Description (last modified by jmpp@…)

if one invokes the activate command, it seems as though it should also deactivate an already-active version automatically rather than require the user to manually deactivate then activate...

jpm.giant-jellyfish ~ -=> port installed mysql5 The following ports are currently installed:

mysql5 @5.0.22_0+darwin_8+server mysql5 @5.0.24_0+darwin_8+server (active)

jpm.giant-jellyfish ~ -=> sudo port activate mysql5 @5.0.22_0+darwin_8+server ---> Activating mysql5 5.0.22_0+darwin_8+server Error: port activate failed: Image error: Another version of mysql5 (5.0.24_0+darwin_8+server) is already active. jpm.giant-jellyfish ~ -=>
