Description (last modified by nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne))

Jim Busser sent this Guide feedback to macports-mgr:

Under 4.2 Creating a Portfile > 14. Port dependencies where it says

A port's dependencies are ports that must be installed before another port is installed.

and gives the example depends_lib might it be worth cautioning to see 5.3.2.1 (bullet 2) on preferred use of the -append, -delete keyword modifiers

This should be considered not only for the depends_lib example but also for the configure.args example and the categories example, since portgroups commonly define those.
