     190=== Why was the `cd` command removed from trunk? ===
     191
     192The `cd` command was removed from trunk in r28796. As of release 1.7.0 it will no longer be available for use in Portfiles. `cd` is harmful as it changes the current directory of the whole process and not only of the current Tcl interpreter. Also, it becomes unreliable when used inside phases and other phases begin to rely on it.

     194Please use absolute paths instead, starting with ${worksrcpath}. If you need to run a command with `system`, use it like `system "cd ${worksrcpath} && autoreconf"`.
