Transferring complete MacPorts prefix to other Mac

[Bayard Bell]

>> Based on the information you provided I will proceed to re-install everything from scratch on those machines. The problem is, I don't remember me testing if rsync preserves links during transfer, at least using the command I used (rsync -vazuE)

-a implies -l, so you should be good on that front. You may have some problems if you use -u after a transfer that was interrupted, as rsync may not have a chance to move back the timestamp for a file that was in flight.
