This might be looking at the dependencies of the assp @1.1.0_0 port currently in the tree, not the new ASSP @1.7.1.5_0 port you're developing.

Or equivalently:

port installed assp

Though with MacPorts 1.9.0 "port installed" is much quicker so there's not as much of a penalty for running the full "installed" and then grepping.

"port list" probably isn't what you want; see:

http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#portlist

Also, you're missing the colon after the selector. So what you really want is maybe

$ port echo rdependentof:ASSP
$ port echo dependentof:ASSP
$ port echo depof:ASSP
perl5                           
unzip                           
$ port echo rdepof:ASSP
perl5                           
perl5.8                         
unzip                           
$

If this is not the output you expected, it may again be looking at the old assp currently in the ports tree and not the new ASSP you're developing. If you were to get your new port into the index (run portindex in your local ports repository) that should help.


> Did MacPorts get significantly faster, I just popped the version on this to 1.7.1.5 and while I understand MP's can't make things compile any faster, the text that was scrolling by that was MP's based stuff, felt a heck of a lot faster.  If it did, good work to everyone involved, it is certainly something I can feel, which generally means at least 20% improvement.

MacPorts 1.9.0 is significantly faster in several ways, particularly determining installed and outdated ports (now takes seconds instead of minutes).
