MacPorts 1.8.2 has been released

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	I had noticed the "computing dependencies for" at the beginning of an  
install of upgrade when it first started appearing in 1.8.0.  It made  
sense which is why I thought it was a good idea and did not mention  
it; but, I had not seen the second reference before 1.8.2 which is why  
I asked.  The reason for noticing is that I sometimes glance over to  
the Terminal window to see what is being upgraded and to what version  
from what version.  It was also mentioned in an earlier posting that  
when upgrading dependencies that a test be made to test for "dependent  
on" which is different than "dependent for" and wondering if the  
suggestion had been acted upon using the wrong wording.  It is not a  
problem, just an observation.
