// vim: set et sw=4 ts=8 ft=asciidoc tw=80: port-setrequested(1) ==================== NAME ---- port-setrequested, port-unsetrequested, port-setunrequested - Set and clear the 'manually installed' flag of a port SYNOPSIS -------- [cmdsynopsis] *port* [*-qvd*] [*-D* 'portdir'] *setrequested* [['portname' | 'pseudo-portname' | 'port-expressions' | 'port-url']] [cmdsynopsis] *port* [*-qvd*] [*-D* 'portdir'] [*unsetrequested* | *setunrequested*] [['portname' | 'pseudo-portname' | 'port-expressions' | 'port-url']] DESCRIPTION ----------- MacPorts keeps records indicating whether you installed a port manually, or whether it was pulled in as a dependency of another port. This flag is called 'requested' and is usually automatically set for all ports you list after *port install* when installing. You can disable this automatic behavior by passing the *--unrequested* flag to *port install*. See man:port-install[1] for more information. *port setrequested* and *port unsetrequested* allow you to manipulate the requested flag of a port manually. *port setunrequested* is an alias of *port unsetrequested*. The requested flag is used to expand the 'leaves' pseudo-portname, i.e. the list of ports that were automatically installed and are no longer needed. See man:port[1] for more information on pseudo-portnames. include::global-flags.txt[] SEE ALSO -------- man:port[1], man:port-install[1] AUTHORS ------- (C) 2015 The MacPorts Project Clemens Lang
