Automatically reinstall ports (UPDATE)

[Jeff Singleton]

Hi All

I just wanted to see if we could bump this reinstall method up to a more
stable status.

I can and do confirm that under MacPorts 2.0.4, Xcode 4.3 (with persistent
License Agreement), and +universal variant enabled…the restore ports TCL
script, and steps provided on the Migration Info website
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration does work flawlessly.

What I did was purposely installed and used some 210 ports (some are
dependencies) for a period of about 30 days. During which time, I utilized
several areas of development, including a lot of Android related compiles
for some rom development, and Android applications, and also a good bit of
Security tools development and testing.

At some point, I got the feeling that some of my system utilities were not
being called when compiling one of the Android roms I help test. During the
investigation, I came to the conclusion that possibly my compiler was the
problem, so decided to move up to GCC 4.6 (port gcc46), and this is where I
encountered some issues with building a port that had once built
successfully after being patched (http://trac.macports.org/ticket/33152).

Enter my decision to rebuild my entire ports tree.

Below are the steps I used from the Migration page:

port -qv installed > myports.txt

port -fp uninstall --follow-dependents installed

port clean all

curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/contrib/restore_ports/restore_ports.tcl
chmod +x restore_ports.tcl
sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt

Here are the ports and dependencies that were rebuilt successfully using
this method:
