. This  
ensures that
       the portfile represents the proper information if queried  
before targets
       are executed. It also prevents variants from being executed  
twice if multiple
       targets are executed separately on the portfile (ticket  
#11296, eridius r25033).

     - Fix copy and move commands (eridius r25024).

     - Passing multiple arguments to $option-delete now works as  
expected
       (ticket #11929, eridius r25006).

     - fs-traverse no longer follows symlinks specified on the root.  
This fixes
       the incorrect behaviour of delete seen in #11862 (eridius  
r25003).

     - Remove bundled xar. (jberry r24913).

     - Tighten checking of port name in depspecs. neither + nor / is  
allowed.
       (jberry r24929, r24934, r24940).

     - Restore ability for portindex lines to contain carriage  
returns, allowing
       fields such as descriptions to contain line breaks. Note that  
any portindex
       containing such entries will not be readable by a recent  
version of macports.
       (jberry r25146)

     - Add support for descriptions on variants:
          * The syntax follows the syntax for variant depends, etc.
          * Descriptions for variants are entirely optional
          * The change to the portindex format to allow variant  
descriptions
            should be backwards compatible. Variant descriptions are  
stored,
            keyed by the variant name, in a new portinfo array named  
"variant_desc".

         Example:

             variant myvariant description "This variant does this  
and that" {
                 configure.args-append   --do-this --do-that
             }

         (jberry r25147)

     - Only look for, or create, ~/.macports user directory if the  
HOME environment
       variable is defined. (jberry r25177)
