Help rebuilding ports list... How do I do a 'port provides' without port contents?

[steve jenkin]

Ryan,

Thanks very much for those answers. I’ve installed what I could.

I’ve got gcc 4.5 and llvm 3.3/3.6 installed. They don’t have those programs anymore.

It wasn’t obvious from any of the doco that I read that ‘selfupdate’ contained the Macports program.

I was wondering if there was a comprehensive place to look within macports.
It seems in old versions there was a database like the Debian ‘Contents’ file, but now ‘port contents' is handled by the '.tar.bz2’ files used to deactivate/activate, so its not possible to easily recover if the contents files are lost.

all the best
steve
